I've seen, obviously, patients with debilitating keloids. What does it look like after the treatment?

I think what's amazing to me is I just think there's too many people that don't know this. I think there's too many people that are walking around suffering either from something that's cosmetically upsetting, like a huge keloid, especially on a visible part of their body. Obviously, everybody listening can relate to some nagging injury, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow.

Yeah, this is definitely an area where we are way far behind.

I'm hopeful that people listening to this, so if there's a million people listening to us have this discussion, and one in seven of them, let's just say one in 10 of them, at some point in the next couple of years are going to experience the type of injury that would benefit from this, how can they go about finding They can't all come to Houston to see you. I'm trying to get you to move to Austin.

Well, I think at the end of the day, look, I don't think patients will have any patience for turf wars. Yes, that's true. And so if I'm a patient, every doctor needs to be a fiduciary. They need to put my interest ahead of their interest.

But again, I mean, for Medicare to improve something is a huge bar. How are you getting Medicare to approve this? Are they basically acknowledging that, well, hey, if Europe's been doing this for 100 years and it's working, like, what's their bar?
