Lorenza has a new project on "Timed Bodies": www.lorenzamondada.net/timedbodies

Some other things come to mind - of course it depends on what approach one takes:

That’s so cool!

This is a great summary. It’s not a space I’ve looked at took much because it “made sense” that we wouldn’t try to explain what we couldn’t observe.

“I was just thinking” is one of my favourite* accounts when I pursue a response from one of my kids 😆

Omg this is so amazing - thank you so much for all this!!

I’d be keen to research more in this space, so if someone is looking for a conversation analyst and wants to look at pelvic pain, get it touch!

Just whether it could be considered a thing in CA.

It definitely does! I saw my obgyn the other week and got a couple of texts letting me know he’d be late due to a delivery and so I was able to grab a coffee and do some emails rather than waiting in the rooms.

We didn’t compare different wording, but I reckon it acknowledges the wait enough. It would probably depend on how late you’re running - the later the more explicit of an apology. That said, there is the increased social expectation of lateness for doctors and that’s probably more in your specialty!

More efficient than the sun?!

These insights have important implications for health communication policy and GP training — helping improve efficiency while maintaining quality care.

Our findings show that not only do age, education, and the number of concerns influence how long a consultation takes, but agenda setting and whether there's a clear driver of the consultation also play a significant role.

In our mixed-methods study, we explored why there's a mismatch between allocated and actual consultation time. We examined how external factors (like patient age and education) and internal factors (such as the number and nature of medical concerns raised) affect consultation length.

Did you know the average length of a GP consultation in Australia is 18.7 minutes? While this has been increasing over time, GPs still report time pressure as a major challenge, with many consultations running longer than scheduled.
