During college and medical school, the author's summer employment acquainted him with members of organized crime families. After a full career as a primary care clinician and geriatrician with research on improving health care delivery, the author opines that several insights from organized crime should be of interest to health care professionals: (1) don't damage the host; (2) protect the brand; and (3) lead necessary adaption. From these insights, the author presents symptoms of failure evidenced by the US health care system, followed by several adaptations that would reduce the system's costs, improve its image, and address future challenges.
在大学和医学院期间，作者暑期打工时结识了有组织犯罪家族的成员。在经历了作为初级保健临床医生和老年病医生的完整职业生涯，并开展了关于改善医疗服务提供的研究之后，作者认为，有组织犯罪的几点见解应该会引起医疗保健专业人员的兴趣：（1）不要损害宿主；（2）保护品牌；（3）引领必要的适应。基于这些见解，作者列举了美国医疗保健系统出现故障的症状，随后提出了一些能降低系统成本、改善其形象并应对未来挑战的适应性措施。
