I always consider it to be an honor and a privilege and I recognize that I'm in a good place if the person's talking to me, yeah, and I think I saw some data, some number somewhere that says you know of people who die by suicide, don't have a mental health history, they have no experience with the mental health system. And so I get to do that thing that we love in medicine, which is to improve the quality of life.
