In this picture a patient is in a bed that is obviously a hospital bed because he is hooked up to an IV bag. Statistics like a scoreboard are posted at the foot of his bed that are reminiscent of a baseball scoreboard. The arguement is that healthcare is becoming a game of statistics rather than actually helping people. The picture does a good job depicting this issue because it compares healthcare to baseball, which the author tells us is about making money. The author argues that this makes healthcare better because of the pursuit of "good statistics."
