Urologists now, if a man comes in with erectile dysfunction, many insurance companies will not pay unless they have like a urinary problem or a prostate problem or something like that.
And so we even see the problems in actually the FDA.
We just did a big panel, right, about women's hormone therapy.
The FDA this month is going to be doing a panel on men's hormone therapy because there actually are very similar problems
challenges and problems within the men's health world.
And so I want people to keep an open mind because we love to say like, oh, women have it horrible and men have it great.
They actually don't when it comes to sexual health.
It's just better than it's just 30 years ahead in women's health.
But it's far less than the cardiology researcher, the orthopedic researcher, you know, the sexual medicine urologist.
Like we're still kind of low in the pecking order than like your cancer doctors and like your reconstructive doctors and things like that.
Sorry, friends.
I know, you know, they're not listening anyway.
It's OK.
What is exciting you most about the future?
What innovations?
I am just excited to be alive in 2020.
Like, I can't believe this year has happened, right?
Like to live in a time when the box labeling gets removed on hormone therapy.
Like I'd never in my life thought I would be alive to see it.
And yet to be on stage getting to help announce it, like my wildest dreams couldn't have dreamt something like that.
