When you're looking at comparable data.... I'll go back to that just for a minute. I don't want to pursue the concept of that. When we look at the changes in wait times, undeniably they are there. The piece that is always hard to find is the narrative around the outcome. Are we simply doing more faster? Are people doing well at home, or are they coming back in faster as a result of moving through surgery more quickly? The challenge that I don't think we ever solved through data is the outcome part, other than the outcome being that we completed the surgery. But we don't know the quality of the outcome or the narrative that goes around it. Is there any way to get at that?
