Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you about being tangled. We're going to laugh a little bit about being tangled because well laughter is just good for us. Isn't it?

The doctor finally gets to him and he said I'm a doctor I should have been merciful, kind, said something gentle but what I, only thing I said when I got to him was why didn't you let go?
