0:15.0	Hi.
0:16.0	What's up?
0:18.0	Well, it's a weird question, but seven months ago my 27 year old daughter died.
0:27.0	And suddenly, and of what if I may ask at 27.
0:33.0	Yes, she, uh, it was of my 12 valve pro lab, which is a panel with that supposed to be benign.
0:43.0	Where we did that, it, they said that if it happens at the exact time a T wave of some sort hit it causes sudden cardiac death, she was an OR nurse, she had done three,
