The medical field is increasingly complex not unlike our work in
education with technology. This video from @tedtalks outlines the
problem with medicine in a way that allows me to draw parallels with
what we do.

Atul Gawande asks, How can we fix medicine? on.ted.com/Gawande

Working together more as collaborative pit crews and less like
traditional cowboys is how Dr. Gawande phrases the solution for
medicine. A surprising tool coming from the aeronautics industry,
construction industry and present day cowboys is something I think we
would benefit from in our work: checklists. What do you think?
