And unfortunately, sometimes they make a wrong medical decision based on political reasons. And this is what the point that you're bringing up is that maybe at the time it

you know, we would have had a perfect cure and put this to rest. And instead of what was going on at the time with politics and the fact that it can affect his campaign, not only him, but many other politicians that we've seen in the past, they may have made the wrong decisions.

In today's world, if there was any question about his PSA or what we call PSA velocity or the rise of that blood test, there would be MRI all over him. There would be PET scans.
