The final speaker of the program said, "I've just a bit more. I don’t suppose anyone will mind if I go over time." His little was about half-hour.
Sadly, he went by way of the data so quick, was unattainable to take notes. So as to add insult to my personal damage was an hour trip to listen to another speaker who flew in from South Africa. Mr. Healthcare's not limiting his public talking time resulted in my lacking the beginnings of a once in a life time speaker from South Africa.

The the third "I" downside was he felt we wanted "all" the knowledge he had so diligently researched. It was extra information than might be shared in the allotted time. So he tried to cram it down our brains. Had he given it a bit of thought, he may need pared it all the way down to crucial and given the remaining as a handout.
