Well, you know, on the provider side, you know, maybe two or three times a year, feeling reasonably well-trained in ureteroscopy over the course of my residency and fellowship, I'll do a stone case. And I always really appreciate the endourologist, too, who I think really hold themselves accountable to doing their level best with the stone because...

in my opinion not having this as my passion and my livelihood you know sometimes just chipping away at that little fella and if it's a hard hard stone having that What's the word I'm looking for here? That committedness to dust it, if that's the route that you're going to go, or to take 55 trips up to get those little fragments out with your basket du jour. It really is a commitment.

It can be time consuming. You're also kind of eyeballing what's a clinically significant fragment. I have a caliper there that's saying that little fragment's 2.3 millimeters and this one's 1.6. So I think there's a lot of human nature. You know, if it's your birthday, it's a Friday and you want to get out of there and you're just chiseling away. Maybe you say, you know what?

Those, those stones should pass.

Those, those stones should pass.

So I think the fragment and basket retrieval, that's laborious. Dusting, I think that opens itself to quite a bit of interpretation. And dare I say that this kind of dilemma is what led to your interest in how do we do better?

Yeah, please do. I mean, I'm sure you weren't like, these are the, like you go get like a Hoover and make it teeny tiny and stick it on the back of a scope. Like.

Yeah, that's cool. I mean, some just general question. I'm sure this was like in the early science days, like there's got to be like a millimeters of mercury suction pressure where you collapse the whole system and create hickeys in the calyces. Did those things happen? And how did you actually... visualize what was like taking place.
