0:00.0	Hello hello and welcome to episode 20 of the Physician assistant boards.com
0:04.0	podcast and today we're going to talk about vitamin B12 deficiency.
0:08.6	Before we get started just a couple of updates that I want to give you guys last time when I was
0:15.1	recording the podcast my PC actually died and had to buy a new Mac altogether.
0:20.4	Well got a new Mac been using it for the past week or so, and it's amazing.
