Let me ask you a question: Can you ever know everything? You can take time to think, I have answered this at the end of this mini-essay.
I come from a place where the sole purpose of education is to get a job (government or private). So, I have been taught from day 0 that you will never know everything - that same I was taught in my School, Engineering, and the rest of my life.
I had felt sad thinking that I will never know everything, it didn’t make sense considering I desired to know everything. But our mindset is the product of the input feed by different sources, therefore, I accepted that I will never know everything.
But then I read “The Fabric of Reality” by David Deutsch”, and, first time in my life, I realised I could know everything.
I will write my own version of what David expressed in his book: If you know the fundamental reality that has the better explanation and has universality, there are chances to know everything.
Reading this felt so good, therefore, I built a mental model: look for the fundamentals and match those with your current mental notions. This week, we also discovered the two fundamentals of healthcare that have universal reach.
The Out-patient Department (OPD) is a hyperlocal
The In-patient Department (IPD) has no boundary
By looking at these, it looks like few words but contains every aspect of healthcare similar to knowing that Gravity is not a force but a manifestation of mass and space and time.
We are building “The World’s Biggest Healthcare Company from India” and we have to uncover(discover) the fundamentals of Healthcare - at present, it seems, the industry lacks that insight otherwise, we already had a healthcare company with a global impact.
What did I do this week? [18-11-2024 at 23-11-2023]
I started asking simple questions at the end of the week - What did I do this week? I am also thinking of adding this to my calendar, permanently. This week was eventful:
We signed a large hospital with 450+ beds and they are also in the process of starting their Medical College and Hospital. You can read more: here
We had a super eventful meeting with another large hospital with multiple outlets, and we will sign the MOU on Tuesday and Thursday.
We completed the processes that will make the user's (patients) experience seamless: today this is broken.
tbh, when you are a pre-PMF startup in the space for almost 2 years, having a week with a tangible outcome feels like a win (lol).
