In one brief encounter, outside the exam room, you helped a person make a better health decision, and in partnership with their own physician. I love your strategy of empowering consumers to use information therapy, one patient at a time in the exam room as a physician, one consumer at a time during chance meetings on public transportation, one company at a time based on your work with employers and health care organizations, and one nation at a time based on your upcoming policy work in DC. Ted,

We should strive for this to be trained rather than to be learned by trial and error. I also think the IxT should have a different skill based on role (physician, allied health, etc).

The last point also raises some good questions: What is an information therapist? Who can be an information therapist? How do we train people to be information therapists--perhaps one of the greatest needs in health care today? Great story!
