Hi, my name is Teri. Thank you so much for your time. I'm very sad tension spot. So this is a very complicated situation that there are many factors to consider my primary concern as a physician who's taking care of this boy is of course the well-being and safety of my patient the 14 year old boy. However, I think is also important considered the potential implications that can arise due to my decision or my intervention in the situation. So I think the familiar aspect is very important consider here as well. So I think it's been pretty conservative perspective.
 As a mother as well. So before I dive into my plan of action, I would like to explore the perspective of the mother who requested me and also the perspective of the board as well SNS wolves as well as myself. So from the perspective of the mother, I can understand why she may have thought the need to make this request as from her situation or a from her perspective, you know, maybe she thought that you know kind of breaking this bad news explicitly and directly to the little boy may have bring brought on or potentially bring on greater amount of Despair to the boy.
 However, from the perspective of the the little boy. I think it's also important consider how you know cure Smith may be regarding this diagnosis and from the perspective of myself Division, I think, you know, having maintaining and having this transparent communication with myself and the boy who's my patient is very imperative in this situation as well. I think important things to consider here is the patient confidentiality aspect while also kind of balancing that with the age of informed consent as this,
 This boy is under the legal age of informed consent. So I'll simply talk to my mother talked to the mother in a non-judgmental a private manner to really ask her if she is willing to deliver deliver this news and how that I can only respect her wishes. If she is going to break this news to her because you know, if it if there is a news concerning the patient's well-being and safety. It is my responsibility as parked as a doctor to let him or her know about it hit the diagnosis.
