I'm not sure, you know, one of my closest friends, Paul Schellhammer, Well, it was in the OR because he wanted to see robotics. So he was there for this case, and Paul's an absolute gentleman. It kind of shocked him as to how primitive we were. But I think what he told me is, I like the way that you converted him to open.

So Paul became a friend, and he got a robot for Eastern Virginia Medical School much before UCSD got one or UCSF or UT Southwestern.

Yes.

The lenses that we dealt with were called POC, and they were fuzzy, and I couldn't see through them, and I would constantly complain to Intuitive, you need to get me better lenses. You can't send me out to do these cases with these lenses. And they said, oh, no, these are the best lenses known to mankind. Well, now they call them the POC lenses, piece of crap for POC.

But they did get better lenses. The next set of lenses were the Shoei system, which was very good. And then they got the Olympus. And then they got the SI system, or the S system, which was high definition, and the SI. So, I mean, it's very, very different technology. But Maybe it's like a car that you drive today and you compare it to a car that you were driving in the year 2000.

The answer is yes, but there was something that I had meant to touch upon. I'm going to put you on the spot now. No good deed ever goes unpunished, and you've been incredibly gracious. So let's say you were me. You were starting in Michigan, or let's just say you were starting in Michigan. trained with Pat Walsh, and you thought you were a pretty good open surgeon.
