Health care has become a very dynamic, often chaotic business, filled with opposing stressors that threaten its very existence. Paul Van Riper, USMC Retired Lt. General opines that we need "decisive, rapid-fire decisions under conditions of high pressure and with limited information."

Unfortunately, in the course of career advancement and education, most successful people learn to be competitive with their peers and protective of their reputations.
