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.

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.
