Well, Sean, this has been a great discussion. I think we're certainly better off today as a species having a medical discipline that is devoted to pain. We have the luxury of caring about this now. There was a time when just not dying was the highest priority. And now we need more than that. It's not just that we don't want to die. It's that we want to be able to live pain-free.

Not to be confused with discomfort-free. I'm still a big proponent of discomfort, as I'm sure are you. We should be out there working out hard, experiencing discomfort. But chronic pain can be inflammatory to the psyche. And it's not something I would wish on anybody. So it's great to know that since my time as a patient there, that department has increased log fold.

And I hope that's true and trust that it's true around the country. So thanks for the work you're doing.
