...motivation for doctors to reduce such errors: Insurers typically reimburse medical providers according to the number of patients they see, rather than the quality of care they deliver. It's a payment structure riddled with problems. "Under the status quo, doctors get paid if they make a mistake," says Dr. Richard Neubauer, chief of internal medicine at Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage and a member of the American College of Physicians' ethics committee. "Then they get paid a second time for correcting that error. It makes very little sense...
...flew back to Boston the next day, disappointed but distracted by the final exams and papers on my mind. In the middle of writing a paper, I took a break and went down to the Lowell House dining hall. One of the House masters, Reverend Dr. Dorothy Austin, nervously asked what I thought of the campaign.

...several points in recent years, Wright has openly contemplated his retirement. But the rift between Wright and Moss was unexpected. In early 2006, Wright announced that Moss would be his successor. It was an interesting choice, considering Moss's pedigree: His parents were civil rights movement activists married by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and his father is a prominent Cleveland minister. Educated at Morehouse and Yale, Moss had since 1997 led an Augusta, Ga., congregation, boosting its membership from 125 to some 2,100. In a January 2007 interview with Trumpet, a Trinity-affiliated magazine, Wright recalled introducing Moss...
