    I have been involved in health activism since my second bout with breast cancer in 2006 and recently served on a panel at E-Pharma Summit West. Having grown up in the early days of Hewlett-Packard I always had a deep affection for Stanford (even got married in the chapel), I am thrilled to see what you are planning with Medicine X. If there is any way that I can collaborate with your project I would be happy to help.
    Sincerely,
    Jamie Inman, MA, LMFT

    Larry,

    What an incredible group! The addition of Lucien – @Zorg20 – makes this the best advisory panel I’ve seen in some time.

    Best of luck to you. The conference will be incredible.

    I just read the great news that Regina Holliday (featuring The Victim of the Game, my Jacket that is honored to be the 1st European member of «The Walking Gallery») will develop the artwork for Medicine X!! Stanford could not select a better artist for Medicine X!!
    Then I went through the website to see what’s new and was nicely surprised to discover that current and previous members of the #doctors20 European conference participate also in #medx! and oh! there is also a terrific epatient panel this year, with most of whom I am already connected online!
    Dr. Larry Chu I fully agree with “I really believe it is also about engagement and interaction between epatients and researchers, technologists, health care providers and all other stakeholders. How might we leverage the patient voice to ignite change in health care? How can Stanford Medicine X help make it happen?”
    I just come back from SABCS-the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, the global breast cancer symposium that took place last week in San Antonio, Texas. I appreciate to have been honored with a scholarship to attend. We were there almost 300 patient advocates but also not there. We were allowed to attend not to have a seat in the speakers panel, when very important news were made public about new treatments, when key issues with existing therapies and medical procedures were presented….
    Congratulations Dr. Larry Chu! I am sure #medx will be a great conference and look forward to cooperate and meet you in person in May at #doctors20.
