Thank you for sharing your personal story in the earlier blog.  Best wishes to your wife's recovery.  

In our busy life, we often forget to put our health as top priority.  I'm from Toronto, Canada and as a summer student (many years back), have volunteered in one of the city's General Hospital's health records department.  My job was to file patients' health records stored in a room full of paper files and folders, organized in alphabetical order. The files and folders would pile up in carts and we'd filed them away throughout the day.

It is now great to see that technologies such as MSFT HealthVault are helping to modernize health care.  It seems Canadian government is also investing in E-Health - read about the http://www.ehealthontario.on.ca/about/index.asp.  

Hope healthcare system would become more efficient worldwide and affordable to everyone.
