Yeah. I haven't figured that out. If you, if you know of anybody. Right.

Yeah. Yeah. Nobody's doing you any favors in this industry. And I had a similar experience with my son as a, reading a breathing machine. And it's a BiPAP or CPAP. So it's commonly used for CPAP. But I have to put it on a baby. And I remember going home with this machine and being taught how to use the machine in the hospital.

Well, the machine they're going to give you at home is a completely different model and it works completely different.

And so I wanted to bring my home machine. I just got dropped off and my home machine into the hospital so they could teach me how to use it on my son before I went home. And I brought the machine in and they said, Oh no, no, no, no. That's a home equipment. We can't touch that. You know, we have to use the hospital equipment. I'm like, I don't know how to use this. And now I'm,

we just had to wing it. It was unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah.

i didn't realize the trend until i finished the book um but every chapter everything i ever wrote in this book um i mentioned reimbursement rates and i'm dealing with the medicaid uh with my son and everything went back to that and so but in also in a bigger picture the competing priorities You know, are the pharmaceutical industry, what are they interested in?

Maybe they're interested in profits, creating new drugs, being, you know, a shareholder situation, or what are the benefits of a hospital? What are the benefits of the accreditation organizations? Every single part of the healthcare system, I feel like has a different priority. Sadly, I don't think any of those, I think that's number one in any industry. is what I kind of came to the conclusion.

If something else, patients are there, or if it's a public announcement, patients are always going to be at the top. But in the background, it's like, yeah, but if it's dollars or if it's, you know, market share, okay, that might take the top. I don't think it'll ever be announced that way, but.

Um, no, I actually think that people that are delivering the care, um, are in it for the right reasons. I think they're, uh, Their leadership or whoever is directing them is the ones that make it difficult.

So I'm not the only one like frustrated with the patient perspective, but I find that a lot of actual frontline caregivers are equally as frustrated with the process because they can't properly care for the patients they want to because they're told, nope, you got to see a patient every 15 minutes or whatever. Nope, you're an RN on a floor. You got 10 patients to look after.
