“Empathy and the ability to anticipate a patient’s changing needs are the hallmarks of an excellent physician.”

“The study found that between 2005 and 2009, door-to-balloon times were reduced across the nation; the number of patients waiting longer than 90 minutes decreased from 40.3 percent to 16.9 percent. Unfortunately, mortality was completely unchanged over this time period. Figure 5.1 displays in a striking way the decline in door-to-balloon time graphed against the unchanging mortality. Our tremendous and costly efforts improved door-to-balloon time but did not yield improvements in survival.”

“Throughout this book, we make the case against surrogate end points. We argue that the way to prevent reversal is to have good evidence that medical practices improve hard end points—the ones that we care about. It is entirely possible that we will someday have perfectly reliable surrogate end points, but that achievement will involve a great deal of hard work.”
