    Playing with imaginary Legos to put together a rickety tower.

    Edit: though on reflection, a systems approach to nursing the acutely ill is exactly the same but we’re maintaining “God’s” legacy code while we try to keep someone with kidney, heart, and lung problems functioning with judicious application of fluid management, drugs, and dialysis.

    Maybe what we do is closer to Jenga.

      But things get weird when the lego shapes have different sizes and you need to craft adapting pieces?
