And yeah, no, I can imagine that would be quite stressful when you- you're operating on your, on your friend

So how do we deal, how do we deal with it, with, with, with, with patients? You know, I've, I've had lots of injuries, I've had lots of surgeries, and, and I broke my neck in 1996 or 1998.

I can't remember.

I try and forget the, the exact date.

And I was lying there in the hospital bed in the spinal injuries unit, and my choices were to have surgery with a good success rate, but the risk, albeit small, the risk of paralysis in a wheelchair, or I could be treated non-operatively with bed rest, traction, and then the risks of bedsores, urinary tract infections, mental health, depression from being immobile.

And, and I remember I couldn't make the decision.

It was 10 days after the injury.

So, um, yeah, as I say, as you go through the process and you're ticking off these criteria with actual figures, that's confidence building for the, for the player.
