It's a very upstream healthcare model.

Prevention, recognition.

I mean, you know your patient's personality so well that if it changes, it's a red flag.

Whereas if they got injured and went to an ER, how on earth could anyone in that facility know that?

They don't have...

The blessing or the benefit of having that kind of connection to their patient and so I recognize that it definitely puts us in a unique position to assess in a way that others don't have the ability to do.

Yeah.

You kind of alluded to CTE as perhaps the answer to this, but I want to pull at that thread a little bit more.

What is something you wish people, the general population or athletes specifically, what is something you wish that they understood better about concussion as we understand it in 2026?

Yeah, I think it's definitely amazing the pace with which we've seen the improvement.

I used to say that other than congestive heart failure and concussion, everything else would benefit from exercise, and I've since had to correct that.

You could even argue that congestive heart – appropriate exercise –

I mean, it's what we used to say in modality.

It's like we're not causing healing.

We're optimizing the healing environment.

We're letting the body do what the body does to recover.

And we used to think, well, photophobia, put them in a dark room, minimize blood pressure.

If it's a hemorrhage issue, we're concerned about a bleeder, then we want them...

you know, laying flat on a bed in a dark room for as long as it takes for their symptoms to resolve.

But the body's resilient and it responds to the oxygen that comes from movement and from just the physiological processes that are oftentimes made better through activity.
