Yeah, Roy Barker 01:14 thank you so much for your time. We've got so many questions. I've got a page full already. But before we jump in too deep, kind of what was your journey? I mean, what what brought you to this space to, you know, to be a gout expert? Spiro 01:28 Well, I'm basically a patient been suffering with guilt since the age of mid 20s 2526 years old. And my story goes, one night, I was out drinking, being young, I was at the bar drinking a lot of whiskey that night, went home. And around 3am, I got struck by a gout attack in the big toe.
