Viet Nam may be the only war we ever fought, or perhaps that was ever fought, in which the heroism of the American soldier was accompanied by humanitarianism unmatched in the annals of warfare.

What other Army has ever done that? Humanitarianism was America's great victory in Viet Nam.

There is no discrimination in this statistic, it covers all races, creeds, backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, social classes, rich, poor and on and on. Only recently has it come to light that the stress and mental wear-and-tear on caregivers is not much different than the patients for whom they care.

Software is eating the world—transforming industries from finance to retail, from media to transportation. Yet healthcare remains stubbornly resistant to digital transformation. In Inedible, healthcare innovator Mariano García-Valiño diagnoses this anomaly, explaining why healthcare continues to lag behind and revealing how it can finally leap forward. Drawing from decades of experience at the intersection of healthcare and technology, García-Valiño identifies the root cause: today’s healthcare systems were built for an era dominated by acute, infectious diseases. That era has passed.

Seamus O'Mahony writes about the illusion of progress, the notion that more and more diseases can be "conquered" ad infinitum. He punctures the idiocy of consumerism, the idea that healthcare can be endlessly adapted to the wishes of individuals. He excoriates the claims of Big Science, the spending of vast sums on research follies like the Human Genome Project. And he highlights one of the most dangerous errors of industrialized medicine: an over-reliance on metrics, and a neglect of things that can't easily be measured, like compassion.
