But it's like, oh, I got to walk my daughter down the aisle nine years after I was diagnosed with a terminal cancer.

That's just the most incredible thing for me.

Man, that has to feel amazing.

It's incredible.

It's incredible.

And it's sort of like it'll really drive you to want to keep doing it, right?

Because it's an experience when you hear about any one of these things where you're like, I just want to do this for more people.

And so it's this combination of when you can help people like that, that means so much.

And of course, in my case, every day I breathe, I can remember what it was like.

But the other thing is that

there's also all this suffering happening right now in the world.

And there's people, as you mentioned, getting diagnosed with this disease and that disease.

And every day, Sean, I'm hearing from a patient with a horrible condition or many of them.

And so you sort of juxtapose like all of the incredible hope that you get from all the people you can help

And then all of the people who are suffering right now from horrible diseases.

And that's just true enough to say, like, we've got to make sure that all the drugs that we've got that are there's about 4000 drugs are FDA approved.

We've got to make sure every one of them is used for every disease they can possibly treat.

So that way, these people suffering over here, if there's a drug for them, we got to get it to them.

And it's not that I believe, Sean, that every patient with every disease could be treated with an existing drug.

I don't believe that's the case.
