        @Atul_Gawande @BostonGlobe if there is a wait is the end product worth it: ask the patient; numerous factors at play. Biased study

        @Atul_Gawande @BostonGlobe emergencies, drop-ins, complexity - all contribute to delays seeing MD. But pts should be informed of delays

        @Atul_Gawande @BostonGlobe a bit unfair. If docs forced to schedule more than they know they can handle by admin, it is their fault?
