As I’ve been blogging about this for a couple months now, I’m really trying to find anyone who loves these things. Drew: I’ve published a draft version of it on the blog. But I just don’t expect my medical students, residents and generalist colleagues to do that and to have that. Is that right?

So one end of the spectrum is somebody who’s just a total novice, and it’s clearly very awkward and they’re not used to talking to people in a clinical encounter, like a medical student or something like that. Not a lot of blogs out there. And that’s very human, to be awkward. Not a lot of Substacks.
