Wendy Brown, a surgeon at the Alfred Hospital talks poignantly about a patient she was involved with where she couldn’t save their life and she got emotional over it. A great perspective on how you can be human, get distressed at times, but still do your job. Incredible stuff.

Talking too much or thinking too slow?
I’ll need to digest this a bit more, but I’m curious if this is about someone else talking too much or us, the listener, thinking and processing too slow – it mightn’t be either and may be just about reducing the talking.
This is a solid thread (on Twitter) about how to talk to people that’s effective, warm, friendly, and just plain human – we all want to be treated like this, right?
Is there a nice way to tell someone that they are talking entirely too much? Like a person you have to interact with and generally like but they just say so many words all the time?
