What procedure did you have today sir? I had an angiogram. Could you tell us about your experience of this procedure? I was anxious about it at first but I got reassurance from the doctors that it's fine, they do hundreds and hundreds a day and to be truthful it wasn't that bad experience as what I thought it was going to be. Is there anything that you would want to tell a prospective patient who's going to have this procedure? Just relax and just do what they say and go with the flow and it's fairly straightforward and you'll be out in a jiffy. And was there anything that you experienced during the procedure which was unexpected? No, just hotness sometimes. In my never regions it was weird. It was quite strange. So that's from the dye that we give that can cause a warm or burning sensation. But it was down. Yeah, in your bladder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And is there anything that you would tell a prospective patient to prepare for this procedure? Just relax, because I think it's all part of, as the doctor said, it's all part of the plan, all part of what they use. So, but no, no, everything's good. And did you, last question, did you experience any pain during the procedure? No, no, no pain. Thank you.
