So I'm excited about that.

I'm excited about physician engagement across the board.

I think we have a

I think we have a real vacuum in physician leadership that's kind of led us to where we are in medicine across the board in America.

And I think it's going to take some really, really strong leaders to step up and stand in the gap and start having some really difficult conversations potentially with a lot of different folks to really turn the tide in medicine and make a difference in the future.

But yeah, how are you?

I think a lot of times you see that younger, that younger generation of physicians that are coming out of training, like,

they're one of the biggest voids in leadership because of the fact that, you know, you've had the 80 hour work week limitation.

They're so, they're so focused on, you know, this work life balance that sometimes they forget that, Hey, not everything can be balanced for leaders because leadership is a sacrifice period.

And a lot of times, you know, they just don't, they don't,

The willingness to sacrifice is becoming less and less, I think, in each generation, it seems like.

Well, it's intriguing.

Anesthesia growth is, for the first time in a long time, it's really easy to grow if you can find people.

I literally have probably got no less than five different facilities currently that would love for me to

you know, put in a bid for their coverage.

The problem is not growth.

The problem is finding the manpower to cover the growth.

And so I think for us, the piece we're looking at is how do we find the right people to partner with?

And I think we have to go beyond looking at that commodity provision of anesthesia and start looking at how do we partner with facilities and really make a value add.

we always hear talk about, you know, clinical quality, but again, I think clinical quality, especially in anesthesia, when you look at it's pretty strong across the board, we've got, we've made such advances from a monitoring and from a perioperative pain control and post-op nausea and everything.
