The New York Times Magazine has an article on Ina Drew, who was supposed to oversee trading operations at JP Morgan and was reportedly a great risk manager. But her unit lost $5 billion. To me, the underplayed role in all this was Lyme disease. The article mentions she had it, and that she was out of work for a while. But I think that people don’t understand how serious Lyme can be, and when it’s mentioned in the article and when people talk about the episode it seems like she had the equivalent of the flu or mono. But it seems she was not nearly on top of her game because she had been seriously, seriously ill and was still feeling the effects. Everyone underestimate the risk of her health position.
