And one of the keys that sort of not publishable, because it’s kind of hard to put in a publication is that… I think it was, a nurse practitioner was just a fantastic human being, exemplary, the best you could possibly have.

I remember as a fellow, I would come in and our nurse practitioner on our hospice team, I would say the word narcotics, and f or half an hour, she would just lay into me.
