An interesting day in Boston -- made me think (even) more about the ethics of obtaining informed consent from patients in studies of technology use.It was fascinating to visit the hospital: I get a real sense that patient safety and human factors are comprehended and cared about here in a way that they really aren't in any particular hospital in the UK. I got the same sense at Johns Hopkins; what are we doing wrong in the UK?
Boston is getting colder, as the weather turned for the worse: very cold wind, and a little bit of snowy stuff -- though nothing on the same scale as the dump they apparently had here a few weeks ago. I really should have taken photos while the sun was shining this morning...
