Yeah I'm in the toughest phase of idea extraction. Which is: hey I want to talk to you but I have nothing to say, YOU do the talking. That's CRAZY hard, especially on LinkedIn (the low hanging fruit I admit). I already extracted a few ideas from motivated docs or 1st/2nd degree real-life connections, and I could move forward with those on a separate front. But what I thought was going to take me 2 hours a day is actually taking the whole damn day, every day.

I had this doc tell me in the most condescending way possible that she could make good bank if she charged my kind for all the free advice she's giving out... And denied me the advice until I demonstrated my worth. And then her advice was a bunch of shitty platitudes.

I had this psychologist basically suggest I write an essay about why docs are driving change in healthcare. I obliged.

On the other hand I had a wonderful doc out of SC who straight up shared his screen with me, unprompted, to show me his problem. This is the kind of guy that gives me hope.
