I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Jobs had a rare form of pancreatic cancer, Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors. \u003ca title=\"http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2011/10/06/jobs-death-focuses-attention-on-rare-form-of-pancreatic-cancer/\" href=\"http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2011/10/06/jobs-death-focuses-attention-on-rare-form-of-pancreatic-cancer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal\u003c/a> and \u003ca title=\"http://live.washingtonpost.com/pancreatic-cancer.html\" href=\"http://live.washingtonpost.com/pancreatic-cancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post\u003c/a> both feature solid pieces with additional detail about this disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Cancer Society’s \u003ca title=\"http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/PancreaticCancer/DetailedGuide/pancreatic-cancer-survival-rates\" href=\"http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/PancreaticCancer/DetailedGuide/pancreatic-cancer-survival-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five-year survival rates\u003c/a> for the more frequently diagnosed type of Pancreatic Cancer are bleak. But for those afflicted with the rare type of this cancer Jobs had, survival \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/PancreaticCancer/DetailedGuide/pancreatic-cancer-survival-rates\">rates\u003c/a> are much higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a \u003ca title=\"http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:sm2kJv-xm2EJ:www.cancer.org/AboutUs/DrLensBlog/post/2011/10/05/Steve-Jobs.aspx+american+cancer+society+steve+jobs&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a\" href=\"http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:sm2kJv-xm2EJ:www.cancer.org/AboutUs/DrLensBlog/post/2011/10/05/Steve-Jobs.aspx+american+cancer+society+steve+jobs&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moving obituary\u003c/a>, the American Cancer Society’s Dr. Len Lichtenfeld had a surprising approach. He writes about Steve Jobs as a \u003cem>survivor\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> …his greatness is amplified by what he accomplished under the most difficult of circumstances. For here was a man who had an uncommon cancer that recurred and required a liver transplant. Here was a man who was failing in his health, yet had the fortitude to face every day as a new challenge, to do what he wanted to do, to accomplish successes that had never been accomplished before. Here was a man who embodied the drive and the spirit that so many cancer survivors possess every day of their lives, even when facing the ultimate moment as Steve Jobs faced today.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here was a man living, really living, with cancer. But along with Jobs’ drive came a fabled stubborn streak. When his cancer was diagnosed in 2003, he initially refused the recommended surgery. \u003ca title=\"http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008030510\" href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008030510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Fortune\u003c/em> magazine reported in 2008\u003c/a> that those closest to him were concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> By the standards of medical science, it was an open-and-shut case: There was no serious alternative to surgery. ‘Surgery is the only treatment modality that can result in cure,’ Dr. Jeffrey Norton, chief of surgical oncology at Stanford, wrote in a 2006 medical journal article about this kind of pancreatic cancer.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, The Daily Beast built on the \u003cem>Fortune\u003c/em> report in a \u003ca title=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-dies-his-unorthodox-treatment-for-neuroendocrine-cancer.html\" href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-dies-his-unorthodox-treatment-for-neuroendocrine-cancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lengthy critique of Jobs’ personal treatment decisions.\u003c/a> In her post, Sharon Begley includes everything anyone would want to know about pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, but also makes the case that Jobs’ insistence on directing his own treatment could have worsened his condition and perhaps even shortened his life. Again from the \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008030510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortune piece\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A Buddhist and vegetarian, the Apple CEO was skeptical of mainstream medicine. Jobs decided to employ alternative methods to treat his pancreatic cancer, hoping to avoid the operation through a special diet – a course of action that hasn’t been disclosed until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nine months Jobs pursued this approach, as Apple’s board of directors and executive team secretly agonized over the situation – and whether the company needed to disclose anything about its CEO’s health to investors.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>After the initial surgery, Jobs lived in apparent good health for several years, then in 2009 he received a liver transplant.

For here was a man who had an uncommon cancer that recurred and required a liver transplant. Here was a man who was failing in his health, yet had the fortitude to face every day as a new challenge, to do what he wanted to do, to accomplish successes that had never been accomplished before. Here was a man who embodied the drive and the spirit that so many cancer survivors possess every day of their lives, even when facing the ultimate moment as Steve Jobs faced today.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here was a man living, really living, with cancer. But along with Jobs’ drive came a fabled stubborn streak. When his cancer was diagnosed in 2003, he initially refused the recommended surgery. \u003ca title=\"http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008030510\" href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008030510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Fortune\u003c/em> magazine reported in 2008\u003c/a> that those closest to him were concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> By the standards of medical science, it was an open-and-shut case: There was no serious alternative to surgery. ‘Surgery is the only treatment modality that can result in cure,’ Dr. Jeffrey Norton, chief of surgical oncology at Stanford, wrote in a 2006 medical journal article about this kind of pancreatic cancer.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, The Daily Beast built on the \u003cem>Fortune\u003c/em> report in a \u003ca title=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-dies-his-unorthodox-treatment-for-neuroendocrine-cancer.html\" href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-dies-his-unorthodox-treatment-for-neuroendocrine-cancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lengthy critique of Jobs’ personal treatment decisions.\u003c/a> In her post, Sharon Begley includes everything anyone would want to know about pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, but also makes the case that Jobs’ insistence on directing his own treatment could have worsened his condition and perhaps even shortened his life. Again from the \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/02/news/companies/elkind_jobs.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008030510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortune piece\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A Buddhist and vegetarian, the Apple CEO was skeptical of mainstream medicine. Jobs decided to employ alternative methods to treat his pancreatic cancer, hoping to avoid the operation through a special diet – a course of action that hasn’t been disclosed until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nine months Jobs pursued this approach, as Apple’s board of directors and executive team secretly agonized over the situation – and whether the company needed to disclose anything about its CEO’s health to investors.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>After the initial surgery, Jobs lived in apparent good health for several years, then in 2009 he received a liver transplant. Begley writes, “… removing the liver because it had become riddled with tumors that originated elsewhere [i.e. the pancreas] is rare. For one thing, liver metastases probably meant the cancer is elsewhere, too, such as in the bones or brain. Swapping out a cancer-ridden liver for a new one may therefore buy some time, but not much.” Begley further states the transplant itself could have been “counter-productive.” The regimen of immune-suppressing drugs needed to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ may hinder the body’s ability to fight the cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Like many people all over the country, I have been watching this protest gather strength and grow as more and more of us, more of the 99% demand accountability from the corporations and people who are responsible for the destruction of our economy and devastation of our families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I came to down to observe the protest last night in response to summons from protesters and a notice from the police accusing their encampment of a number of minor infractions, ranging from open flames on a city street or sidewalk to serving food without a permit. I observed and negotiated with police in good faith to keep the peace and allow the encampment to remain, only to hear of a crackdown shortly after I left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not the San Francisco that I know. This is not the San Francisco I love. This City has served as a sanctuary for free speech and assembly for generations, and we must protect that legacy. With our unemployment rate nearing 10%, we have a responsibility to be a sanctuary for the 99%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, last night we witnessed that 99% being detained, arrested, and intimidated with force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My vision is of a true sanctuary city – one that protects our right to free speech and assembly, and one that holds real criminals accountable. This should be a city for the rest of us – for the 99%.

That’s why I am doing everything I can to create jobs, get people back to work and make our families stronger here in San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I support the spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement that calls for peacefully assembling to protest and bring national attention to disparity issues in our country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, protesters are acting within their First Amendment right to free speech and freedom to assemble. While allowing for peaceful protests, we also must ensure that our streets and sidewalks remain safe and accessible for everyone. I will continue to work closely with our Police Chief to ensure San Francisco responds appropriately to these demonstrations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is a city that embraces free speech and freedom to assemble like no other city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Federal Reserve sent out an email today to all employees who work in the Federal Reserve building, the center of the protests. An employee of one of the tenants in that building forwarded us the email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As you are aware, Occupy SF protesters had built an encampment on the public sidewalk outside the Bank’s property along Main, Market and Spear streets. Overnight, the City of San Francisco Police and Public Works departments requested that the protesters dismantle and remove their structures from the public sidewalk and they complied. We understand that the SFPD told the protesters that they could continue to protest on the public sidewalk daily as they wish, but without the encampment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we were informed by the San Francisco Police Department of their plans, Bank management deferred to the City’s judgment and knowledge in handling these situations, as we rely on the expertise of the Police in terms of what is legally permitted with respect to such gatherings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employee safety is our biggest concern and we will continue to carefully monitor future protests to ensure your safety as well as the integrity of our property and our building. We will continue to keep you informed as the situation warrants, and encourage you to use the back entrance when entering and leaving the building. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So, what’s the protesting about?

According to Adbusters, a primary protest organizer, the central demand of the protest is that President Obama “ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington”.Liberal commentator Michael Moore had suggested that this is not like any other protest but this protest represents a variety of demands with a common statement about government corruption and the excessive influence of big business and the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans on U.S. laws and policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peripheral demands such as raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on corporations, ending corporate welfare, support for trade unionism, and protecting Medicare and Social Security in their traditional forms are expressed by some participants. Occupy Maine is asking for an investment in public transportation infrastructure and the return home of Maine National Guardsmen from wars overseas. Some protesters are calling for an audit or the elimination of the Federal Reserve.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is footage of the protest from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.livestream.com/occupyfdsf\">OccupySF LiveStream channel\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http://cdn.livestream.com/embed/occupyfdsf?layout=4&color=0xe7e7e7&autoPlay=false&mute=false&iconColorOver=0x888888&iconColor=0x777777&allowchat=true&height=295&width=480\" style=\"border:0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=occupysf\">Occupy SF photos\u003c/a> (Flickr)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://articles.cnn.com/2011-10-05/politics/politics_occupy-wall-street_1_protests-in-other-cities-protestors-demonstrations?_s=PM:POLITICS\">Wall Street protests grow after unions’ endorsement\u003c/a> (CNN)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-biden-wallstreet-20111006,0,5736202.story\">Biden likens Occupy Wall Street to tea party, blasts BofA\u003c/a> (LA Times)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/ombudsman/2011/09/26/140815394/newsworthy-determining-the-importance-of-protests-on-wall-street\">Newsworthy?

Here’s his statement, posted on \u003ca href=\"http://sfist.com/2011/10/06/john_avalos_releases_statement_on_o.php\">SFist\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Last night I gathered in solidarity with the protesters Occupying San Francisco. Like many people all over the country, I have been watching this protest gather strength and grow as more and more of us, more of the 99% demand accountability from the corporations and people who are responsible for the destruction of our economy and devastation of our families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I came to down to observe the protest last night in response to summons from protesters and a notice from the police accusing their encampment of a number of minor infractions, ranging from open flames on a city street or sidewalk to serving food without a permit. I observed and negotiated with police in good faith to keep the peace and allow the encampment to remain, only to hear of a crackdown shortly after I left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not the San Francisco that I know. This is not the San Francisco I love. This City has served as a sanctuary for free speech and assembly for generations, and we must protect that legacy. With our unemployment rate nearing 10%, we have a responsibility to be a sanctuary for the 99%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, last night we witnessed that 99% being detained, arrested, and intimidated with force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My vision is of a true sanctuary city – one that protects our right to free speech and assembly, and one that holds real criminals accountable. This should be a city for the rest of us – for the 99%. I stand with Occupy SF.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 2:50 p.m.\u003c/em> Not to be outdone, Ed Lee has released a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I understand and sympathize with the anxiety and frustration felt by so many in our country caused by a lingering recession and joblessness. That’s why I am doing everything I can to create jobs, get people back to work and make our families stronger here in San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I support the spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement that calls for peacefully assembling to protest and bring national attention to disparity issues in our country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, protesters are acting within their First Amendment right to free speech and freedom to assemble. While allowing for peaceful protests, we also must ensure that our streets and sidewalks remain safe and accessible for everyone. I will continue to work closely with our Police Chief to ensure San Francisco responds appropriately to these demonstrations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is a city that embraces free speech and freedom to assemble like no other city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Federal Reserve sent out an email today to all employees who work in the Federal Reserve building, the center of the protests. An employee of one of the tenants in that building forwarded us the email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As you are aware, Occupy SF protesters had built an encampment on the public sidewalk outside the Bank’s property along Main, Market and Spear streets. Overnight, the City of San Francisco Police and Public Works departments requested that the protesters dismantle and remove their structures from the public sidewalk and they complied. We understand that the SFPD told the protesters that they could continue to protest on the public sidewalk daily as they wish, but without the encampment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we were informed by the San Francisco Police Department of their plans, Bank management deferred to the City’s judgment and knowledge in handling these situations, as we rely on the expertise of the Police in terms of what is legally permitted with respect to such gatherings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employee safety is our biggest concern and we will continue to carefully monitor future protests to ensure your safety as well as the integrity of our property and our building. We will continue to keep you informed as the situation warrants, and encourage you to use the back entrance when entering and leaving the building. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So, what’s the protesting about? Here’s \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street#Background\">Wikipedia’s take\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Perceptions vary as to the specific goals of the movement. According to Adbusters, a primary protest organizer, the central demand of the protest is that President Obama “ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington”.Liberal commentator Michael Moore had suggested that this is not like any other protest but this protest represents a variety of demands with a common statement about government corruption and the excessive influence of big business and the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans on U.S. laws and policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peripheral demands such as raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on corporations, ending corporate welfare, support for trade unionism, and protecting Medicare and Social Security in their traditional forms are expressed by some participants. Occupy Maine is asking for an investment in public transportation infrastructure and the return home of Maine National Guardsmen from wars overseas. Some protesters are calling for an audit or the elimination of the Federal Reserve.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here is footage of the protest from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.livestream.com/occupyfdsf\">OccupySF LiveStream channel\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http://cdn.livestream.com/embed/occupyfdsf?layout=4&color=0xe7e7e7&autoPlay=false&mute=false&iconColorOver=0x888888&iconColor=0x777777&allowchat=true&height=295&width=480\" style=\"border:0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Across the Bay Area and around the world, fans and admirers are leaving flowers, notes and even iPhones with his picture, in a growing memorial befitting a head of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his state, this state, was his domain. And his place, the Bay Area, was his workshop, his playground and his world stage. What is it about our region that fed the man who taught the world to cheer for a computer? Let’s talk about that with NPR’s digital culture correspondent, Laura Sydell. Laura, good morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura Sydell:\u003c/strong> Good morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> Steve Jobs, the person he was, the person he became, never really could’ve happened anywhere else but here, could it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> I don’t think so. I mean, the thing about Steve Jobs, you have to remember, he’s really, he was an old hippie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> An old hippie?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> An old hippie, yeah. He grew up in an era here, look at the pictures of him and Wozniak, Steve Wozniak, in the early era. Steve Wozniak’s hair is below his shoulders, and they look kind of scruffy. He went off to India. He did LSD. He did all those things that, at a certain moment in time, everybody in the Bay Area was doing, this was the summer of love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also had this, he was infused with this feeling of wanting to change the world. And there’s that famous quote from which he recruited \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/john-sculley-on-steve-jobs-10062011.html\">John Sculley\u003c/a>, from Coca-Cola. And he said, “you want to sell sugar water for your entire life, or do you want to change the world?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think that was very particular to the Bay Area. And we still have a lot of that feeling here, in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> If we encountered Jobs back in the 70s, who would we have seen? A very different person than who we had been seeing lately in product unveilings and what not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> Yes and no. I mean yes, he had the bow tie, I guess at a certain point, and he would go to do that. But the other interesting thing about him is, I don’t think you entirely would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He always was this incredible salesman, this incredible speaker, he had a passion — that I think you found throughout his life — for these products. I don’t think that changed significantly. Plus, he never dressed up. He never became a conformist. He’d get on stage, and he’d wear the jeans and the black t-shirt — the black turtleneck. And he kinda did it his own way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> I think perhaps the most dressed up I ever saw him was when he unveiled the first Macintosh in 1984. Here’s a bit of how he described that computer, with the features that sounded pretty high-tech back then:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject width=\"420\" height=\"315\">\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4KkENSYkMgs#t=1m13s\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cembed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4KkENSYkMgs#t=1m13s\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steve Jobs:\u003c/strong> With its radical ease-of-use, mouse, windows, icons, pull-down menus, point, click cut and paste. We’ve managed a way to pull that down to a $2,499 price point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Macintosh, to accomplish this, uses a 68,000 microprocessor, the same 32-bit microprocessor that’s used in Lisa. It’s necessary for Lisa technology, and it eats 8088s for breakfast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> Only $2,500. Laura, do people — when they say they want to be the next Steve Jobs — when they look at what he did, when they look at his legacy in the Bay Area, do they really get what that means? What are they missing about what the Bay Area did for him, that maybe it’s not doing for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> I think he was of a moment. I think actually many of the people who were part of the early computer movement were a part of that moment. In particular to Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a guy who went to venture capitalists meetings, threw his feet up on the table, was kinda smelly, [laughs] and I think there is a lot of conformism now, in a way that there was not. And I think people are much more interested in making a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, Steve Jobs made a lot of money, but he was not known to be particularly extravagant. He didn’t own five houses. He didn’t go on extravagant vacations, and you didn’t hear about his private jet. And I don’t think you really see that here, now.\u003cbr>\nA lot of people have come in from the outside, there has been an influx of money and people from elsewhere, so. It isn’t necessarily quite the same sensibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 233px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" \" title=\"Steve Jobs introduces colorful iMacs in 1999\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.org/2011/10/06/cropJobsiMacs99100611.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Jobs introduces colorful iMacs in 1999\" width=\"233\" height=\"193\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Jobs introduces new colors to the popular iMacs on January 5, 1999 in San Francisco.

That’s really Bay Area-specific.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> It is. I mean, you know, the rainbow flag, which is big here for lesbian and gay rights, but also, there’s a rainbow on the early Macs, right? I think if you look at the colors, the whole thing, it really is very Northern California, the sensibility. You know, I still see people around here wearing tie dye. And I feel like a lot of that early design was infused with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also an area where we have a lot of industrial deginers. And he really took advantage of that. If anything, it was here and then it, even grew, after Apple came here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> Quick question i wanted to ask you about pixar. he could’ve moved that to hollywood, closer to Disney in Burbank, but he kept it in Emeryville. What about that? Very briefly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> Once again, I think it was a little bit of rebellion. It was sort of a snub to Disney, in some way, that he set it up here, that he did his own thing here. He also gave the values of that company, I mean I hear it’s a great place to work. It was one of those companies early on that had all the right perks and wonderful and creative. And again, non-conformist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> We’ve been speaking with NPR correspondent Laura Sydell.

But he was also the quintessential California Dreamer – a Bay Area born counter culture icon who reshaped the whole idea of the Silicon Valley executive. Peter Jon Shuler reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the details of the story are well known. Steve Jobs, the young entrepreneur who, with his friend Steve Wozniak, started a business in his garage that made them both legends. But he was also a distinct product of the time and place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of dads on my street who worked at Lockheed and were engineers, so I got mentored by a couple of the dads,” says Bill Fernandez. Fernandez introduced the two Steves. He met Jobs at Cupertino Junior High School. Woz was his neighbor, and about four years their senior. Nevertheless, Fernandez thought the two just might hit it off. He says even as a teenager, Jobs was already showing qualities that would serve him later in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was clear at least in high school that he had a very good business sense.

Across the Bay Area and around the world, fans and admirers are leaving flowers, notes and even iPhones with his picture, in a growing memorial befitting a head of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his state, this state, was his domain. And his place, the Bay Area, was his workshop, his playground and his world stage. What is it about our region that fed the man who taught the world to cheer for a computer? Let’s talk about that with NPR’s digital culture correspondent, Laura Sydell. Laura, good morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Laura Sydell:\u003c/strong> Good morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> Steve Jobs, the person he was, the person he became, never really could’ve happened anywhere else but here, could it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> I don’t think so. I mean, the thing about Steve Jobs, you have to remember, he’s really, he was an old hippie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> An old hippie?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> An old hippie, yeah. He grew up in an era here, look at the pictures of him and Wozniak, Steve Wozniak, in the early era. Steve Wozniak’s hair is below his shoulders, and they look kind of scruffy. He went off to India. He did LSD. He did all those things that, at a certain moment in time, everybody in the Bay Area was doing, this was the summer of love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also had this, he was infused with this feeling of wanting to change the world. And there’s that famous quote from which he recruited \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/john-sculley-on-steve-jobs-10062011.html\">John Sculley\u003c/a>, from Coca-Cola. And he said, “you want to sell sugar water for your entire life, or do you want to change the world?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think that was very particular to the Bay Area. And we still have a lot of that feeling here, in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> If we encountered Jobs back in the 70s, who would we have seen? A very different person than who we had been seeing lately in product unveilings and what not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> Yes and no. I mean yes, he had the bow tie, I guess at a certain point, and he would go to do that. But the other interesting thing about him is, I don’t think you entirely would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He always was this incredible salesman, this incredible speaker, he had a passion — that I think you found throughout his life — for these products. I don’t think that changed significantly. Plus, he never dressed up. He never became a conformist. He’d get on stage, and he’d wear the jeans and the black t-shirt — the black turtleneck. And he kinda did it his own way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> I think perhaps the most dressed up I ever saw him was when he unveiled the first Macintosh in 1984. Here’s a bit of how he described that computer, with the features that sounded pretty high-tech back then:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject width=\"420\" height=\"315\">\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4KkENSYkMgs#t=1m13s\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cembed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4KkENSYkMgs#t=1m13s\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steve Jobs:\u003c/strong> With its radical ease-of-use, mouse, windows, icons, pull-down menus, point, click cut and paste. We’ve managed a way to pull that down to a $2,499 price point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Macintosh, to accomplish this, uses a 68,000 microprocessor, the same 32-bit microprocessor that’s used in Lisa. It’s necessary for Lisa technology, and it eats 8088s for breakfast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> Only $2,500. Laura, do people — when they say they want to be the next Steve Jobs — when they look at what he did, when they look at his legacy in the Bay Area, do they really get what that means? What are they missing about what the Bay Area did for him, that maybe it’s not doing for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> I think he was of a moment. I think actually many of the people who were part of the early computer movement were a part of that moment. In particular to Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a guy who went to venture capitalists meetings, threw his feet up on the table, was kinda smelly, [laughs] and I think there is a lot of conformism now, in a way that there was not. And I think people are much more interested in making a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, Steve Jobs made a lot of money, but he was not known to be particularly extravagant. He didn’t own five houses. He didn’t go on extravagant vacations, and you didn’t hear about his private jet. And I don’t think you really see that here, now.\u003cbr>\nA lot of people have come in from the outside, there has been an influx of money and people from elsewhere, so. It isn’t necessarily quite the same sensibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 233px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" \" title=\"Steve Jobs introduces colorful iMacs in 1999\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.org/2011/10/06/cropJobsiMacs99100611.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Jobs introduces colorful iMacs in 1999\" width=\"233\" height=\"193\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Jobs introduces new colors to the popular iMacs on January 5, 1999 in San Francisco.

Mabanglo/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> There’s also a sensibility that relates to design; that sense of industrial design, that smooth, whether it’s today’s brushed aluminum look, or those, multi-flavored iMacs when he first unveiled them. That’s really Bay Area-specific.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> It is. I mean, you know, the rainbow flag, which is big here for lesbian and gay rights, but also, there’s a rainbow on the early Macs, right? I think if you look at the colors, the whole thing, it really is very Northern California, the sensibility. You know, I still see people around here wearing tie dye. And I feel like a lot of that early design was infused with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also an area where we have a lot of industrial deginers. And he really took advantage of that. If anything, it was here and then it, even grew, after Apple came here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> Quick question i wanted to ask you about pixar. he could’ve moved that to hollywood, closer to Disney in Burbank, but he kept it in Emeryville. What about that? Very briefly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydell:\u003c/strong> Once again, I think it was a little bit of rebellion. It was sort of a snub to Disney, in some way, that he set it up here, that he did his own thing here. He also gave the values of that company, I mean I hear it’s a great place to work. It was one of those companies early on that had all the right perks and wonderful and creative. And again, non-conformist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson:\u003c/strong> We’ve been speaking with NPR correspondent Laura Sydell.

But he was also the quintessential California Dreamer – a Bay Area born counter culture icon who reshaped the whole idea of the Silicon Valley executive. Peter Jon Shuler reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the details of the story are well known. Steve Jobs, the young entrepreneur who, with his friend Steve Wozniak, started a business in his garage that made them both legends. But he was also a distinct product of the time and place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of dads on my street who worked at Lockheed and were engineers, so I got mentored by a couple of the dads,” says Bill Fernandez. Fernandez introduced the two Steves. He met Jobs at Cupertino Junior High School. Woz was his neighbor, and about four years their senior. Nevertheless, Fernandez thought the two just might hit it off. He says even as a teenager, Jobs was already showing qualities that would serve him later in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was clear at least in high school that he had a very good business sense. I remember that he ended with pieces of equipment like a nice stereo or nice open reel tape deck that there’s no way I could have afforded or gotten and I’d say how did you get this? And he’d say I bought this at a garage sale for five bucks and fixed the headphone jack and now it works perfectly. Or I did some haggling and I ended up with this great tape deck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was also Steve Jobs, the college dropout …who experimented with psychedelic drugs, a variety of Eastern religions and dietary regimens …and who backpacked through India in search of spiritual enlightenment. College pal Daniel Kottke was a fellow seeker during many of those experiences. He says they first bonded over their mutual interest in eastern thought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Be Here Now,” “Autobiography of a Yogi,” “Ramakrishna and His Disciples,” “Cosmic Consciousness” by Bucke, says Kottke. “I think Steve turned me onto that one.

(AP) — Apple Inc. unveiled a faster, more powerful iPhone on Tuesday in its first major product event in years without Steve Jobs presiding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New CEO Tim Cook led the show after Jobs, who has been battling health problems, resigned from the post in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook, wearing a navy blue button-down shirt and jeans, opened by calling his nearly 14-year tenure at Apple “the privilege of a lifetime.” Those in the audience clapped as he entered, but the reaction seemed more muted than what Jobs had recently received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook said the latest iPhone, which came out in June 2010, sold more quickly than previous models, but the iPhone still has just 5 percent of the worldwide handset market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple is hoping to grow that with a new model. The new iPhone 4S has an improved camera with a higher-resolution sensor. The processor is faster, which helps run smoother, more realistic action games. It’s also a “world phone,” which means that Verizon iPhones will be able to useable overseas, just as AT&T iPhones already are. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple is including a “personal assistant” application called Siri, which responds to spoken questions and commands such as “Do I need an umbrella today?” It’s an advanced version of speech-recognition apps found on other phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new iPhone also comes with new mobile software, iOS 5, that includes such features as the ability to sync content wirelessly, without having to plug the device to a Mac or Windows machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IOS 5 will also be available on Oct. 12 for existing devices — the iPhone 4 and 3GS, both iPad models and later versions of the iPod Touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple said Oct. 12 will also mark the launch of its new iCloud service, which will store content such as music, documents, apps and photos on Apple’s servers and let people access them wirelessly on numerous devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple also touted the popularity of its products and unveiled a new line of iPods, including a Nano model with a multi-touch display that promises to be easier to navigate.

(AP) — Apple Inc. unveiled a faster, more powerful iPhone on Tuesday in its first major product event in years without Steve Jobs presiding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New CEO Tim Cook led the show after Jobs, who has been battling health problems, resigned from the post in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook, wearing a navy blue button-down shirt and jeans, opened by calling his nearly 14-year tenure at Apple “the privilege of a lifetime.” Those in the audience clapped as he entered, but the reaction seemed more muted than what Jobs had recently received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook said the latest iPhone, which came out in June 2010, sold more quickly than previous models, but the iPhone still has just 5 percent of the worldwide handset market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple is hoping to grow that with a new model. The new iPhone 4S has an improved camera with a higher-resolution sensor. The processor is faster, which helps run smoother, more realistic action games. It’s also a “world phone,” which means that Verizon iPhones will be able to useable overseas, just as AT&T iPhones already are. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple is including a “personal assistant” application called Siri, which responds to spoken questions and commands such as “Do I need an umbrella today?” It’s an advanced version of speech-recognition apps found on other phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new iPhone also comes with new mobile software, iOS 5, that includes such features as the ability to sync content wirelessly, without having to plug the device to a Mac or Windows machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IOS 5 will also be available on Oct. 12 for existing devices — the iPhone 4 and 3GS, both iPad models and later versions of the iPod Touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple said Oct. 12 will also mark the launch of its new iCloud service, which will store content such as music, documents, apps and photos on Apple’s servers and let people access them wirelessly on numerous devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple also touted the popularity of its products and unveiled a new line of iPods, including a Nano model with a multi-touch display that promises to be easier to navigate. Apple made no mention of its Classic model, which many people had speculated the company might discontinue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event took place in Apple’s Town Hall room, where the first iPod was launched a decade ago.

Or go back to writing checks,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debit card fee isn’t the only unwelcome change for checking account customers are seeing either. The banking industry has been raising fees and scaling back on rewards programs as they adjust to new regulations that will limit traditional revenue sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting Oct. 1, a regulation will cap the fees that banks can collect from merchants whenever customers swipe their debit cards. Those fees generated $19 billion in revenue for banks in 2009, according to the Nilson Report, which tracks the payments industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no similar cap on the fees that banks can collect from merchants when customers use their credit cards, however. That means banks may increasingly encourage customers to reach for their credit cards, reversing a trend toward debit card usage in the past several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An increasing reliance on credit cards would be particularly beneficial for Bank of America, which is a major credit card issuer, notes Bart Narter, a banking analyst with Celent, a consulting firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s become a more profitable business, at least in relation to debit cards,” Narter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, an Associated Press-GfK poll found that two-thirds of consumers use debit cards more frequently than credit cards. But when asked how they would react if they were charged a $3 monthly debit card fee, 61 percent said they’d find another way to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the fee were $5, 66 percent said they would also change their payment method.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bank of America’s debit card fee will be rolled out in stages starting with select states in early 2012. The company would not say which states would be affected first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bank of America shares rose 9 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $6.25 in afternoon trading.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This study provides some of the first analytical evidence on the effects of health care strikes on patients, and suggests that hospitals functioning during nurses’ strikes are doing so at a lower quality of patient care. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, KQED’s Mina Kim on Monday spoke with Dr. Joanne Spetz, a health care economist with UCSF, about this research. Here’s an edited transcript of the interview:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You analyzed a report that asked the question, “do strikes kill?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a paper that was released by the National Bureau of Economic Research; the two professors who worked on that are top-notch scholars. The quality of the research is excellent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They found that there is a significantly higher risk of mortality in a hospital during a strike and that patients admitted during a strike were more likely to be admitted again later. Which is often a sign that the care during the initial hospitalization was inadequate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why might that be? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I talked to Professor Gruber about that not long ago. The paper concluded that issues arise that might compromise some of the standards of safety due to the uncertainty of having traveling or temp nurses filling in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that traveling nurses cannot provide excellent care; any of those nurses who fill in during strikes are top-notch clinicians. But they’re working in an unfamiliar setting, they often have never been in that hospital before, they don’t know which doctors to ask about what. They don’t’ necessarily know where every single supply is kept. They might not understand the computerized medical record system well, or it might be one they’ve never worked with before. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of things that are very different across every single hospital, and even across the units within the hospital that effect how a nurse is able to perform his or her job. So when you have temporary staff filling in during a strike, of course there’s more uncertainty for them in the work that they’re doing. I think the evidence of this paper is that very well may increase the level of risk faced by patients. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The nurses union is pointing at the hospital as responsible for the death. In situations where a death occurs and it is linked to a strike and the factors that the report points to, who’s responsible?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, from a legal perspective, the hospital as well as the particular nurse in question will probably be held responsible. But from a broader perspective, there’s plenty of blame to lay. For a union to engage in a strike, they must essentially be saying that the patient risk that’s higher during that strike is worth it for some gains they believe they will receive in the future. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now maybe in this case the union believes the working conditions are unsafe enough for patients that it’s worth taking that risk over a one-day strike in order to protect more patients in the long-term. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another possibility is that during a strike, the patients who are in the hospital are the most severely ill, who absolutely have to be there. Usually, all of the elective surgeries and all the things that can be postponed are typically delayed until after the strike. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you have a patient population at higher risk simply because they’re sicker. You put the two together and you end up with Dr Gruber’s finding of a higher mortality rate and a higher re-admission rate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would you like people to take away from this incident?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adverse events like this occur more frequently at hospitals than anyone wants. The fact that it occurred during a strike and therefore has become a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/entry/rns-call-on-sutter-to-end-lockout-ask-state-to-investigate-safety-violation/\">public relations issue\u003c/a> for both sides draws attention to underlying problems with respect to quality of care with the difficulty of consistently administering medication safely day after day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hospital care is a difficult business and it entails a certain amount of risk. For patients, certainly you want to be more cautious about going into a hospital if you don’t need to, if there is a labor issue or a strike that’s pending. But there should be broader attention to patient safety issues in general across all hospitals, not just these hospitals affected by the strike.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Evidence From New York State.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://econ-www.mit.edu/files/6746\">read the full paper here\u003c/a> (pdf); here’s an \u003ca href=\"http://www.nber.org/papers/w15855\">abstract\u003c/a>, which highlights the following conclusions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Controlling for hospital specific heterogeneity, patient demographics and disease severity, the results show that nurses’ strikes increase in-hospital mortality by 19.4% and 30-day readmission by 6.5% for patients admitted during a strike, with little change in patient demographics, disease severity or treatment intensity. This study provides some of the first analytical evidence on the effects of health care strikes on patients, and suggests that hospitals functioning during nurses’ strikes are doing so at a lower quality of patient care. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here’s an edited transcript of the interview:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You analyzed a report that asked the question, “do strikes kill?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a paper that was released by the National Bureau of Economic Research; the two professors who worked on that are top-notch scholars. The quality of the research is excellent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They found that there is a significantly higher risk of mortality in a hospital during a strike and that patients admitted during a strike were more likely to be admitted again later. Which is often a sign that the care during the initial hospitalization was inadequate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why might that be? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I talked to Professor Gruber about that not long ago. The paper concluded that issues arise that might compromise some of the standards of safety due to the uncertainty of having traveling or temp nurses filling in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that traveling nurses cannot provide excellent care; any of those nurses who fill in during strikes are top-notch clinicians. But they’re working in an unfamiliar setting, they often have never been in that hospital before, they don’t know which doctors to ask about what. They don’t’ necessarily know where every single supply is kept. They might not understand the computerized medical record system well, or it might be one they’ve never worked with before. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of things that are very different across every single hospital, and even across the units within the hospital that effect how a nurse is able to perform his or her job. So when you have temporary staff filling in during a strike, of course there’s more uncertainty for them in the work that they’re doing. I think the evidence of this paper is that very well may increase the level of risk faced by patients. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The nurses union is pointing at the hospital as responsible for the death. In situations where a death occurs and it is linked to a strike and the factors that the report points to, who’s responsible?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, from a legal perspective, the hospital as well as the particular nurse in question will probably be held responsible. But from a broader perspective, there’s plenty of blame to lay. For a union to engage in a strike, they must essentially be saying that the patient risk that’s higher during that strike is worth it for some gains they believe they will receive in the future. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now maybe in this case the union believes the working conditions are unsafe enough for patients that it’s worth taking that risk over a one-day strike in order to protect more patients in the long-term. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another possibility is that during a strike, the patients who are in the hospital are the most severely ill, who absolutely have to be there. Usually, all of the elective surgeries and all the things that can be postponed are typically delayed until after the strike. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you have a patient population at higher risk simply because they’re sicker. You put the two together and you end up with Dr Gruber’s finding of a higher mortality rate and a higher re-admission rate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would you like people to take away from this incident?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adverse events like this occur more frequently at hospitals than anyone wants. The fact that it occurred during a strike and therefore has become a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/entry/rns-call-on-sutter-to-end-lockout-ask-state-to-investigate-safety-violation/\">public relations issue\u003c/a> for both sides draws attention to underlying problems with respect to quality of care with the difficulty of consistently administering medication safely day after day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hospital care is a difficult business and it entails a certain amount of risk. For patients, certainly you want to be more cautious about going into a hospital if you don’t need to, if there is a labor issue or a strike that’s pending. But there should be broader attention to patient safety issues in general across all hospitals, not just these hospitals affected by the strike.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
