I think this is my first post in hn.<p>I'm a tifosi. But what a poor choice of F1 team to learn from successful, coordinated, well and timely executed pit stops.
To be fair they did win the Fastest Pit Stop Award last season

Pit stops aren't Ferrari's problem. its race Strategy.
>>I'm a tifosi.<p>Like one of those big banners they hold up at football (soccer) matches?
Those are called tifo. Tifosi are the people doing the holding.
Tifosi is just Italian for "fans". In this context, it's fans of the Ferrari F1 team.
My thought exactly. When I read the title, I thought they're gonna get more people killed if they use Ferrari F1 pit crew as their learning benchmark lol.
I still vividly remember Massa's pit stop at the 2008 Singapore GP.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Pit+Stop+Felipe+Massa+2008" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Pit+Stop+Felipe...</a><p>As a die-hard Schumacher fan, I really wanted to see Massa take the title that year, so it was heartbreaking. And yet, I can't help but laugh every time I see the Ferrari crew looking so dejected, carrying that fuel hose back to the garage like a defeated army.<p>I suppose we shouldn't apply this "Ferrari system" to medical surgery—unless the patient is prepared to have their aorta dragged out along with the equipment.
That article seems to be from 2012…
Dov'è la gomma? :-)
Next up: learning effective radio communication from Ferrari F1 race engineers ;)
It's tifoso or tifosa (female). Tifosi is plural.

This means the patient makes up their own strategy and the doctor says “we are checking”
I clicked the button saying "I work in healthcare" to get access #L33T_H4XX0r
Yeah what a strange “guard” to put in place. No clue why they’d do it this way.<p>I first thought it’d be a “I’m 18+ pop-up” lol.
My first thought was a conversation with a med student friend about the tension between medical research transparency and public policy. For example, it's good to get vaccinated, but some small fraction of people do have lasting side effects, and vaccine skeptics blow it out of proportion to support their views. So, medical professionals may be tempted to downplay vaccine injury to support public vaccination. Of course, doing so just erodes trust further if people notice. Anyways, perhaps this website is afraid people will hurt themselves with ambiguous information.
It's probably underpinned by the same sort of "we're legally/contractually obligated to ask but we really don't care" type situation.
I clicked that button - and nothing happened. Truly some great engineering on that blog.
Now you're going to get ads for MRI systems and 10,000 miles of free bandage samples
Ok... so highly paid physicians who like F1 had to absolutely be invited to Ferrari F1 pits in order to learn common sense?<p>I am an electrical engineer. Can I be invited to some eCar races pits to learn common sense too?
From your take aways from this article, what did they learn that was "common sense" exactly? I'm not aware of many people working a lot with handovers to ICUs unless they're already working in a hospital, so maybe it's hard to build up "common sense" from a situation you almost never encounter before you're there?

Cue the absolutely inevitable pit wall clown masks meme.
Plan D, Charles, plan D.
One cool aspect of working in a high-performance, critical setting, is you learn and absorb amazingly well-research practices without thinking about what it took for things to get there.

A watch floor turn over in the military or on-station aircraft swap are also good places to look at.
PTSD from "Stay out Stay out"
(2012). Another article on the same doctor was discussed recently:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43957231">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43957231</a>
During the pandemic we had F1 teams attempting to solve all the world's problems with their superior tech and methods, but nothing really came of it. This story has overtones of 'here we go again'.<p>Truth be told, Ferrari don't have normal customers. All of them have to be extremely rich. Even then, they get treated as if they are 'tractor company owners' and not worthy. The F1 team has hundreds of people for running two cars, with those cars needing to drive no more than two hours at a time, with no need for the cars to last more than one season, at a cost of many millions.<p>Compare with the hospitality sector, where customers come from all walks of life, from all over the world. Money has to be made rather than just spent. Rarely is anyone kept waiting (in a decent hotel) and the customer has to come first, at all cost. There are handovers and checklists, which are no big deal.<p>From my experience of various hospital stays, where waiting is glacial, I honestly believe that just a little bit of 'customer first' attitude would be helpful. Just a few staff that have experience from the real world of hospitality would make a difference, and I just don't see the F1 people having the basic skills, even if they can do high-octane pitstops in seconds.
let's see how many people lied about being healthcare professionals
I don't know, I would worried about learning anything from Ferrari F1 team. As they refuse to learn. If it wasn't for their OP engines, they would not have been competitive FOR MANY years.<p>Their race strategy has been sabotaging drivers for YEARS.<p>TIL, I am a health professional on the internet. If you need help with any health problems I am here. /s
