Description

During fieldwork in hospitals, Roanne discovers that technology is not just impacting the way in which we experience time, but also the extent to which we find waiting tolerable. 

Due to new technologies, physicians can work faster, which means they can help their patients quicker, too. But there is an important downside to these developments, that is too often overlooked.
