    The author mentions getting tired and having to take rest breaks while driving their normal car. I’d argue that if you’re too tired to drive, you’re way too tired to supervise FSD.

    Not only that, but how effective could she be assessing patients when she’s that exhausted?

    Wouldn’t it just be better… for everyone… to do these assessments via video call, like so many other healthcare professionals do? She’s not assessing someone’s broken bones.

      I understand your larger point but many psychological assessments cannot be conducted virtually, though development in that area continues. Additionally, if assessment for social skills (such as ASD assessments) is the goal, that needs to be done in person.

        Of course, I’m making assumptions about the type of assessments she’s making. Still, I think there are alternatives to driving a monster truck around the state for these kinds of things. It’s not like she’s hauling a thousand pounds of paperwork around.

          Oh absolutely, I do something very similar and while I do have to travel in a similar way, I certainly could never justify, nor would I want a vehicle like that.
