you nailed it! this is brilliant! it perfectly demonstrates health care today from the point of view of the stressed physician in the overbooked and understaffed facility.
YES to everything said above. Original concept and yet truly explains our current primary care experiences. Genius image
Great visual representation of the insoluble demands and stressors of outpatient primary care. And the Tetris motif is pitch-perfect! Thank you for creating this!
