Ronan, it's become sort of a thing in today's health care that patients trust other patients in terms of what they're saying about the treatments they've had. Why do you think that's the case? I think there's a trust with someone that's actually gone through and has actually experienced what has happened to them. And I think it's a case of patients still have this thing with doctors that whatever doctors say, it goes. They won't vary from that. I think what we need to do is to educate patients to take responsibility for their own health. Absolutely, I do. Absolutely, I agree with you there. That's why we're trying to develop and facilitate pro-patients who have educated themselves, know a lot about the disease, and are able to share A, their experiences, and B, their knowledge with other patients. Absolutely.
