been in a terrible accident, you know, and you're seeing some pretty horrific things, I would imagine. And even first responders that are responding to just a healthcare crisis, you know, their job is to save that person's life. And if they are unable to do that, that in and of itself can be trauma inducing, because again, That's what they're trained to do is to save them.

Their outcome, their good outcome is for that person to live. Our good outcome is for the person to die comfortably, peacefully, and for their family to be prepared for that and not experience... suffering through watching that unfold.

Right. And I would wonder too, and I don't know any statistics, but with first responders, how many of their patients actually die and how many of them survive? What's the ratio there? For us, we do have people that survive hospice, but it's a pretty low number. And almost all of them are still terminally ill. They're going to come back to us.

Right. So... our ratio of death is much higher. And it is, like I said, it's the expected outcome. And we accept that. We accept that's going to happen. And so it's easier for us to not be traumatized when that happens. And there are things that can happen with the human body where you're like, whoa, I didn't know that could happen.

And you could consider that a little bit traumatizing to know that that's possible to have tumors that are coming out of a person's body leaking fluids everywhere or a catastrophic bleed out can be, you know, pretty traumatic. But they're not as common, you know, in the whole scheme of things.

you know, we had the shutdown, but my husband and I were still working, but every, everything else was shut down. The grocery stores, the restaurants, the YMCA, where I was working out, he worked nights, I worked days. And so I was super bored. And I heard about Tik TOK and I got on there and totally got sucked in scrolling through.
