09:04 And I think that’s where the irony came from as well, because of the not only confusion within our field, but the confusion of patients and families who are the consumers of palliative care and the referral sources. We have the tools and we also are part of teams that provide survivorship care.

So we looked at hospital referral regions, and we looked at high- and low- intensity regions. Caroline: And I love how you highlight the importance of these staff biases, perhaps implicit bias that is driving some of these healthcare decisions. But yet the changes we saw, the transitions we saw, but we didn’t transition the care.
