  • It was a good meeting. I got a lot of information, but I wanted a little more detail and I wanted to ask more, a little bit more, a couple more questions, but the doctor cut it off. I guess he had another appointment. But thank you. Basically, it was a very good appointment and meeting. Bye-bye.
