So she's going to be writing up these questions. They were included on the resident and fellow census and the advanced practice provider census also. So we should have some really interesting data from her in the future. But she had asked us if we would include them on the census as part of a grant she received, and we were happy to do so.

But it would have been interesting to know if this is spiraling out of control because we all stopped knowing how to behave when we stayed home from COVID for too long, or if this has always been the case. We do have older data on sexual harassment of women urologists back from the 2017 census. We asked those questions. It may have been 2018.

I may have my data wrong, but it was one of those two years we asked about sexual harassment. But it was specifically just sexual harassment. It wasn't specifically patient driven sexual harassment. So this is really interesting data. And I hope we're able to get follow up data in five years on this to see hopefully we're moving the trend in the right direction.

Well, and as we hop on the Dr. Krauser bandwagon, we've been teaching a course on burnout at the annual meeting. And a couple of years ago, we shifted the focus from burnout to wellness. And we added Dr. Krauser as an additional faculty member. And she actually helped us develop these questions for the census.

So it's funny that we all mentioned her, but she does deserve a lot of credit because she was involved in getting these questions on the census this year. Yeah.

Well, and wearing loops too, right? As a pediatric urologist, we know that the traditional loops are terrible for your neck. There is a lot of concern that the ergonomics of the instrumentation for laparoscopic and robotic surgery is particularly poorly designed for smaller surgeons, which includes a lot of women. I'm a smaller surgeon myself with smaller hands.

And so I think one of the concerns was to really understand the impact of the instrument design. I know we don't get into it that much, deeply on this census, but the impact of those instrumentations on women. And as we see, the women had higher rates of ergonomic injury. Great.
