So I have the greatest pleasure to the most prominent figure in television. She may be controversial at times, but she hits it hard, she cracks everyone. That's one and only Amy Schumer, I love to introduce you to her.

Amy Schumer

Keep it over. Dr. Seckin. Wow, everybody good over there? I had a lot of choices of what I could do this evening. One of them was rewatch the launch of the Blue Origin flight and then the landing that came 11 minutes later. But I said, no, I want to come and thank the man who changed my life. And that's not my husband or my son, it's you, Dr. Seckin. I have a story like so many of you sitting here tonight or so many of your loved ones living a life where most days of the month I was on the floor in pain, vomiting from the pain, the pain that nobody can see. And so it wasn't until I had my, and I'm going to talk about this while we're on the salad course, my C-section where Dr. Hayma Brill. Is she here? Is she here?

Oh, hi Dr. Brill. She delivered my son and somehow she sewed me back together. I still dunno how she got me back together, but she said, you definitely have a adenomyosis and I think that you have endometriosis. And sent me to Dr. Seckin who it's really a unique experience to have the proof for the first time to sit down in his office and have him go through and show me the 33 impacts that I had from Endo. That my appendix was being choked by endometriosis, that I had chocolate cysts, my ovaries, and that it was a miracle that I was able to carry a child. And I was just weeping and weeping and weeping that this man had taken the time to not focus in the medical field on what so many do, which is dick pills, right? Most funding, most medical funding.

What can we do for your dick? Is it, are you having trouble getting hard? Staying hard? Does it go a little bit to the left? If it's having any trouble and we're going to make it a chewable pill or a patch. We want it to be as easy and we'll get to the women next lifetime. But sitting there feeling seen, he lifted the pain out of my body. I am pain-free now for about five or six years. No one has changed my life more. And I will say that to my husband and son's face. It's the truth. Thank you for changing my life and thank you for all you do and thank everyone here. And thank you Dr. Brill. I love you. Thank you for looking deep into my vagina so many times. Calling in all those pills for bacterial vaginosis because I'm allergic to my husband's penis. I think. I don't know, but we both just did that course of antibiotics, so hopefully that should. Anyway, you guys enjoy your meal and thank you to Dr. Seckin and the Blossom Ball. Thank you.
