I heard it. I saw it and I remember, you know, I learned a lot I learned a lot about my job right then because I what I did is I backed off and I let the doctor come in and Examine them cuz like, you know sometimes when you're dealing with an expert, you don't want to cloud the way You're supposed to get out of the way like you don't go to the mechanic and tell him what to do So I my mind was thinking like that about the doctor and so of course he comes in She doesn't know what she's what she saw so he misguides her and says I think he's worried about this and then she's like Hey, no, nothing's wrong. And I was like, oh man in my mind I was thinking is it's been great being here, but I'm not gonna be doing this anymore Then He made that switch already in your head I swear I was like in my mind I was thinking that I was thinking about how to get out of there when they start throwing stuff Oh, you know the military camp remember they're over there wrestling with the Samoan Yeah, sure you guys trying to get in there and people going crazy and people screaming.
