So today's subject is health and travel, which it's kind of interesting because in my estimation, during the COVID pandemic, when it was at its height, there were really travel implications as it related to health, and in this case, COVID, And it was interesting, all the different things that you had to be aware of when you were traveling. But there are other things as well.

So our crew is going to be talking about travel and health today. Every one of us has done some traveling, whether it's in the United States or overseas. And it really is interesting when, if you just think about packings, You know, when you pack and get ready to go, you know, what kind of health-oriented things are in your mind? You know, Barry, you're probably a good one on this one.

You know, it's like when you go overseas, you know, it's one thing to be vaccinated. And then how do you show proof that you have been? So to be honest with you, it certainly was heightened during COVID where you had an actual card with you that indicated your vaccinations. But other vaccinations, like I can tell you right now, I don't have any kind of a card or a certificate. Right.

Um, you know, I, I keep thinking about, um, you know, overall, you know, like when, for instance, if you go overseas and, um, and Barry, I'm sure you can respond to that there. When, when people take medications, um, you know, you can call it medication management, but think of it this way.

It's like when you go over, you know, five, six, seven, eight time zones, and you're supposed to take your medication in the morning and in the evening. Okay. So, you know, based on your experience, what do you tell patients to do? What do you tell them to do in order to I guess, adjust when you take medication? Or do you keep on the same time frame so your body doesn't get totally out of whack?

Yeah, that's a great idea.

So, you know, I here's another tidbit. And I ran into this problem. I was just going out east. This was about a month or so ago. A friend of mine drops me off at the airport. I said, you know, I said, Forrest, thanks for the lift. I walked into the, and he took off. I walked into the airport and I realized I did not have my mobile phone. I left my mobile phone at home.

It's just like, do you have an idea how much you are dependent on that little device to in order to navigate God knows what. And so this is what I highly recommend. In your wallet, have a card with five or six phone numbers on it. Because to be honest with you, I don't even remember phone numbers anymore. Everything is, you know, speed dialed, etc.

And what you should know is when you go to the airport, And if you run into that problem, like I did, if you go to the information booth at the airport, they have a regular phone and you can call somebody. OK, they also all airports have courtesy phones as well. But you have to know which number you're going to call. And if you don't remember them, you're in trouble.
