Maybe describe to us your pathway and why you joined military medicine, but also how your pathway is a little bit different than the one we just heard about.
4:37
Yeah, so kind of my pathway to the military was me as a little kid running around in my uncle's pararescue jumper, you know, military uniform and kind of going outside in the back of the woods with a BB gun, kind of shooting it around, feeling like I was a little kid in the military.
4:52
And then actually like talking to veterans and kind of hearing about what being in the military actually means of, you know, the importance of service and doing something bigger than yourself.
5:02
And then kind of ending up in medicine and really wanting to put that into the medicine I practiced and kind of doing the HPSP route and kind of going to officer training school and going there and really learning what putting on the uniform and, you know, lacing up all the Medal of Honor recipients and the people that come before you and your bootstraps and taking that into, you know, your clinical rotations and into the OR and anywhere you're going to interact with people.
5:26
And then in medical school, I initially thought I wanted to do vascular surgery because that was one of the first things that I'd been introduced to with a lot of the endovascular procedures.
5:36
And I did a lot of rotations and really found, like John Pavlus was saying, the future of medicine as opposed to these big open surgeries that we previously were doing, being able to do so much with a small stick in the groin or the wrist.
5:49
And then ending up doing a surgery prelim year out at Travis and UC Davis, and then really finding that what I liked was a lot of the endovascular aspects of care, as opposed to a bunch of the open aspects.

Now Jonathan, do you have a lot of experience in helping develop the system and understanding the process to make a system like this work and sort of what the components are that would make an effective system where someone can say, okay, we have a bleeding patient and within 60 minutes they're going to be in the whatever room and they're going to be getting a procedure done to stop that bleeding.
