We've lost another healthcare giant: Lucian Leape, the father of the modern patient safety movement and a person of remarkable character & integrity. My wife @katiehafner wrote his @nytimes obituary – it rightly highlights both his impact & his courage.
nytimes.com
Despite resistance from the medical establishment, he found systemic ways to reduce errors, paving the way for a global standard. Thousands of lives have been saved.

There are few in this world who were such forces for good as @atulbutte. His dazzling intellect, relentless curiosity, generosity of spirit, boundless charisma, and infinite optimism left a mark on everything he touched and everyone lucky enough to know him. An enormous loss.
