And that kind of requires me to do a little bit more.

So I was actually helping run the front desk.

So I get a lot of the phone calls.

So this particular weekend, I have a surgeon on call and he's a new doctor.

He's maybe been out of residency for like nine months, salt the earth, one of the most humble, kind surgeons I've ever met.

Yeah, they have a little bit, but I'm pretty fortunate.

I work with a lot of really, really good people and he was just the best and was so kind to all of his patients.

So he's on call and he gives me a phone call and I answered at the front desk and he's like, Hey, I have an inguinal hernia downstairs and I just am waiting for the scan.

And I said, okay, that sounds great.

I'll get stuff ready.

And inguinal hernias are a dime a dozen.

We do them all the time.

Where is that?

They're mostly in men because it's in your groin area.

Oh, there goes the light.

Ah.

So they're kind of in the inguinal area because men's spermatic cord actually goes through your peritoneum.

So sometimes that hole can get bigger and things can get down in there.

So I'm kind of like regular case, no worries.

And he calls me back and I'm like, we ready to go?
