0:03.3	You know, today you're here to talk about the most controversial aspects
0:10.5	about pediatrics and children's health and the truth is these things should not be
0:16.9	controversial and that's why you're here to talk about them in fact we've made a list
0:22.3	of four big topics we want to go into, and I'm super
