When we have a medication with up front harms and downstream benefits, it’s critical that we consider the time to benefit, or how long it will take an individual to benefit from a test or treatment.

I wonder if you could say a little bit more about the meta Institute in particular and what it is that clinicians today can do to learn, to be more present and learn about the need to be thoughtful and compassionate in the care that they provide people with serious illness.
