And then when they can afford it, they're usually in their late 30s or 40s and their quality is down.

That's why these podcasts are a game changer, because if they don't have access, that's why artificial intelligence, AI, these robotic chat bots that hopefully can someday diagnose these patients and treat them, you know, from home without having them have to drive, I don't know, four hours to see an OBGYN who will then also dismiss their symptoms.
