I would have been here last Thursday, but my dad was having, playing the game of, Hey, let's have a heart attack for a week and then finally go to the VA. And it doesn't hurt you yet. And so, well, Well no, actually it's really good. He got up to the VA, so they drove up from Eugene, while he was like, Oh, I'm having neck pain. And went to the VA, They got him into the emergency room, and they got him into a room, And the next morning, he was having stints in. The doctor's putting in the stitches. He said, yeah, we're going to put in two stints. They put in two stints. And then he was out the next day right as well. But he's like, now he has to be watched, because they didn't put him all the way out. He's like looking at the x-ray as they're watching him go in. It's like an artery spider. And then they put the stint in. Oh, now it's the size of a green bean, instead of like, All right, never mind. It wasn't going to be the opposite. He's 78. The doctor comes in, and they give him all his meds that he's supposed to take. This one's just for a year. And then these. He's like, how long do I take this? It's like, well, you take it forever unless you want to see me stop. He's like, done. Yeah, no, the Portland VA is one of the highest rated in the entire system. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. When I was up there, all of my doctors were like, Yeah, the doctor that operated him was like one of the higher-end cardiologists. Well, it's because they're like, I think what they like to do in their faculty, right, is make them look so good at it. And then they're like, oh, this is a really interesting case. And nobody can say no to them. 28 years old, not obese. No personal diabetes, none of that shit. Just a simple in and out.
