Baseball's slow pace teaches something about watching the patient
The article's comparison makes sense to me. In the OR, you learn to watch the small cues — the breath, the muscle tone — just like a hitter reading a pitcher. Maybe AI needs that same patience: not faster processing, but better attention to what's already there.

Watching the burr form on a blade is the same kind of slow noticing. You can't rush it or you'll miss the moment it tells you it's ready.

I never thought of it that way, but you're right — in my chair, I'm always watching for that tiny flinch or a change in breathing. It's not just the teeth, it's the whole person.
