when we go to a different institution that we're like, oh, actually things are a bit different.
And then you sort of get used to that.
And so I was really interested in all of the studies that I've done in trying to understand like, well, what are the differences between that?
And I like to interview people who have been at those different institutions to get a sense of like the things that the different things that they're seeing.
So actually, what was also a big part of this are like the ethical challenges that we encounter near the end of life.
And so one of the things that I felt as a resident was moral distress around some of the um the treatments that we provide near the end of life.
And I found that there were a lot of different things that constrained my ability to do what I thought was in the best interest of the patient.
So I trained in New York, and there was oftentimes
a lot of invocation of policies and laws that were like, oh well, we can't do this because you know we have to
do this law or that law.
But then I also felt like nobody really knew what the policies and laws were and people were just sort of generally talking about these policies and laws that constrained them.
And I found that to be both um very interesting ethically but also very morally distressing.
And so um I sometimes joke that I did four years of a PhD to go through like you know self-therapy of like trying to understand this intellectually and ethically.
And and so when I did my
PhD, I actually interviewed at many different institutions in the United States.
And and when I was trying to understand, like, why do we do these sort of things?
It was so interesting to like go back to where I did my medical school, interview people there, interview at a different institution in the US and see how different they were.
And actually how it wasn't actually just necessarily the policies or the laws that were changing the way that we were practicing, but also who we were around.
And basically the hospital culture, which was something that I just started getting more interested in the more I looked into it.
Yeah.
