From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Actually, Henry Ford's gift was to find people who knew the answers & use them to build his solutions. He is not a good analogy for us because we are more like the people he controlled. He gave himself the freedom that we refuse to give ourselves.
Personally I like the idea of anything that develops MRS' into pro's who will control & direct the future of Medical Imaging & Therapy as an independent profession. Unfortunately being an MBA or an auto-didact doesn't matter because that's the one thing we do not, as a rule, do. Making yourself useful as someone elses tool isn't the same thing. This dinosaur is fine thank you. But like the dinosaurs I am becoming extinct because my ecosystem (paradigm) is failing while the parasites around me are adapting & feeding off it.
