0:25.8	Hey, everyone.
0:27.0	Today I speak with Dr. Neil Stolman.
0:28.7	He's a conventional gastroenterologist, well-published, and actually one of the pioneers in FMT for C-Dif, Chlisidif.
0:37.1	And I think for those of you who may have had C. diff on a stool
0:41.7	test in the past, this conversation is going to be crucially important. The long short is it's not
