Doctors often can be dismissive if not sort of shown the way that this is a true phenomenon and they have to understand it.

And it's not automatically a psychological condition.

So, yeah, it was it was a very sort of moving experience helping Paul with that element of his talk.

And, yeah, I think that's where John and I sort of kind of almost touched base, wasn't it?

Yeah, I mean, I think there's a natural response to any event.

So if a bereavement, you might have bereavement reaction.

If you have a traumatic event, specifically a significant one, you know, the Japanese people who are involved in Fukushima, they may have had PTSD, etc.

So these events are real.

These events produce an event.

such as PTSD or an anxiety or depression, you would classify those patients with those conditions.

You wouldn't say they were psychotic.

Likewise, if someone sees an unusual thing in the sky, who says it's not military?

Okay, I saw an orb.

It was something.

As a doctor, you could say, well, okay, it could have been something, maybe it was anomalous, but maybe it was something explainable, but it still left the patient with a mental health issue or a

some other kind of issue that they then need to resolve and access health services for.

So just take it seriously, take it at face value, open.

Of course, you have to have your, you know, your antennae on if there's a psychological event going on, psychosis, etc.

And there are, you know, there are Schneider's first rank principles about psychosis, schizophrenia and everything else, you know, thought broadcast, thought insertion, all these sorts of things.

And a doctor is well-trained, a GP is well-trained.
