Thank you, David.
Thanks for having me.
Well, I suppose when you think about it, two thirds of women have incontinence in Ireland at least.
And it may even be higher than that.
Really?
But it's a case of let's talk about it.
And one patient on that day actually said to me, look, I have to wear a nappy to go for a walk.
And my heart just sank, even though we see patients with it all the time.
It was her message to me.
And I thought, hold on a minute here.
This is ridiculous.
This is crazy.
Women are putting up with this.
So can you imagine putting your nappy on before you go anywhere or go for a walk as a woman?
And so that's why I thought it was really, really important.
And the response I got was just unreal.
So many women are talking about it.
And I think there's so, you know, people out there are thinking, well, actually, that is me or I have to like load myself up with pads.
And, you know, we can't live like this.
Yes, absolutely.
