This book is so good I don’t know where to start. Just read it. (There’s an introductory 20% discount on the e-book below.)

“Responsive design” as a metaphor for patient capacity (PatientCritical podcast)
I was recently interviewed by PJ Mierau, founder of the PatientCritical coop in Canada, for his podcast. PJ came up with a new metaphor for how patients handle varying amounts of information, when their abilities or their capacity (due to illness) may vary: it’s a Web principle called “responsive design.” Below are some notes on that, and on patient co-ops.
