Thank you to Jane Hiebert-White, who hosts the latest edition of the Health Wonk Review at the Health Affairs Blog. Health Wonk Review is a bi-weekly round-up of the best in health care policy blogging commentary. This edition is entitled “Health Wonk Review And Health Reform 2.0”.
Jane’s tribute to Paul Hiebert really touched me:
For myself, my hope is to stay just a fraction as sharp as my father-in-law, Paul Hiebert, whose memorial service I attended yesterday. In his last 2 months he wrote 2 books on anthropology, graded papers, lectured by phone, wrote a commencement address, and more, all while fighting cancer. His sharp brain advice to his students also holds for wonky bloggers–”just keep writing.”
This is the kind of life Jim Fries was thinking of when he wrote about “maximum life potential” and compression of morbidity. What a great role model!
