We're seeing some interesting headway being made in telehealth or use of other technologies to diagnose early, to stabilize prior to having to leave. Absolutely, it's a challenge not having health care professionals in the community to stabilize whatever is required remotely and to diagnose and treat. Frankly, it's a disincentive to even go in the first place—why am I going to go to the nursing station, they're just going to tell me to get on a plane or go; or they can't do anything for me, the nurse doesn't know how to deal with this; or maybe they will not even be here today, they'll be here in two days, depending. Certainly, access is a critical issue.
