3/Meticulousness
4/Principled decision-making

6/Talking up
7/The API metaphor

I'd like to share some reflections on the death of a patient. I’ve thought about her a lot.
She gave me explicit consent to tweet the details of her case, about four hours before she died. Her hope was that someone might benefit from her experience.
