It would be great to have a Hackers Guide to Healthcare. What's important, what the numbers mean, etc. I understand that certain tests (e.g. PSA) have false positives, but if we ever want to crawl out of the Dark Ages, we need to make some forward progress. Wearables, "tricorders", and early detection blood tests should be able to offer us something better in our lifetimes.
