Some of the question, I'm being specific because I want the answers because I don't want when we continue the hearing when we have people testifying in here different and you're already gone and then we still have to figure it out and send you a question.

That's the reason I have to keep on asking you those questions.

Like I said when we were talking we are hoping that everything we ask you you're gonna be perfect on point with them because that's what we expected from H and H especially public hospital in New York City.
