Life-Threatening Emergencies: When to Call 911 & When to Call Your Doctor

Dr. Choctaw clarifies the situations when it's crucial to call 911 versus contacting your doctor directly. He emphasizes the importance of following your doctor's specific instructions but stresses that in life-threatening situations, calling 911 is always the safest option.

Coming up on this episode of the
Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise podcast.

2
00:00:04,580 --> 00:00:10,719
We talked about the use of the, the,
um, the, the defibrillator, uh, and how

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:13,209
it's important to be, uh, available.

4
00:00:13,450 --> 00:00:17,559
And we talked about how it's in large
areas like airports and stores and

5
00:00:18,130 --> 00:00:21,830
Other types of buildings and it's
logically you would think you would

6
00:00:21,849 --> 00:00:27,009
want it in a place that has A large
group of people on particular some of

7
00:00:27,009 --> 00:00:31,830
those people may be able to be elderly
And at that time the issue came up.

8
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:36,089
I was asked well, would you recommend
that we have it in a church?

9
00:00:36,564 --> 00:00:39,394

14
00:00:50,864 --> 00:00:54,924
It's powered by the over 50 years
of medical experience of this Yale

Executive experience being a former
mayor of Walnut, California, as well

20

21
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,250
of Choctaw Medical Group, Incorporated.

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,039
This is the Leadership Masterclass
Edition, already in progress.

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:28,300
This is an example of what it looks
like when patients are taken to a

24
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:29,649
hospital with the Stroke Center.

25
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:33,329
And all of you may not be able to
see this, but basically there's

26
00:01:33,330 --> 00:01:37,020
a patient who's in something
like a CAT scan type device.

27
00:01:37,889 --> 00:01:42,350
Physicians are looking at a
computer screen, an angiogram, or an

28
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:44,469
angiogram type picture of the brain.

29
00:01:44,929 --> 00:01:49,550
Um, and so what they can do is inject
certain material into that patient.

30
00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:53,599
If it's a clot, they can dissolve
the clot, um, getting blood

31
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:55,630
flowing back to that patient.

32
00:01:55,789 --> 00:02:01,619
If it's a bleed, they can plug the
bleed, uh, stop the bleeding, uh,

33
00:02:01,639 --> 00:02:03,729
again, uh, and improve the patient care.

34
00:02:03,729 --> 00:02:07,199
They can also do the same thing,
uh, in terms of, of, of heart,

35
00:02:07,289 --> 00:02:09,549
heart, uh, cardiac arrest too.

36
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:14,230
Um, that, that a lot of that
treatment is now noninvasive.

37
00:02:14,770 --> 00:02:20,020
Um, in terms of not requiring surgery
but basically you go and you have a

38
00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:24,299
certain period of time, thank you, you
have a certain period of time and you

39
00:02:24,299 --> 00:02:29,989
can stop the bleeding in the heart or
decrease the clot that's in the heart

40
00:02:30,220 --> 00:02:32,080
if that's causing the heart problem too.

41
00:02:32,689 --> 00:02:39,140
Um, but so you, you want to be in
close proximity to, um, uh, healthcare

42
00:02:39,149 --> 00:02:45,249
in, uh, organizations, the healthcare
organizations that have the very latest

43
00:02:45,279 --> 00:02:48,049
in care, the very latest in care.

44
00:02:48,219 --> 00:02:54,899
So we talked about a situation where
there's an absolute emergency and so

45
00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:59,630
you want to, uh, call 911 or get the
patient immediately to the hospital.

46
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:03,580
This is, and this is when I say emergency,
I'm talking about life threatening

47
00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:06,240
emergency, life threatening emergency.

48
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:10,720
Now sometimes, uh, you may have
a certain health care condition.

49
00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:15,970
You have your own doctor, or maybe you've
had surgery, and it's immediately post op.

50
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,360
Your doctor will say to you, If
anything happens, blah, blah,

51
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480
blah, blah, blah, blah, call me.

52
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:23,690
You call me.

53
00:03:24,250 --> 00:03:26,149
Here's my number, call me
directly, blah, blah, blah.

54
00:03:26,399 --> 00:03:30,190
Most doctors, um, have
24 7 answering services.

55
00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:34,780
Um, and if he or she tells you
to call them, then you call them.

56
00:03:34,970 --> 00:03:35,429
What's my point?

57
00:03:35,699 --> 00:03:39,780
My point is that if you've been given
specific instructions by your healthcare

58
00:03:39,790 --> 00:03:41,859
professional, that's always number one.

59
00:03:41,869 --> 00:03:43,030
Follow those instructions.

60
00:03:43,475 --> 00:03:46,464
If you're confused or whatever,
on the other hand, and you're

61
00:03:46,464 --> 00:03:50,424
in a life threatening situation,
there's not a major downsize.

62
00:03:50,845 --> 00:03:53,554
downside to calling 9 1 1.

63
00:03:53,555 --> 00:03:57,735
You know, my point is always err on
doing too much and too little, right?

64
00:03:57,905 --> 00:04:01,674
If you're confused, if you
aren't sure, call 9 1 1.

65
00:04:01,854 --> 00:04:05,995
But if your doctor says, and I
would do that after I've done an

66
00:04:05,995 --> 00:04:10,765
operation on a patient, I'd say, if
this, this, this happens, call me.

67
00:04:10,955 --> 00:04:15,695
Um, and many times by talking to me, I
can say, oh yeah, that's normal, blah,

68
00:04:15,695 --> 00:04:17,995
blah, blah, and then don't worry about it.

69
00:04:18,045 --> 00:04:21,945
Or I can say, Go to the emergency
room, I'm on my way, type thing.

70
00:04:24,095 --> 00:04:25,855
So, always sort of keep that in mind.

71
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:32,565
But in addition to that, if your doctor,
um, gives you instructions in general,

72
00:04:32,575 --> 00:04:34,105
follow those doctor instructions.

73
00:04:34,105 --> 00:04:37,645
So, when should you go to something
like an urgent care center?

74
00:04:37,885 --> 00:04:39,224
Urgent care centers are good.

75
00:04:40,265 --> 00:04:43,525
Many times patients hate going to, many
people hate going to the emergency room.

76
00:04:43,985 --> 00:04:46,695
They're so crowded, we wait so
long, blah, blah, blah, blah,

77
00:04:46,695 --> 00:04:48,485
blah, depending on where you go.

78
00:04:48,885 --> 00:04:54,094
And everything may not rise to the level
of, of, of going to the emergency room.

79
00:04:54,325 --> 00:05:00,015
Let's say you are out walking and
you sprain your ankle and it's sore,

80
00:05:00,645 --> 00:05:03,955
um, that may be something you can
go to an urgent care center about,

81
00:05:04,255 --> 00:05:10,044
um, or let's say you have a ear
infection And you get ear infections

82
00:05:10,044 --> 00:05:11,965
all the time, so you know what it is.

83
00:05:12,905 --> 00:05:17,155
But you need medication and you're not a
doctor, you can't write a prescription,

84
00:05:17,755 --> 00:05:21,364
then that's something that you may want to
think about going to the emergency room.

85
00:05:22,254 --> 00:05:27,805
Maybe you cut yourself, small
laceration, it's bleeding, you put

86
00:05:27,805 --> 00:05:32,215
something on it but it's a big cut,
you may want to go to an urgent

87
00:05:32,215 --> 00:05:33,724
care center for something like that.

88
00:05:34,130 --> 00:05:38,090
Because something like that can suit
to the laceration, um, in general.

89
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:42,489
Um, these are some of the things
that you may not necessarily go

90
00:05:42,489 --> 00:05:44,059
directly to the emergency room.

91
00:05:44,359 --> 00:05:48,550
Um, um, what, one of the things that
you can do is you call the emergency

92
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:53,830
room and say blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah happened, um, should I come in

93
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:55,260
and have you take a look at this?

94
00:05:55,690 --> 00:05:59,340
Um, and many times they'll, they'll,
they'll give you advice, uh, that

95
00:05:59,340 --> 00:06:01,250
particularly works for poisons.

96
00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:03,370
You, you've taken some
of it, you've got kids.

97
00:06:04,234 --> 00:06:05,835
And the kid has swallowed something.

98
00:06:06,174 --> 00:06:09,875
You get the bottle and you read it
and you say, what, what should I do?

99
00:06:09,885 --> 00:06:13,385
Maybe you don't know about poison
centers and whistle, whatever.

100
00:06:13,585 --> 00:06:17,565
You can call the emergency room and they,
they, they will give you instructions

101
00:06:17,824 --> 00:06:19,674
about what to do, what not to do.

102
00:06:20,184 --> 00:06:22,945
Um, or just take the kid
to the emergency room.

103
00:06:23,465 --> 00:06:29,155
Uh, there are walk in clinics and
even some of the places like some

104
00:06:29,155 --> 00:06:35,164
pharmacists, uh, have like little
clinics for small things, things that

105
00:06:35,164 --> 00:06:39,784
need care, but don't require, that
are not life threatening, and don't

106
00:06:39,784 --> 00:06:41,634
require you going to the emergency room.

107
00:06:42,484 --> 00:06:45,635
Again, just a couple of other
things, and may it bear well.

108
00:06:45,995 --> 00:06:50,455
Um, uh, required going to the
emergency room, choking, uh, someone

109
00:06:50,455 --> 00:06:54,555
who, uh, swallows something, um,
fish bones, something like that.

110
00:06:54,864 --> 00:06:57,534
You can't get it out, let's say
you know the Heimlich Maneuver,

111
00:06:57,534 --> 00:07:01,875
you try it, it doesn't work, uh,
you want to call 9 1 1 with that.

112
00:07:02,354 --> 00:07:04,395
Um, to get that patient
to the emergency room.

113
00:07:06,705 --> 00:07:12,225
Um, let me say a quick word about
automatic electronic devices in, in,

114
00:07:12,225 --> 00:07:14,295
in various types of organizations.

115
00:07:14,475 --> 00:07:19,955
About a year ago, um, when I gave, uh,
some discussion and we were talking about

116
00:07:20,195 --> 00:07:25,385
heart disease, actually heart disease,
both cardiac arrest and, and, and,

117
00:07:25,385 --> 00:07:28,445
uh, um, cardiac conditions like that.

118
00:07:28,795 --> 00:07:31,170
We talked about the use of the, the, um.

119
00:07:32,115 --> 00:07:37,465
the, the defibrillator, uh, and how
it's important to be, uh, available.

120
00:07:37,675 --> 00:07:41,035
And we talked about how it's in
large areas like airports and

121
00:07:41,035 --> 00:07:43,615
stores and other types of buildings.

122
00:07:43,805 --> 00:07:48,870
And it's, logically, you would think you
would want it in a place that has Um, a

123
00:07:48,870 --> 00:07:53,000
large group of people, particularly if
some of those people may well be elderly.

124
00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:58,139
Uh, and at that time, uh, the issue came
up, I was asked, uh, well, would you

125
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:00,370
recommend that we have it in a church?

126
00:08:00,589 --> 00:08:02,659
And I said, yeah, that,
that would be reasonable.

127
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,650
Um, I still think that's reasonable,
but I'm reminded of something I

128
00:08:07,679 --> 00:08:09,350
think is always important to say.

129
00:08:09,950 --> 00:08:13,630
It always depends on the circumstances.

130
00:08:14,159 --> 00:08:15,419
It always depends.

131
00:08:15,419 --> 00:08:15,769
It always depends.

132
00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:21,750
Um, and I, I would tell you that
almost any time somebody asks, they'll,

133
00:08:21,790 --> 00:08:25,100
they'll come up to me and they'll give
me a series of symptoms and they'll

134
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:28,530
say, should I do ABC or is it EFG?

135
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,589
My, my, one of my answers is it depends.

136
00:08:33,010 --> 00:08:34,160
Give me more information.

137
00:08:34,239 --> 00:08:35,090
Tell me more of this.

138
00:08:35,090 --> 00:08:35,970
Tell me more of that.

139
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,780
Um, ironically, anytime you ask
an attorney any question about

140
00:08:40,810 --> 00:08:44,790
anything, she will say to you, or
he will say to you, it depends.

141
00:08:45,619 --> 00:08:48,160
And what they're saying is
give me more information.

142
00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:56,099
My point very simply is you always want
to give advice in context, in context.

143
00:08:56,439 --> 00:08:57,560
What do I mean by that?

144
00:08:57,990 --> 00:09:02,880
What I mean is patient A is different from
patient B is different from patient C.

145
00:09:03,329 --> 00:09:05,659
Each has his or her own context.

146
00:09:05,669 --> 00:09:10,570
So going back to the AED, the
defibrillator, yes, it's reasonable to

147
00:09:10,570 --> 00:09:13,920
have a defibrillator in a church where
you may have two or three hundred people.

148
00:09:14,715 --> 00:09:20,645
If that is the best way to
provide quality healthcare to the

149
00:09:20,645 --> 00:09:22,805
people in that environment, okay?

150
00:09:23,005 --> 00:09:26,415
Notice that I'm putting in
some qualifications there.

151
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:33,184
Qualification number one, what if you have
this very, very pretty green defibrillator

152
00:09:33,365 --> 00:09:34,805
but nobody knows how to use it?

153
00:09:35,105 --> 00:09:36,525
Nobody knows how to use it.

154
00:09:36,565 --> 00:09:41,405
Nobody's been trained, it's not
organized, you've got it on the wall,

155
00:09:41,735 --> 00:09:43,295
but no one's ever used it before.

156
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:47,200
Actually, it has instructions on the
inside, but can you imagine people

157
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,940
trying to read instructions on the
inside and you've got some patient,

158
00:09:50,270 --> 00:09:55,720
or let's say somebody in church who
stopped breathing, right, uh, so my,

159
00:09:55,810 --> 00:09:57,740
and so that, that, that's one issue.

160
00:09:57,810 --> 00:10:04,850
Second issue, uh, let's say,
um, uh, someone, um, has a, a,

161
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:12,185
a cardiac arrest, um, and, um,
The defibrillator is not working.

162
00:10:12,435 --> 00:10:14,875
Uh, yeah, it's on the wall,
but no one ever checks it.

163
00:10:16,685 --> 00:10:18,615
You'd be amazed how often that happens.

164
00:10:18,705 --> 00:10:22,595
I can tell you, as a Joint
Commission Surveyor, I would

165
00:10:22,644 --> 00:10:24,175
go into a hospital, right?

166
00:10:24,555 --> 00:10:28,425
And they would always assign me the
operating room because I'm a surgeon,

167
00:10:28,675 --> 00:10:33,425
and I'd have an entourage of doctors and
nurses with heads following me, whatever.

168
00:10:33,735 --> 00:10:38,345
And I'd go and I'd look, I'd look at,
one of my favorite things would be, were

169
00:10:38,924 --> 00:10:43,455
refrigerators, because they all have
refrigerators, or coolers, or heaters.

170
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:47,844
And I would walk in and I'd put
my hand on the, on the, on the

171
00:10:47,844 --> 00:10:51,464
refrigerator, and I said, you
know, this doesn't feel cool to me.

172
00:10:51,645 --> 00:10:54,414
I'd say, well, what's the
temperature of your refrigerator?

173
00:10:54,965 --> 00:10:57,285
And they say, uh, 73 degrees.

174
00:10:57,935 --> 00:11:01,125
I say, What does your policy say?

175
00:11:01,245 --> 00:11:03,715
And they say, uh, well, we aren't sure.

176
00:11:04,215 --> 00:11:06,855
And I'd say, would you
give me your policy?

177
00:11:08,395 --> 00:11:09,405
I'd like to read it.

178
00:11:11,614 --> 00:11:13,435
I would have, they would get the policy.

179
00:11:13,625 --> 00:11:18,225
They'd set a runner and take off
and, you know, they run back policy

180
00:11:18,405 --> 00:11:21,435
and the policy would say 69 degrees.

181
00:11:21,585 --> 00:11:23,915
I'd say, but you told me this is 73.

182
00:11:24,485 --> 00:11:26,525
I said, so you're out of compliance.

183
00:11:27,140 --> 00:11:27,939
with your policy.

184
00:11:27,989 --> 00:11:29,439
So this is no good.

185
00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:33,609
And I, I, I would give them a quote
unquote, something called like a demerit.

186
00:11:33,930 --> 00:11:34,680
What's my point?

187
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,329
My point is you can have all
the best equipment in the world.

188
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:42,069
If you don't have a process in
place where it's checked and kept

189
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:43,909
up to date, it won't help you.

190
00:11:43,909 --> 00:11:44,879
Does that make sense?

191
00:11:45,069 --> 00:11:50,005
So with all that being said,
my belief is And I'm going to

192
00:11:50,015 --> 00:11:52,544
say at this church, call 9 1 1.

193
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:55,295
Don't worry about getting defibrillated
and putting it on the wall.

194
00:11:55,805 --> 00:12:01,545
Um, um, and the reason is, and my other
thing, going back to my other scenario,

195
00:12:01,785 --> 00:12:07,515
if there is an alternative way that can
give you equal or better care in that

196
00:12:07,515 --> 00:12:10,335
situation, go to that alternative way.

197
00:12:10,675 --> 00:12:14,615
For us, say at this particular
church, we've got a paramedic unit

198
00:12:14,645 --> 00:12:17,104
that's minutes from this church.

199
00:12:17,354 --> 00:12:17,724
Minutes.

200
00:12:18,655 --> 00:12:22,815
And I've seen them come, uh, you
know, uh, the time when they're

201
00:12:22,815 --> 00:12:24,065
called and the time they get here.

202
00:12:24,435 --> 00:12:24,745
Minutes.

203
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:26,750
You can't beat that.

204
00:12:26,970 --> 00:12:28,010
You can't beat that.

205
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:33,140
So my recommendation, and I
communicate this to the nursing

206
00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:36,859
ministry, continue to call 9 1 1.

207
00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:38,429
Continue to call 9 1 1.

208
00:12:38,429 --> 00:12:43,139
Because in this situation, under
these circumstances, that is

209
00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:46,820
your best method for making sure
that everybody is cared about.

210
00:12:47,095 --> 00:12:48,275
So what's my point?

211
00:12:48,485 --> 00:12:54,795
Many times there's a shiny white object
out there with colors and lights.

212
00:12:54,995 --> 00:12:56,645
Don't always go to the shiny object.

213
00:12:56,665 --> 00:12:58,314
Stop and ask questions.

214
00:12:58,834 --> 00:12:59,714
Does this work?

215
00:12:59,894 --> 00:13:01,145
How long does it work?

216
00:13:01,484 --> 00:13:03,045
Who's responsible for it?

217
00:13:04,505 --> 00:13:05,725
Does it meet my needs?

218
00:13:06,510 --> 00:13:09,609
Um, I don't want to spend a lot of
money if it doesn't meet my needs,

219
00:13:09,609 --> 00:13:10,839
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

220
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,550
And you want to ask those types
of, those types of questions.

221
00:13:14,939 --> 00:13:20,359
In summary, um, life threatening
emergencies, uh, we should call 9 1 1.

222
00:13:20,359 --> 00:13:21,889
Should call 9 1 1.

223
00:13:21,970 --> 00:13:27,170
Um, certainly do CPR, um, at
home while the patient is, while

224
00:13:27,569 --> 00:13:28,700
the individuals are coming.

225
00:13:29,010 --> 00:13:32,960
Um, get the, and or get the patient
to the emergency room if you can.

226
00:13:34,370 --> 00:13:38,119
But ideally, you want
to call 9 1 1, 9 1 1.

227
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,530
Go to the emergency room,
um, uh, whenever possible.

228
00:13:41,939 --> 00:13:48,039
Um, um, if your physician tells
you to call her, um, for X, Y, Z,

229
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,760
because you have a certain particular
problem, feel free to do that.

230
00:13:52,245 --> 00:13:57,194
Um, but if you aren't sure, if you can't
remember what your physician said, go

231
00:13:57,204 --> 00:13:59,604
to the emergency room or call 9 1 1.

232
00:13:59,604 --> 00:14:03,675
You can consider things like urgent
care centers and pharmacies for minor

233
00:14:03,724 --> 00:14:08,145
injuries, when things happen on a
weekend or a holiday and things are,

234
00:14:08,175 --> 00:14:13,324
other things aren't available, uh,
but again, the most severe types of

235
00:14:13,324 --> 00:14:18,614
life threatening injuries or illnesses
are heart and head, basically.

236
00:14:19,050 --> 00:14:22,280
And you always want to get those
patients into the emergency room.

237
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,730
My basic principles, I always
go over, um, God is in charge.

238
00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:31,749
Um, if there's anything I have learned
in my seven or six years, the things

239
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:34,620
that I thought I knew, I did not know.

240
00:14:34,620 --> 00:14:37,460
That's the truth.

241
00:14:37,830 --> 00:14:40,200
Uh, and so I continue to learn.

242
00:14:40,660 --> 00:14:41,910
I continue to evolve.

243
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:45,250
And I say that to you because I
think we all continue to learn.

244
00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:46,800
And we continue to evolve.

245
00:14:47,699 --> 00:14:48,660
Um, no bad days.

246
00:14:48,660 --> 00:14:49,890
I don't have bad days.

247
00:14:50,250 --> 00:14:56,040
Um, I will admit, um, um, about
three weeks ago or so, I was

248
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,780
going through a, a similar concern
about the state of the country.

249
00:15:01,330 --> 00:15:03,429
You know, I won't go into details,

250
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:07,219
but all of a sudden.

251
00:15:11,250 --> 00:15:16,110
The clouds opened up and the
sun shone through, you know,

252
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:18,190
and oh my god, Kamala Harris.

253
00:15:18,190 --> 00:15:22,689
God is in charge.

254
00:15:23,010 --> 00:15:24,319
I'm just gonna leave it there.

255
00:15:24,580 --> 00:15:25,770
I'm gonna leave it there.

256
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,639
Don't fight the small stuff
and most stuff is small.

257
00:15:34,119 --> 00:15:35,609
Forgiveness is therapy.

258
00:15:35,609 --> 00:15:36,930
We say this all the time.

259
00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:41,209
Uh, when stuff will happen to
you, I guarantee you stuff will

260
00:15:41,219 --> 00:15:43,859
happen around you that you won't
have a clue why it's happening.

261
00:15:44,199 --> 00:15:47,199
You may perceive it as negative
and it may be negative.

262
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,819
It doesn't matter.

263
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:49,809
Forgive them.

264
00:15:50,489 --> 00:15:50,899
Forgive them.

265
00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:52,029
Why?

266
00:15:52,319 --> 00:15:55,300
Because it's more about
you than it is about them.

267
00:15:55,939 --> 00:16:02,699
Um, and, and by forgiving them, you retain
your power, your personal power, um, as

268
00:16:02,699 --> 00:16:04,709
compared to giving it up to someone else.

269
00:16:04,855 --> 00:16:08,974
Uh, and finally, everything
is a relationship.

270
00:16:09,145 --> 00:16:10,724
Everything is a relationship.

271
00:16:11,295 --> 00:16:13,035
Relationships are based on three things.

272
00:16:13,035 --> 00:16:16,035
Mutual respect, mutual
trust, good communication.

273
00:16:16,295 --> 00:16:19,215
If you have those three things,
you have an excellent relationship.

274
00:16:19,495 --> 00:16:21,385
If you do not, you have work to do.

275
00:16:21,545 --> 00:16:22,955
So please keep that in mind.

276
00:16:23,225 --> 00:16:30,045
Also, uh, if you, uh, uh, have enjoyed,
uh, these masterclasses, Uh, each one of

277
00:16:30,045 --> 00:16:35,225
these masterclasses is converted into a
podcast, actually into multiple podcasts.

278
00:16:35,645 --> 00:16:42,004
Um, our podcast professor, the chief,
um, uh, production officer, uh, is

279
00:16:42,004 --> 00:16:47,475
always on the job, uh, and he does that
very, very quickly and expeditiously.

280
00:16:47,745 --> 00:16:52,055
And my point is, you can, you can
repeat, you can go over this information.

281
00:16:52,585 --> 00:16:56,265
