Thank you very much. I wanted to intervene earlier. It is with regard to the pain, and regarding endometriosis, which does not involve only one organ—it is a multi-organ problem. Pain is just a pointer. It points that you have to see the patient as a whole, which is not happening over the last so many years. We have been treating the symptoms. That is why I have been very vocal about it over the last 15 or 20 years—that we kindly see the patient as a whole, prioritise treatment and the continuation of treatment. These are very important things, and this is not happening. That's why we are suffering, and that is why we are not getting anywhere with these diagnoses, especially in women. My heart goes out. I have a wife, I have a daughter, I have a grand-daughter. Why should they suffer? This is mainly because we don't see them as a whole. Thank you.
