So then when you throw in, I also do ICU.
Yeah, it's like my blue chip I can.
Yeah, yeah.
Also, when you're at the hospital, it's like, I mean, we're all ICU nurses here, but I have millions of followers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, in your book, you are talking to people and you're asking them questions.
These questions take them to places that reveal something about them.
And I'm wondering if you think talking to people in the way that you do has made you a better nurse.
Yeah, that's a thoughtful question, Josh.
Honestly, I think they've both helped each other.
The questions that I ask all of these strangers are the same exact questions I use in the bedside.
You know, when I'm with a patient, especially in the ICU, you have two patients and you work with them for 13 hours a day, multiple times a week.
And so how's the weather only lasts so long?
You know, I mean, you have to start being able to understand what kind of conversation the person wants to have.
And so the questions in this book and many other questions that I ask, they are all bred from me being a nurse.
And without being able to do these stories, I wouldn't have been saved from the burnout that I was experiencing from the ICU.
But vice versa, making content as well, being a content creator, as you would know, it can cause its own type of burnout.
And without having nursing, I wouldn't be able to step away from the content side as well.
So they fill each other's cup.
