Also includes suggestions about how to address these root causes; these suggestions are... fi...

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt ... blood of surviving paediatricians 😃 So yes, with some deft Darwinian filtering, there may be something useful to harvest. (surviving as in, alive and still practicing; how many paediatricians wash out of the profession due to permanent sniffles?! 🤷)
