[redacted] I was given an appointment very quickly, which in our healthcare system is remarkable and it makes me very loyal to the provider. And he was just remarkable. He was very direct with me about the procedure I'm facing, but also extremely optimistic and very empathic. And I am grateful. Thank you.
