And you said it's like an epidemic of nurses getting basically beat up at the hospital, right?

Daniel RaffiGUEST
Yeah, certainly, you know, I don't know the statistics, but it seems like it to me, again, certainly my perspective might be biased considering, you know, I'm a traumatic brain injury and spine specialist, right? But from my perspective, it certainly seems like it, or at least nurses and healthcare workers relative to other occupations are suffering traumatic brain injuries and other similar injuries in the workplace relative to other occupations.

Daniel RaffiGUEST
And let me just say this, you know, it was surprising for you because you came across my TikTok, but it's also like equally surprising for me, right? Like I went to, I spent two years studying concussions and traumatic brain injury and how to manage them and the demographics of people that suffer them and so on and so forth.

Daniel RaffiGUEST
I went to the top institutions in the entire world and something that really didn't hit home for me there was was this exact topic, right? Which is this traumatic brain injuries and concussions happening, also the healthcare workers in the workplace as part of their occupation, right? Like I think where we focused on in training and where a lot of people's minds focus on in the general public, and it has a lot to do with the media attention and the subsequent finances and money that comes along with it is in sports, right? So in football, it's a really big trending topic.

Daniel RaffiGUEST
But really, I realized that once I got into private practice and I was on the ground treating not only elite athletes and professional athletes, but then I also had a bunch of nurses coming through the door.
