What a waste of human ressources. While I agree the logical and lofty goal would be to create a "Linux Medical Taskforce" I also know that doing so will not achieve anything tangible. If you want to make a difference for healthcare work with a group of doctors and technically help them solve local medical needs. Set them up with access to evidence based clinical resources. Maybe help vaccinate a few thousand children in a rural area. I think your FreeDiams prescriber is a perfect example. Work on making it the best-of-breed FLOSS drug information database. *That* would make a huge difference. Everywhere. Today.
