Interesting similarity, don’t you think?

I finally got around to digging into the article on bar code medication administration (BCMA) in the most recent issue of the NEJM. It’s and interesting article that has already receiving a lot of press. It will probably be tossed around for months.

One thing I found amusing in the article was figure 1 on page 1706 (bottom image). I’ve had a similar visual on one of my office whiteboards (top image) for nearly a year. I like being on the same page with intelligent people.

    Aw, why’d you have to go and burst my bubble. I’ve been patting myself on the back all week.

    Who’s Bates? :O
