What an awesome idea!

How are you measuring engagement? Does your PhD fall under the category of social sciences?

That's awesome, thank you. I'm interested in the influence of video games on mental health, and am chewing over the possible ways of measuring such an effect, so this is really interesting to read. If you're willing to share, I'd be really interested in reading your dissertation when you're done. Good luck with the dissertation defence!

You guys are awesome! NHS 111 service has really helped us out at some awkward middle-of-the-night times; my partner has a chronic condition (migraines) and there's times when we know we need to get her to the nearby clinic to get a painkilling injection.

Most of the time, the 111 call handlers figure out pretty quickly that we know what's going on with her symptoms and we just need to be referred to the clinic. Occasionally, we'll get someone who insists on going through the whole symptom matrix and suggesting stuff like 'have you tried a warm flannel to the back of the neck' and talking to my partner when she's in no fit state to answer questions.

I totally get why they want to do all that stuff, but is there an effective (and obviously polite/respectful) way to say 'hey, we know what's going on, could you just skip this bit'? I don't want to sound like an arse and like I'm telling someone how to do their job or anything, so if there's a way to communicate what we know effectively, that would be really cool!

That's awesome, thank you so much!
