The prompt
Fictional and illustrative. You are a hospital doctor applying for a strategy role at a clinic chain in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and this is your case. One of the chain's clinics has growing waiting lists. It has 6 doctors, each working 8 hours a day and seeing 4 patients an hour. About 216 patients need an appointment each day. Routine cases such as repeat prescriptions and simple follow-ups are about 1 in 6 of them. What would you do?
