Not every shot you take will land. But you miss 100% of the ones you don’t take.

People think a lot of hospital delays are caused by doctors. Many times, they aren't. Hospitals are logistical nightmares, even from a doctor's point of view. Take this for instance , you request an investigation, the patient has to pay for it, sometimes move to another department,to get the test done, and then they have to chase the result. And in Nigeria, where many patients pay out of pocket, every additional investigation or procedure can mean another delay while the family tries to raise money. A surprising amount of a resident doctor's time is spent navigating these processes just to get patients the care they need. Sometimes, practising medicine is the easy part. Getting the hospital system to work is the real challenge.
