I had an angiogram today. So there's a couple of questions I want to ask. First of all, could you tell us about the experience of this procedure, your experience of this procedure? I found it, because I'd had one done before, I already knew what was going to happen but it was very straightforward, there was no pain and I I found that the procedures and the explanation of them gave me great confidence that it was going to be, everything was going to be alright. Is there anything you would tell a prospective patient about the procedure? I think the main thing is that anyone coming here, they are worried about what is going to be found, but the team here have absolute confidence in what they do, they do it many times every day, and because they are doing it, they have become very experts at it, so So their confidence in what they're doing, their explanation, actually takes away the worries of it. So you, of course there's naturally some apprehension, but you don't need to worry, they know exactly what they're doing. Okay. And lastly sir, was there anything you experienced which was unexpected? there was the care of the whole team, I think it is very important, the nurses, the smiles they give you, and their confidence in what they are doing, makes it, reassures you and I think that's the most important thing.
