And yeah, luckily we did and here we are.
Um so but definitely obviously like big decisions along the way, but I tend to follow my instincts.
Um I'm an intuitive person, I guess.
Yeah, I mean, there are parts of it that are good to lean into the question.
So the good parts are that it helps you form synthesis and you spend time thinking through the case.
Um, so there's certain aspects that are good, I think.
I think the bad part is just it's the capacity problem.
So when like me as a doctor, you know, on when I was a trauma doctor, I would have a hundred patients on our list.
So it's a hundred patients waiting on me and maybe two other doctors to help them.
Um get care done for them.
And yeah, when you're sitting in hospital, like you're waiting for things to happen, like the physio to see you, or the uh CT scan to get done, or the uh referral to a different specialist.
So there are all these jobs.
We used to call it the uh ward round list.
So you do the ward round and then there's all these jobs to be done.
And of those jobs, probably like 20% of them really required like clinical judgment, like they needed a doctor.
To actually figure it out and do the job.
But majority of the other tasks were just purely administrative.
Like someone had to refer to this person, or someone had to draft a letter, or someone had to, and these are patients who are like sitting in beds, getting sicker.
Hospitals are not a good place to be, like you can get pneumonia, ulcers, all sorts of bad things.
And those beds could be used by other people who are waiting in the emergency to be seen.
