摘要

In April 2009 I found myself on the front page of the Boston Globe. A mere cancer patient, I'd written a blog post about my medical record. The Globe's reaction-on page 1-was my first glimpse of a big question: how can a patient say anything about medicine that's worthy of attention? It was the start of an improbable odyssey, leading to speaking engagements at 200 meetings, a Salzburg global seminar on shared decision making, co-chairmanship of the Society for Participatory Medicine, testimony on government policy, events in many countries, and a TEDx talk that is in the top half of most viewed ever and has subtitles in 26 languages. Time and again I find myself wondering what people have heard that draws such interest; I wouldn't have been so bold as to predict it. I think it is because, although I understand science-I love it, and I'm alive because of it-I also sense a substantial disconnect between what patients value and what medicine offers. And this raises the question: we all agree medicine should provide value for money, but who gets to say what value is? I'm not anti-doctor I was saved by brilliant science and top notch clinicians. Diagnosed incidentally with stage IV, grade 4 metastatic renal cell carcinoma, I had bone metastases in my femur (which eventually fractured), ulna, and cranium; five metastases in my lungs; and muscle metastases in my thigh and tongue. Yet six months after diagnosis my treatment ended: I've not had a drop of anything since. A superb surgeon removed my kidney and adrenal gland; another repaired my femur (twice), and a skilled oncology team tended me through a difficult and dangerous treatment. Today I am well. My gratitude goes out to every person who worked on development of the drug and the new protocol I received. Thank you to science, and to every clinician whose training and experience led them to be in the world class team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center that saved my life. My family add their thanks. What is value and who provides it? What does my experience tell us about value? To understand a changing industry we must be clear about the elements that constitute value in medicine. Clearly, my team's achievements are valuable. Let's list some: Awareness of status-I had no idea I was sick; I'd been tired and slowly losing weight, but at age 56 neither seemed a problem. I was unaware of my cancer until doctors spotted a shadow in my lung during a routine shoulderx ray examination.
