If someone's listening, watching, and they're. They're just kind of understanding what TPE is, could you, I guess, describe it in a way that's almost empowering? Because I know some of it could be a little bit overwhelming or a big commitment. You know, how would you frame it to someone who's just kind of learning about it from a nurse who's literally doing it daily?
I really think it's empowering because. And this is how I talk to people, it is a procedure. You're not going in for surgery, but it is a procedure, and some people are quite concerned about it, like, rightfully so. I think if you come into having a plasma exchange knowing that it is a procedure and you have to take it seriously, that's great. It's not just like going to a med spot and getting hooked up to an iv. That's. That's not it. But it is an empowering thing that you can do to proactively change your life.
