I read that China has this robotic hospital.
Praise the Lord.
These robots are not going to dismiss women.
If you tell a robot, sex hurts, I stay in bed, I end up in the emergency room.
Every time I have my period, the robot will not call you crazy.
The robot will say, you probably have endometriosis, but let's work it up.
Very good question.
So PCOS is the most common hormone disorder in women in the reproductive age.
The most common.
So we're not talking about some rare diagnosis, number one.
It affects 15% of women in this country.
If you go to Middle Eastern countries, that number can go north of 20%.
Studies show that 70% of these patients are never diagnosed.
I tell you today that that number is over 90%.
Majority of these patients are never diagnosed or even when they're diagnosed, they're not being treated correctly.
I listen to podcasts on PCOS where doctors come and whoever's interviewing them ask them, so what do we do for PCOS?
And the answer is we give birth control.
That's not true.
Birth control is just one tiny little aspect of the entire treatment plan.
And that's why patients get frustrated.
