Oh, look, absolutely delighted. Can't wait to get into the conversation this morning. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Dr. Vimal George

(02:06):
Sure. Yeah. Happy to. So, I'm a family doctor. I live in the city of Austin, Texas. I live here with my wife and two little ones. They're middle schoolers. And I work in a fairly large multi-specialty clinic. Worked my way up to being head of the family medicine section. And then eventually chief of quality where I was overseeing some population health programs, and then eventually left that to pursue this writing and some other interests.
