From the Department of Technology Is Good for Medicine — well, actually, from Mission Safety Services, Edmonton, Alberta — comes this infographic highlighting how medical technology saves lives.
Left mostly unsaid, at least at the top of the graphic, is that information technologies are nearly as important as medical technologies. Left completely unsaid is that sometimes IT can do more harm than good and that medical technology often leads to overtreatment and overtesting, particularly in the U.S.
That said, we present the infographic, courtesy of Mission Safety Services’ Training Coordinator Devin Jollimore.
