And then they do the full workup and say, no, no, it's just stress, right?
So 68% of doctor's visits have some form of stress-related component to it.
And yet only 3% of doctors actually counsel their patients for stress.
And so when I did that research and discovered that huge gap, I wanted my work to close that gap.
And so the reason that doctors don't necessarily counsel patients for stress, again, not a personal feeling, doctors would love to, but to be a good doctor in terms of primary care, doctors have to work 27 hours a day to fulfill the basic requirements of their job.
And no one has 27 hours a day to do their work, right?
You have to sleep, you have to eat, you need to spend time with your family.
And so there are impossible, impossible demands placed on doctors to do all of these things that are well outside the bounds of what a regular human can do.
And then in addition to that, so that's why stress often just falls on the wayside.
Because if you're thinking about, you know, a patient's cholesterol and cancer screening and
heart disease and which meds they need and what referrals they need.
It's kind of like, I call it the doorknob question.
You know, like when someone's hand is on the doorknob, like anything else, it's like, oh, actually I am kind of stressed.
And then you say, oh, just try to relax.
Again, no one's fault.
It's just the way the system is designed.
And then the other, you know, the other thing is just that stress as an entity isn't really well understood.
Right.
I think one of the biggest kind of ideas that I want to share is that stress can be quantified just like blood pressure.
And we should start treating it like that so that we can do certain things and then measure it.
