She's like, Listen, I'm sort of approaching retirement age.
My kids are grown.
If anybody should be taking these risks, it's me.
If I lose my medical license, it's kind of fine.
I was gonna retire.
anyway.
That's not true for a twenty-six year old.
Um, so yeah, I mean I think those those calculations are really tough.
And then the folks who do go and choose to train in these places are not getting the training that they need to really care for these communities safely.
I assume you can edit out the long pause.
Yeah,
And I think I would also be sure to mention that it's incredibly rewarding, gratifying work.
I mean, family planning care, abortion care, you are providing a service that people really need, really want.
And you can do it with your skills, with your own hands in a relatively short amount of time and drastically alter the course of somebody's life in a way that they want.
And that's really empowering for us and for the patient.
So I think if you have sort of the gumption and the sticktuitiveness and the long game vision of what this fight is gonna be.
I there's no field that I would rather work in.
Um, but I think that that's a part of it is there's a lot of you know, certainly when I was younger, I had a lot of impatience around the advocacy.
And I think
telling, you know, younger people and trainees going in, it's gonna be a long haul and a long slog.
