Thanks. Great. Well, thank you, Tiger. Tiger was really the first one to discover us. I lost my way, spent 25 years in interventional cardiology making stents and balloons and all kinds of things like that. Go easy on me on the orthopedic side here. But I thought what I'd do is, is a bit of a semi-random walk, just some quick slides that will give you an idea of not just what we do, but the challenges we face and ideally, you know, stimulate some discussion.
