Transcript

And in the nineteen nineties, kids were having a successful cardiac surgery, and then something was going wrong between surgery and ICU in the transition process where kids were needlessly losing their lives. The hospital tried to do every single thing they could for almost ten years. They're trying to fix the problem they can't. One day, two surgeons are in the surgeon lounge watching Tier, and they see this Formula One race. You've seen the pit crews do this beautiful dance. Nobody even speaks to each other. It takes a couple seconds. The car races off. It's amazing to watch. So they're watching this, and they're like, I wonder if a pit crew could come and watch us do our thing, if they could advise us on how to do the transition better. And the people at the hospital were like, that is the worst idea anyone here has had. It would take us months to just explain to them what's happening. And the surgeons were like, well, we've tried everyone else's idea, so why don't we do the mechanic thing? So they bring in the Ferrari Formula one pit crew. The pit crew puts together a report saying, man, your team is so terrible at this one thing. It's amazing. Because people are plugging things in and unplugging them across each other. People are shouting directions across each other. There's no order in how things are supposed to go. There's no person who's in charge of an order. The experts address all of the issues, reduce errors by 66%, and save countless lives. They actually created a standard that is now used worldwide in children's hospitals, and all because the experts could get out of their own way and bring in a pit crew.
