Welcome to a Thursday edition of Progress Report.It’s chaotic here in New York City, where the UN is in session, people are climbing out of sewers, a Nor’easter is on the way, and most importantly, my son just turned four years old. Meanwhile, I’m slowly on the mend from my surgery, which I really only mention because it provides a nice little narrative framework for tonight’s story about healthcare and power.I’ve temporarily paused all paid subscriptions to Progress Report until I am healthy an

Welcome to a Tuesday edition of Progress Report.It’s been eleven days since my last newsletter, which should be a good indicator of how my recovery from this latest open-heart surgery is going (in a word, it’s been a slog).

Welcome to a Tuesday edition of Progress Report.My wife and I returned to New York last night after two weeks in Cleveland, where I underwent my third open-heart surgery in three years and seventh overall. One of the (more minor) inconveniences created by this ongoing cardiac saga has been the way I’ve been forced to write about it, because I’m not talented enough to whip up anything that would be more visceral than just repeatedly stating the raw number of times they’ve buzz-sawed open my chest

The Cleveland Clinic is one of the best aortic hospitals in the world, but a seventh open-heart surgery seems to be a rare event even here. I’m not sure whether it makes me a medical marvel, but I’m happy to report that I underwent my latest open-heart surgery on Wednesday and am now on the mend. It’ll be a slow process — my chest and back are killing me, they’ve got to deal with my blood pressure, I’m connected to all kinds of movement-restricting wires and tubes, and I’ll probably need physica
