Anyone who has ever served time on a hospital administration committee knows what I'm talking about.  This is where the vast difference between the world of hospital administration versus the world of doctors and nurses becomes clear. As a side note for those interested in the process of creating these animations: I experimented with a different method of creating the talking head portion.  The result was not what I wanted, but it was interesting... Here is the comparison video:

I made my last animation with tracing paper and a pen back in 1992.  At the time, I was mainly drawing with a Summagraphics Sketch Pad attached to a desktop Amiga Computer with a ton of peripherals. Even though they all filled a room, it still only output low resolution video.

This could work...

Our office rule:  A drug needs to be out for about two years before we consider using it.  There are exceptions, of course.

I used to get all bent out of shape when a cell phone went off in the room. What's the point?  This is more common than you think.
