And a very, very dear colleague of mine and neighbor turns out that many mental health patients are showing up in the ER where they aren't treated for ER oriented things, but they need to stay there because they have nowhere else to go. So, I mean, talk about a mental health issue. Oh my goodness. All right. So all these things kind of meld together. So stay tuned for that for our next show.

So for our listening audience, Thank you for coming to this particular show, listening in. Again, it's the first of three. And keep health chatting away.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today's episode is on asthma, and we're adding a little bit of a sidebar that everybody has been interested in of late, and that's air quality, okay? Because, boy, I don't know about you, but Sometimes when I'm going outside lately, I've been coughing and maybe we can get some insights on that from our great guests. We'll introduce her in a minute.

We have, if our listening audience has heard some of our great shows, Clarence and I can't do this by ourselves. And we've got a crew that really is second to none. We've got three great researchers that do some good background research for us.

They don't get everything because that's why we have illustrious guests, but they give us enough to really chew on and provide some good insights as we talk in our chat together. So we've got Maddie, Levine, Wolf, Aaron Collins, Deandra Howard. Together, they're a trifecta second to none. Matthew Campbell is our production manager, puts all the logistics together.
