The problem is in medicine, there are a lot of diagnoses that we don't have that one perfect test for. And I think I was just talking to my friend this week about how in pediatrics, I think it's even a little bit different because we're not relying on what the patient is telling us. In some cases, we're relying on what the parent is telling us.

The question is if they're eating and they're doing okay is the difference because there are kids who are not supposed to be taking oral or whatever and they'll get in trouble, right?

Most parents don't want a G-tube. And in fact, I've been involved with lots of ex-preemies where they needed a G-tube for growth and development and the parents so wanted them to eat from a bottle. you know, and they were begging, can we do anything but the G-tube?

And it's like, you can take some from up or you had cancer in your neck and
