If you have questions you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. Hey everybody, it's Dr. Sam and I want to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. So we have a very special guest today. She's a physician. Her name is Dr. Monisha Bhanote, and I met Dr. Bhanote on clubhouse and was very impressed with her information. So I wanted to bring her on. But a little background about her. She is a quadruple board certified physician with over 20 years of healthcare experience. She has expertise in integrative medicine, internal medicine, and something I'm interested in because I studied this in optometry school, anatomic and clinical pathology. I'm very excited because she just shared with me she has a new book that's going to be coming out in the fall called the anatomy of well being. She also is training holistic health coaches. And we'll talk about that as well in many other subjects. So Dr. Bhanote, I want to welcome you. And my first question is, what drew you to researching and studying anatomic and clinical pathology? I'm really curious about that. 01:58 Yeah. So thank you, Sam, for having me on your podcast today. And yes, it's been great meeting you on clubhouse and connecting since then. So I think what drew me to anatomic and clinical pathology is my training where I did my medical school training, I actually trained in Europe, and they are very grounded in the basic sciences. So I had extensive background in anatomy, histology and the functioning of the body. And, you know, when I came out of medical school, I did, I did what I thought was a traditional route of going into internal medicine and taking care of patients, however, that the system that I was working in did was not quite working for me in the sense of I felt like I was helping people. So I actually then explored other opportunities and went into pathology because it's such a complex study of the human body. And there's so much to know that I knew that I was not only not ever going to be able to learn everything,
