What I am trying to get at is that I recently had occasion to meet a patient with a particular form of arthritis, which was horrifying to observe. It was obvious the patient was in very serious pain. In that kind of situation, it must be possible, with all the expertise that is available around the world, to come to grips with that particular type of arthritis in a way that would make life a little more meaningful for the patient and at least give some kind of quality of life to that patient. How do we deal with that? Can we deal with that?
