everyone's ureters are a little bit different. We treat them all the same, right? I mean, we've all learned and we all do it pretty much the same, but I think we're going to find that, you know, not everybody's ureter is the same and we do have to treat them very differently.
Yeah, it's true. And it is hard because we have so many patients with so many social issues and we don't know how to do that either. Right. I mean, it's hard whenever it's the middle of the night, you get called in, you're like, I'm just trying to do my job here. And the patient throws at you a lot of things that are really important. But how do you how do you prioritize all those things?

And I don't know. I don't have a good answer either. But I do know that the longer I go in my career, the more I realize that. All these patients are really different and there are some really hard problems for us to try to solve. So I'm hoping your younger generation, like I hope you figure out how to make the healthcare system better.

Yeah, it's a separate box and a separate monitor. So it is a little bit, I will say that the vision on it, I think is a little bit better than the original LithoView. It has a pretty big monitor. It's a little bit bigger than kind of the original LithoView monitor. But off to the side, it has a pressure monitor on it and you can see it real time.

You can make some settings on it where it'll change colors if you're going high. I think there might even be a bell on it. I'm not sure. I turn off all the sound on it because I don't really want to hear that. But I think they told me that. But whenever you start, you pull the scope out and you have to actually calibrate it.

So you have to set it in water and kind of swirl it around once you plug it in and it Really walks you through that, but it takes about five or 10 seconds to do that. But really similar. They do have a couple of different buttons on the front that allow you to do a little bit easier recording and taking pictures and some personalized settings on that that they've updated.

But all in all, it handles very similar. I didn't really notice a big difference between them. I think between all of the disposable scopes, I think all of them handle pretty well. I always make the joke they kind of feel a little Fisher-Price, right? Like they feel very cheap and plasticky.

The LithoView Elite does feel a little bit more substantial in your hand than the original one, but I still think they all kind of feel a little more plasticky than kind of your reusable scope where you really feel that bulk in your hand that feels very steady.
