While I lived in Richmond, Virginia from 1987 to 1994, one could still find some people who referred to the US Civil War as the "recent unpleasantness." Similarly, we have noted the "anechoic effect," how cases involving deficient ethics, poor leadership, and flawed governance in health care occurs produce few echoes.

Many important cases and issues that have been discussed on Health Care Renewal have never appeared in medical or health care journals.
