Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So in terms of how Dr. Bolognese shows up in this case, in the lawsuit, he is very much presented as a respected neurosurgeon who first evaluates Madison in 2019.

So it also says that he ruled out any signs of medical child abuse. So this is something that comes up a lot in these cases. And I will say there are several other doctors that are named as sort of ruling out or not seeing signs.

And this is one of those things that like, I mean, I remember when I had had an MRI, when I had one of my, again, not super serious, but like one of my back injuries and And I found out that I have like a genetic thing where there's too many nerves like in one bundle.
