Andy Grove and Health

Comment First

What’s the difference beteen Lazy Man and Health and Andy Grove and Health? Andy Grove is not lazy. If you are familiar with him, you know him as the co-founder of Intel. According to this Wired article, he’s turning his attention to health care.

It’s a very wise plan. When I worked as a pharmacy technician in 1996-1998, I was completely floored at all the inefficiencies. I’m sure things have changed. However, at the time it shocked me that I could use e-mail college to chat with a friend, but doctors were faxing barely legible subscriptions to the pharmacy. The pharmacists would dispense the medication with little computer aid to check interactions. They then would send the medications up to the patients’ floor where another factor of human error, nurses was put into play. (Note: My fiancee is a pharmacist and my mom a nurse, so I love these people and they do important jobs. I just believe it’s possible to come up with a better system. In fact today there better systems are already in place.

With Andy Grove serious about entering the health field, there’s a chance that health care and technology will really advance. This is just another reason why Lazy Man and Money is an investor in both technology and health care sectors of the stock market.
