Thank you, thank you, thank you.
There is almost 38 tables here. You all came for a cause and that is a grand cause for us, for many woman, for many man, many husband, boyfriends, families, America’s backbone that endometriosis, we believe that which is like an underlying cause of many things. One of the most misdiagnosed, mistreated, mismanaged and it affects everyone, every corner of the societies for dimensional disease.
We had the great conference at New York Academy of Sciences today. Believe it or not, believe it not, people came from Brazil, from London, from Stanford, from Yale, from MIT. They are all here in these tables. They have been part of our force.
I really owe so much to them and most of all obviously our face of endometriosis is Padma, we owe her so much she gave such a touching speak today then you realize some people have gift that they can speak their heart. They can speak their feelings what they have been through and you know what people identify with that. We doctors only treat individuals. They kind of treat masses, people find cause through them and they really look forward, the way they speak. Padma was gorgeous today, the way she speak. She can really express it. I have not seen anybody who can express their feelings as good as she does. I would like to give applause to Padma. You know I do not have prepared speech anything like that. So, basically I really appreciate it.
We are a new foundation and I think you are in the right cause. There are people from my hospital, the administration is here and they have been very supportive in what we do. There are many doctors here from Mount Sinai and from other places. Thank you for coming, thank you for coming. This is a great cause and you will see this cause growing and growing and will be one where like a one river will be the big sea will be big waves we are going to make sounds and everybody will hear us. The bottom line is no women should suffer unnecessarily due to misinformation, mismanagement, and mistreatment. We are here to help. We will do everything to change it and thank you very much but before that I would like to invite someone who is very special. He came from Stanford. He is the man who sacrificed himself for this cause. Last year we honored someone like him that was Harry Reich. He is here tonight, however, this man also single-handedly he did a revolution in surgery. He brought video camera into surgery in late 80s. Nobody used video camera in surgery that is Camran Nezhat and I would like to honor him tonight and ask him to be joining me at the podium.
