Well, this isn't rocket science.

It's just, you know, understanding how the body works.

And surgeons are great at like cutting and leaving them.

It's like boom, boom, you're done.

Not anymore.

And what's really interesting is that, you know, you can ask a surgeon, what do I do after surgery?

They almost don't even have an answer for you most of the time.

and don't lift heavy things, or don't do this.

It was like all the don'ts, not what the do's are.

Not the do's, but the don'ts.

And I was like, wow.

You also do other things to advise patients.

You mentioned red light therapy, and there's other modalities.

What else do you use in terms of helping recovery?

Yeah.

And I think this kind of holistic view of surgery ceremony, of preparing patients before, of how the environment is and how you do it and the post-op care, which is quite different, it's important.

But I just want to touch on something I know you know about and I want to dive in because people don't think about this when it comes to surgery.

And it's going to sound very crass and you probably heard this in medical school, but

You remember those patients you'd operate on and their tissues would just fall apart?

Like you try to like sew them and you're in the wound or in the surgical field.
