So we're here at the most powerful women's summon and there's a lot of talk about gender diversity but you really don't hear much talk about it as it relates to the medical field. So you were a surgeon, you know, to what degree do you think it's an issue in the medical field, gender diversity? When I entered medicine, it was really when affirmative action was addressing the fact that there weren't enough women in medical schools so I was one of those lucky women who got to ride the curve. And say, okay, we're here and we're here to stay. And ended up being the first female head and neck cancer surgeon in the country, which really was and still is a boys club. But if you look at medical schools today, more than 50 % of the populace is now women. But now we've gone beyond that to say okay now we have to look at. Color. And countries of origin, because the cultures we bring from other countries affect how we take care of patients at the bedside. And I think our next big hurdle will be not just in clinical medicine, but in how now do we get women into the labs. Into IT, into artificial intelligence. And push the boundaries of science in a way that hasn't been done before. And there's all kinds of studies that show the bottom line benefits when you do those kinds of things in business. Is that also true in the medical field, do you think? Totally, I mean, women approach Patients differently, they approach problems differently. And I think we're team leaders in different ways.
