This has been particularly painful for all sides.

We among, the physicians, we are a kind of family, and sometimes families have issues that require mediation.

But I am very hopeful that with the mediation, with today's hearing, I think it's always good for things to have an airing and for people to have an opportunity, to talk about the issues.

We we all we all learn from that, and I'm hopeful that we will soon be able, to reach agreement with our physicians.
