You mentioned the postpartum, which is like, you know, how long has that been in the making? Right. Oh my gosh, a decade maybe. Right. It's been.

I would say breast cancer screening again, making sure that women with dense breasts get optional screenings so that if there is cancer there, that we can detect it. (22:37–22:41)
