Blink Presentation


Blink
In Chapter four of Blink, the audience read and analyzed the chapter reading about certain situations people encounter and learn life decisions. In chapter four, there was a story about a game, a firefighter, and a hospital in Chicago.
I was to read and discuss about the section of the hospital story. In this story, it stated information about a hospital in Chicago that was very well used and very outdated. It consisted of mostly heart patients and the hospital had no way of diagnosing the patients with what they had. The doctors of the hospital had to go through many series of test to figure out what the patients needed and in the end there was a series of questions to ask and a machine to help get a correct diagnosis.
The final conclusion of the chapter was for people to make a choice that was very important. Would they want little information straight to the point or would they like a overload of information that would take time to read and after a while make the decision. The stories mostly related to the short amount of helpful information straight to the point because they needed to make a quick decision. In my opinion, it depends on what the situation is.
