It's fun.

It's nice to see you for sure.

So, all right.

You know, to be honest with you, there are so many questions around all of this.

So let's start with these new guidelines.

So the new guidelines are basically saying, you know, different levels of high blood pressure.

And, you know, to be honest with you, embedded in my mind, you know, for years was the idea of, okay, well,

The normal blood pressure is 120 over 80.

Thank you very much.

All right.

So give us your perspective on these new guidelines and what it means going forward.

So, you know, I was in the cardiovascular unit.

I'll never forget a conversation I had with my son about blood pressure.

And we were talking.

I said, you know, 120 over 80.

milligrams of mercury.

And he looked at me like, what are you talking about that millimeters of, of mercury?

To me, quite honestly, this whole idea of, you know, obviously that's how it's measured, but I just wonder whether that in and of itself adds to the overall

or possible confusion.

It's like, what the hell is 120 over 80 or 115 over 78?
