 Up before dawn making breakfast for her two sons and daughter, who has 
special needs… And that’s all before doctor […] starts her shift in the 
Stanford emergency department. The busiest time in the ER, afternoon? 
Yeah, evening. Yep. Today, Dr. […] is teaching medical students. 
On buy days, she’ll see 15 to 20 patients and do hours of paperwork. If
 I work an eight-hour shift, I might spend two hours or three hours in 
 front of a computer, rather than at the bedside talking to my patients. 
 I imagine you did not get into the medical field to look at a computer? 
No. At night, she’s still catching up on patient charts.
