And at this point, the majority of people have had at least one experience or more in a year with telemedicine. It's become a part of a lot of people's lives. And if it goes away, you know, there's still going to be health care as it is. I mean, it doesn't mean health care is going away, but it is going to put a tremendous burden on patients and hospitals, for that matter, across the country.

Yeah. You know, I might just add to that, that aside from all the things we mentioned about it, how, you know, it helps people in rural areas, people with difficulty getting places or just really busy schedules. It also, you know, helps free up hospital beds. It helps prevent emergency rooms from being overwhelmed. It leads to faster testing. It leads to a higher number of people that we can see.

And in terms of its quality, we know it works well, but, And about 90% of cases of telemedicine, they get the same outcomes if the patient was there in clinic. And that 10%, that's not, it's not clear that they're getting inferior care in most of those cases. So it's an effective treatment. And you could make an argument that it is cost effective in some ways too.

It's particularly clearly for like things like dermatology, pediatrics. These are things where it's clearly cost effective to have it. But even beyond that, it's not even necessarily, I think a strong argument that we'll be losing money from it and that cutting it would help us in the long run. I feel like we're being smart about how to manage American healthcare system and how to keep it afloat.

Telemedicine is going to be an important part of that going forward.

I would add also, you know, we're seeing this active dismantling of the U.S. healthcare infrastructure. And our friends in the academic world in particular, it's a very stressful time for them. Who knows if their studies are going to go through? Who knows if they're going to get their funding? Who knows what's going to stay, what's going to go in the next couple of years.

There's a lot of concern over that, obviously. But even in the medical world outside of the academic centers, I know a lot of doctors right now are concerned. And they're concerned about what's going to happen to the state of our scientific community that helps us with new advancements in medical technology in the coming years. And it seems like, as Venkatesh was alluding to,
