I think you escape it through being educated through the consumer voice. Uh, I think it may have been you at the Senate that said like, we have the ability to fight back through our choices in our pocketbooks. You know, we know that mothers control most of a family's healthcare.

Get a second opinion. That's where I was going earlier. How quick do we... You take time if you're going to remodel your house. You interview contractors.

You look at their work. You understand them and their character. Why would you not do that with somebody who's controlling your health? Like this is your one time, your one shot at living a healthy life is right now the bodies we have. We never get another one.

So take the time to find a great clinician that cares, that's passionate, that wants to help you, that will do the deep dive, that will have the conversation.
