What I am is a doctor of internal medicine who became passionately interested in this topic about 10 years ago when a patient asked me a question.

And as a physician and a surgeon, I can confidently tell my patients that if you had to pick a sense to lose, we are the furthest along medically and surgically with hearing.

Imagine what your life would be like if I were to stroke it with this feather, but your brain was telling you that this is what you are feeling and that is the experience of my patients with chronic pain.

So I am a surgeon who studies creativity, and I have never had a patient tell me that I really want you to be creative during surgery, and so I guess there's a little bit of irony to it.

But now that we're switching to merging medical data, making it available electronically, we can crowd source that information, and now as a physician, I can access my patients' data from wherever I am just through my mobile device.
