Thank you also to @AGSJournal for publishing our work, to @dandohan for his mentorship, @landonjhaller for his help recruiting patients, and @geri_doc @Dan_Matlock @wjdeardorff @prepareforcare & James Harrison for helping me think through all we heard.

I am extremely grateful to the residents who were willing to talk with me. We will be printing copies of this manuscript and sharing it with them.
