Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
and if there's anything that I hope people take away from the stuff that you know we've been talking about it's that you must focus on health span at least as much as you focus on lifespan and if there's an enormous failure in medicine 2.0 it's the myopic focus on lifespan at the complete exclusion of Health span
if we made it analog instead of digital right I'm not saying that makes it easy it's still very challenging but now it allows us to start talking about things right as a person except it's a concept it's a qualitative concept right
I think it's a really useful term as a concept I think it's a really useful way to communicate to a broader audience what the what one of the goals is Right which is to increase the healthy period of Life yeah

and we started using that slide around 2005 and we were making the point around health span shortly afterwards and you know really this idea of preventing disease and keeping people healthy interacting earlier
If you did not extend lifespan by a day, >> yeah, >> but you just improved health span, that's a home run.
