Okay, to start out with, the nurses was fantastic. Number two, Dr. John Bracey is a doctor none other, like any other. He was most courteous. He listened and somewhat agreed with me sometimes. But he is a person, a doctor that you'd always want to go to every time something happened. Super, super good guy. I was really impressed. And I hope I get to see him again. But anyway, super, super good doctor. Thank you.
