You know, when you're encouraging people that's sick and telling them you have a new technology, and I'm saying the X

Mercedes Narcisse

figure telling people to do that, and you're not ready, and it's not safe to tell you because misdiagnosis is a big deal.

Mercedes Narcisse

In a medical system, and then you using it, telling people openly on X to put their MRI, X-rays, and then thinking that this is a new technology, this is the world safer.

You saving the world, but it's not safe.

But right now.

people are used, utilize the tools, especially the young generation, to expect a definite answer.

Mercedes Narcisse

You know how depressing that can be for a person to think that your extra is wrong, your MI is wrong, and you encourage people to do so?

So that's the frustration.

Mercedes Narcisse

You're supposed to give us answers, but you're not.

Mercedes Narcisse

You're just being here.

I will say some word, but I'm not going to say doing something to my brain.

Thank you.
