Yeah, but that should be standard of care.

So these patients are still getting cut because it's so big from their belly button all the way down, vertical incision, which is traumatic.

It would be traumatic to me.

And these patients have six to eight weeks of recovery, have to stay in the hospital for two, three days.

I

lost my outpatient privileges at Cedars because I haven't done surgery at Cedars.

I do it in the outpatient Cedars.

So it's because you really, if you train these doctors well, they don't need to take their patients in the hospital.

And quality of care will go up.

The problem right now is when you're busy running around delivering babies all night, I used to deliver 80 babies a month.

When I was pregnant with my first daughter, Delara, who you met at Stanford, I delivered 82 patients when I was 34 weeks pregnant.

Until one night, my husband used to drive me to the hospital.

I had my pillow and a blanket in the car.

One time when I was running at one in the morning, I fell on the lawn and my husband was like, you can't do this anymore.

And that's when I started cutting back.

But my point is, take that doctor who's... I was up all night.

Then I would come to my office the next day like nothing happened that night.

And now I had 30, 40 patients on my schedule, GYN patients.

How can you catch that endo patient?

How can you...
