So being able to understand behind the scenes you know apart from the doctor that is holding the device or he is actually making the operation there are a lot of people behind the scene that is making sure that this is going to be safe that they have designed and implemented a technology that can help help him. And to be on the clinical side was very fascinating for me and later on I've realized that you know to be able to leave an impact and change lives you not necessarily need to be the actual doctor that is doing the operation. You can actually contribute a lot by also being the engineer behind the scenes that the person that can connect between the dots the needs and the solutions.”
