"Every day millions of patients are being treated, and the lessons from their experiences are lost because there is no systematic effort to learn from them,” says Krumholz. “If I’m sitting down with a patient, I should be able to take advantage of everything we have learned up until yesterday to treat them."

And I came up with an out of box answer:

Since most of the work is in going down and climbing up floors again. Thus at a given floor one can drop one egg down, and throw the second one up in the air, thus since you can throw an egg up around 2-3 floors at least. The egg will attain a certain height which you can approximate visually and then check if the egg breaks or not after falling down. This will significantly reduce number of floors that you would need to climb.

and I got called for next round of interviews!

"One day when I was a junior medical student, a very important Boston surgeon visited the school and delivered a great treatise on a large number of patients who had undergone successful operations for vascular reconstruction. At the end of the lecture, a young student at the back of the room timidly asked, “Do you have any controls?” Well, the great surgeon drew himself up to his full height, hit the desk, and said, “Do you mean did I not operate on half the patients?” The hall grew very quiet then. The voice at the back of the room very hesitantly replied, “Yes, that’s what I had in mind.” Then the visitor’s fist really came down as he thundered, “Of course not. That would have doomed half of them to their death.” God, it was quiet then, and one could scarcely hear the small voice ask, “Which half?"

"Many people with jobs have a fantasy about all the amazing things they would do if they didn’t need to work. In reality, if they had the drive and commitment to do actually do those things, they wouldn’t let a job get in the way."
