And so I've been...

um, kind of mission driven.

Like I was a weirdo in high school that said, I want to be an MS doc.

And I sought out my education in a very directed fashion, really just with the goal of like educating and empowering and energizing families impacted by MS because somebody should have done that for my family and I can't help them.

You know, they've passed on, but then if I can help someone else's family, that really fills a bucket for me.

And I was, I don't know, I think it was like 2015, um,

And I was in clinic with my fellow, I was training this fellow, and someone didn't show up and I got all pissed off.

And so I handed him my phone and I said, record this.

And I just recorded what I was going to say to the patient.

You may have like rushed through traffic or you may be really scared or who knows.

So if I can convey that same snippet of information and put it on the interwebs, then you can watch it like at three in the morning in your bathrobe.

That's the right time for you.

And sometimes with MS, like, you know, you might not take it all in the first time.

So then you can watch it again.

And it just seems like a really solid way of trying to convey information in a meaningful fashion.

So...

It's a really interesting point you bring up.

Until very recently, 2019, we thought that there were about 400,000 people in the United States with MS.

And it wasn't until 2019 when there were some proper epidemiologic studies done in the United States that they realized that we were really wrong.

And there's a million people in the United States alone that have MS.
