And honestly, that's why being on a podcast with you like this, I think is so important.
Because when we find these drugs, we got to get the word out to people.
And being able to work with people like you and others to get it out is literally a tweet, a social media post can be the difference between life and death for someone.
Yeah.
These are what we do.
The closest to that is a website called UpToDate.
And the idea is that the world's expert for every disease enters that in and keeps it up to date.
That's why it's called UpToDate.
So that's sort of the theoretical place.
However, sometimes when you use a drug like they were using data 2 for that rare condition or using that TNF network for data 2,
If it's just happening in one part of the country, one part of the world, it may not get into that database for up to date.
It may be that there's sort of debate.
OK, well, it's only been using a couple of people like are we sure there hasn't been a trial done yet.
And so it's not perfect.
Up to date is a really good place.
It's not perfect.
And then the other issue is that, you know, it's updated by individual experts.
And so they might miss things that are here or there.
And it's also not widely available.
Not everyone has access to up to date.
