My patients call

me Tinkle Bell, mostly because I'm very good at making them tinkle, as especially my VAD patients say.

Sorry, that doesn't need to be edited, right? That's a good word.

So it has been a whirlwind of a year.

I'm actually looking forward to this.

We have Linda, obviously, about 32 hours.

You're officially taking the crown.

Maybe touch on a few of those things and how you navigated them and how that worked out.

Um, does a professional will, does it look different for, like, a solo practitioner versus a group practitioner? I imagine there's probably some nuances there.

There are some differences.

For solo, you are alone, um, and, and nobody else probably knows who your clients are and how to find them and knows your system and your billing and your access and all of those things.

So those clients are really in particu- at particular risk for being abandoned and not having anyone.

Even if your family or your friends have the best of intentions, they c- they don't know who or how to, to notify.

So those folks are really at risk, and it is incumbent on solo practitioners to have a very clear plan outlined and who identify who is going to help you with this.

Um, group practices, it depends.

So is it always like a mental health provider that takes over?
