So, a STEM Stan?
Not necessarily. His undeergrad was engineer rather than pre med. Ez pz. Not to detract from being engo but anyone with a bachelor's can become a Dr.
@@JymzJameson I disagree. Compared to earning a doctorate I suppose a bachelors in engineering is easy, but as far as a comparison between pre-med and a bachelors in engineering are concerned, there’s not a big enough difference in difficulty to call either one “Ez pz”. I spent an average of 15-20 hours a week on homework in Calc 4, in addition to 5 hours of weekly in-class instruction and problems and several more hours studying and taking notes. That was an average week, not including weekends. I spent far more time during each of the three exam weeks. The exams alone took around 6 hours to complete.
It was a required class, and I know plenty of pre-med students glad they didn’t have to take that course. They’re really just two different types of hell. That, or you just enjoy running hundreds of differential equations and matrices and graphing their imaginary solutions by hand/without a calculator.

@@diogorodrigues10 I think 20 secs
@@diogorodrigues10 27 seconds
@@diogorodrigues10 18 seconds exact time
@@diogorodrigues10 it was about 20 seconds, and the suits were just updated this year to withstand 20 seconds of fire instead of 10, but the gloves weren’t, which explains the burns on his hands but nowhere else, the FIA has done a great job with safety the last few years
The fact that he survived the crash, an explosion and a solid 30+ seconds on fire, is in itself unbelievable. But to see he has no other damage then burns to his hands and possibly wrists, is pushing the limits of possibility. The F1 safety protocols and engineering truly shines bright here.
I can only imagine only the best Engineers in the world have a chance to enter the f1 industry, be it on teams doing aerodynamical and mechanical design or on the fia improving safety. A congregation of the brightest minds and ideas contributing into all these crazy tech that has proven itself otherworldly time and time again
A 50G + crash at that
@NolanEP that was the estimate from the strength of the guardrail which is supposed to hold until 56G. but i agree it's a ridiculous number. the speed of f1 cars are maximum 300kmh. if we assume he drives 200kmh and stop in a second it would only be 20G. but since it stoped in less than a second 50G is not impossible
@NolanEP i think it was 53g but i dont remember the source
@@bernieadams4057 it was 53g, 221 km/h at the moment of impact. F1 cars collect data just like airplanes, most likely info was taken from that since its quite specific value. 1 second for stopping is way too long for impact like this. 😂 we can see live g-forces even when watching from tv so theres is no reason why they would not know forces during impact
This is a real testament to all the safety protocols and engineering F1 has put in to place. To the think everyone hated that halo but it has saved a life.
Yep. Halo critics have just been silenced.
I thought the Halo proved itself that first year, I think when a car went over the top of LeClerc..?
I hated the halo went it first came into place, I still hated it to this day though it did have some purpose to protect the drivers but now I’m thankful for the halo and glad another driver didn’t lose his life doing something he loved

My whole family was so excited to watch the race. 15 seconds in, this happens. They didn’t show the footage or say if he was okay for like 45 seconds after we saw the crash live. Longest 45 seconds of our life, just sitting there wondering if we had just watched grosjean die. Thank god he is okay, miraculously didn’t even break any bones or suffer a concussion. Shoutout to the FIA for all they do and PRAISE THE HALO
Yeah, normally the commentators would take some time to explain that it's comon in F1 to stop filming a crash when the outcome is unclear.
It doesn't happen often that they pan out, but since Grosjean is father of three, it's probably best not for the family to see your partner getting into an accident.
Wait, that was only 45 seconds? It felt like 45 minutes...

The crash was 53g's according to the race telemetry! He didn't have any injuries associated with the impact itself, only with the fire.
The car's safety cell took the brunt of the G-force.
@@mmonkeyman1403 That's not G force you're talking about. G force (actually not a force), is produced by sudden deceleration. His body is moving at 230kph and next second at 0. Nothing can prevent that since the body just has to stop with the car.
@@mmonkeyman1403 that's not how physics work... though I understand what you meant!
@@DogZy9 gotta keep it simple in the yt comments.
@Winston Goldstein that's why his car got separated into 2 pieces
It's designed to do that
That was a fatal accident without the fatality.
@Random Pepega in the chat I personally don’t feel like I’d be missing anything there
No it wasn't, by design with the survival cell.
20-30 years ago...this crash would have been fatal.
@@AJZulu 2-3 years ago, without the halo, this would likely have been fatal.
@@tnexus13 it could have been fatal even last year because of the new more fire proof outfits that came this year
If anyone's interest in F1 has been piqued by this, Drive to Survive on Netflix is your friend.
Naw. Watch chain bear.
@Nic Lazzari
The title alone is already manufactured drama. Makes me very reluctant to watch it.
Drive to Survive got me into F1 back in March and man... it's changed my life
DTS isn't that good.
Rush, directed by Ron Howard and also Senna were great formula One movies.
The Halo: 'You saved his life man! You're the hero!'
The monocoque: 'Oh yeah you was there too...'
FYI: According to the guardian and other media he suffered second degree burns.
I’m a huge F1 fan. I was so worried and legitimately thought we lost Grosjean. I watched the crash live, it was a few minutes they waited after the crash to show he was ok, just to be sure. It felt like forever. Thank the Lord he’s alright.
Wish you talked about the Gs he experienced and how he stayed conscious after the massive impact
Engineer and Doctor, now that's a lot of learning to do. Serious respect from a fellow engineer!
I know quite a few. In my experience they tend to dream up medical devices/hardware. I have one that combined his MD with a Law degree. He is quite the guy and has some very interesting stories.
lift your game mate
Also, doctor, the HANS Device saved his life.
Yeah will all that g force, it definitely was a huge part
yeah If he had fainted, he would not have survived
And the survival cell, and the fireproof clothing.
Every development in safety from fire resistant suits through to the halo, including the HANS, seatbelt, safety cell, the medical car following the grid on the first lap... They were there in 6 seconds. It's still a bloody miracle!
They estimated Dale Earnhardt’s crash to be 48-68g’s right in the neighborhood of this crash. Would of for sure snapped his neck on impact without HANS
For non-F1 fans , the car was designed to break into 2 separate pieces. It helps absorb impact and energy transfer as a whole away from the driver directly.
Very true, but that separation wasn't supposed to include ripping the fuel "tank" open. It was supposed to stay whole and attached the the forward portion.
@@spencersherman4763 There's some speculation that the fuel tank itself weren't damaged, but rather the fuel collector. The reasoning I heard was that there's about 2-3 litres of fuel in the collector and that a damaged fuel tank would provide much more fuel for a bigger and worse fire. It'll be interesting to hear more about it when more info is available.
Guys according to Ross Brawn a fuel “ bag “ had been ignited and not the actual tank and an investigation has been launched .
Crazy to think that if it wasn't for the halo we wouldn't be talking about only burns, maybe not only injuries either...
Mans would’ve been beheaded and burned alive. Fuck that
@@gerry3RS or at least his head would have been crushed inside a collapsed helmet.
What's terribly ironic is Romain was one of the most outspoken people against the Halo
It's ironic, yes. He's changed his mind a while ago, though.
Can't fix stupid.
Not anymore
I actually didnt expect you to talk about this but it's great, it was such a breathtaking sight at that moment for real.
So awesome to see you talking about F1! Unfortunately, several drivers have died this way (car splitting metal guardrail) throughout Formula 1 history. Watching this impact live, I was sure that we lost RoGro. It was horrible, but this was the first true test of the halo, and it passed with flying colors. Big props to the FIA for taking a massive step in driver safety by implementing this life saving device!!
Indeed that has been the case of many gruesome deaths. Which begs the question of why any modern track has metal guardrails, instead of tire walls or SAFER barriers
@@funguy873 You don't put tire walls on straights, and you put SAFER barriers against solid walls, not against guardrails that are designed to do the same job SAFER barriers do: absorb part of the impact.
The problem is that the guardrail was splitted in two. That's what's worth looking into, although the speed and angle of the incident were exceptional and unexpected at that point of the track, but yeah it shouldn't have opened up like that, had the car slided along it as it was supposed to do the damage would have been much less.
EVERYONE hated the Halo when it was introduced, including some drivers, but it has now saved at least 4 lives already in the few years it's been used.
Grosjean himself said in one of his update videos that he wasn't a fan of the halo when it was introduced. He certainly is now, though.
This is probably and realisticaly the 1st crash the halo made a difference.
All the others is people overracting.
@@PedroFTeixeira I think it did in the Leclerc one too. Alonso's wheel bounced right off his halo.
@@ninetailedfox579121 it probably wouldn't have hit his face, but you can never know a 100%. Grosjean's crash was like the first one where it definitely saved a life and this is enough to know it's one of the best inventions in f1

I loved this I love F1 just as much as I love football and basketball I wish u could do more videos about like talking about Aryton senna or Roland Ratzenberger like always u make great videos Brian and continue the great work 💯🙏🏽 I’m also glad Romain is ok man my heart dropped when I saw the crash live
Burns are 2nd degree I believe. Also this is probably his last race as he planned to retire at the end of this year
Halo was invented because Felipe Massa was hit by a spring to the head.. He passed out an crashed into a barrier with 250 kmh
Actually that kind of accident is one of those that it's worried the Halo isn't very good at protecting against, at last years Russian GP we saw a piece of debris hit Pier Gasly on the head, bypassing the Halo. It was brought in after Henry Surtees died in an F2 race at Brands Hatch in 2009 when a loose wheel struck him on the head, and then when Indycar driver Justin Wilson died in 2014 after a front nose assembly had been launched by a big crash and landed on his head.
It was also because of what happened to Jules Bianchi
@@dec3322 conversations started before, but with much opposition until Bianchi.
This is why i started wearing fireproof undies and suits from go karting on. Its hot but will save your skin/life.
Oh man never thought of this. I mean it’s just a kart but probably it can save you. Thanks for that idea. I’ll do it as well
@@ch3m1x81 yeah its not super uncommon for a kart to crash or flip and the tank to rupture. And ill be sweating anyway so the extra heat of the suit and undies doesnt matter
How Romain came out of that crash alive and walking is 🤯 and a freaking miracle to me.... After seeing Ryan Newman’s crash and he made it out alive shows how much the technology is evolving to protect the drivers.....
As the first one who asked for this topic, Thank you for this video.
So glad he is ok ❤️ Came out the fire like The Terminator 💪
can we just talk about the fact that the crash put him through 53G’s of force?!?! it really is a miracle that he was able to maintain consciousness and stay alert enough to get himself out of the car. there’s also the new suits that f1 introduced that can withstand 20 seconds of fire. in fact, the gloves and boots that the drivers wear are the only parts of the suit not made of this material which can explain the burns to his hands. still a great sight to see him walk away from something that would have taken his life just two years earlier!!
Apart from the heavier fire proof suits that were adopted this year, the relatively old but highly important HANS device or Head and Neck Support device is probably what prevented not just traumatic brain injuries but also kept him conscious post the 53G crash so that he could actually pull himself out of the fire in as quick a time as he did. While some things definitely went wrong to cause the severity of the crash, a lot of things that have been implemented in F1 over the years actually did their job, including small things like having a fully loaded medical car follow the pack on lap 1, or conducting annual extraction tests for all drivers to ensure they can extract themselves fast. All those small to big things together saved Romain's life.
It is awesome to see that the halo worked
Alright that’s it! you the best Doc reviewer on TH-cam
I love the F1 stuff. So many crash things you could cover.
I've been watching F1 since the 2000 season and only twice have I seen a crash and immediately thought the worst. In 2001 Luciano Burti at the Spa circuit and this crash. Amazing that they both came away with their lives.
I've been watching since 2005. Also, I've seen only one crash and immediately feared the worst: Robert Kubica at Montreal (I live on the west coast, so I wasn't going to watch this race live, and I found out about this crash from a notification that said he walked away, so I knew even before I saw it that Romain was ok)
Edit: Kubica, for the record, had just a twisted ankle and a concussion.
@@iceman95540 Yeah I remember that one. The only reason I didn't list it is because just after the crash you could see Robert's head move a bit. In Burti and this case there was an element of the unknown because the driver was out of sight for a time, especially with Burti I was sure he was dead because of the way Irvine was reacting at the scene
Never thought you would cover it but glad you did
Brian Sutterer MD in 5 years: "actually its attorney at law Brian Sutterer MD now"
To add a little bit more context, the Halo was a direct consequence of Jules Bianchi's accident. This accident was much more horrible because it reminded me of Niki Lauda's crash from decades ago, in addition to the potential for a fatal head injury like in Bianchi's case.
I wonder if he burnt his hands while still in the cockpit or while jumping over the guard-rail. Either way, I'm glad he's OK.
Edit: @Dr. Sutterer, I saw Romain shaking his hands after jumping over the guard-rail, which is probably because he burnt them. Does adrenaline not numb the pain from burns?
According to what I have read, this year's racing suits are heavier specification rated up to twice the level of the gloves (presumably for dexterity reasons). As he came out of the flames he was wringing his hands so he was already in pain even with the adrenaline flowing.
Check out the interview he did after getting out of the hospital. He describes every moment of his memories getting out in great detail, including what point the gloves were done. th-cam.com/video/QDT-tMtdfSo/w-d-xo.html
There was a photo of a driver who went through the barrier and got decapitated I can’t remember the name and it’s graphic but that’s what would have happened to grosjean
I love your breakdown & explanation of everything on your channel. Please continue doing what you do and I will watch every video with passion :)
As a diehard F1 fan and also a guy who appreciates Biology, i love this video. I'm happy I came across this channel. Subscribed. :)
could you do a video on Niki lauda's crash in Germany 1976
hey doc, i wish you also talked a bit about the G force effect on the body during impact, i heard Grojean had around 35G on that crash on the barrier. Thanks!
i heard it was a peak of 58-65 G's (different people said different ammounts).
Getting close to Astronaut numbers. My theory is 60gs is enough to instantly turn off your brain juice. You would need an oxygen mask to stay awake as all your oxygenated blood just shifted directions.
@@justinfrazier9555 if you think 40 G's is unsurvivable here is Kenny Brack surviving 214 G's.
th-cam.com/video/8onD87zQqAw/w-d-xo.html
The human body is insanely resilient. It can survive 40+G's for a few seconds.
The safety cell took the brunt of the G-force.
@@justinfrazier9555 That would only be true for sustained G-forces, but the human body can handle higher forces in a sudden deceleration where it is only subjected to those forces for a second or two.
Some other things that helped. F1 recently updated the race suits to protect 20seconds of fire instead of 10secs like the previous suits. The gloves were not updated, and still were rated for 10sec, which can explain why his hands were the only things burned. Someone counted that he was in the fire for 27-28 secs. Also, the HANS device that was such a big deal after Dale Earnhardt died, that also helps protect your head from moving during violent crashes, I'm sure is what helped keep him conscious and able to immediately extract himself.
I'm becoming a big fan of your work Dr, keep it. And I loved seeing you in the Pat Mcafee show, if only for a little bit.
Doc is flexing on us with the whole "I was an engineer before I became a doctor".
I was a sandwich artist before I became night manager but you don't hear me bragging.
0:41 Dude, I know how important can be remembering the work of a medical team during sports events, but you are wrong in this occasion. Grosjean survived thanks to 3 major factors not related to the first intervention of the medical assistant: 1) The Halo. This is a particular and relatively new safety measure that basically saved him from a certain decapitation on the guard-rail. 2) F1 Pilot Cage. Each Dashboard on a new F1 car is like an impact insulator. This is nothing new, Nascar and Rally cars uses the same concept but in a less "speedy" way with Roll Cages. 3) Pilot body. We often forget that these athletes train their body for high speeds and fast decelerations/accelerations. Their body is in the best shape they can get; Grosjean did not lost consciousness at impact also thanks to his physical training and quick reflexes that help him get out from a dangerous situation. We can't deny the medical team will ensure his recovery process, but in the end Romain Grosjean was saved by the constantly improving F1 Cars techology and safety regulations, and his own will to live. There is also a fourth factor that we allways want to forget: *Luck*.
Watched live from grandstand , i was shocked and stunned , glad for safety measures and medical team and fire fighters and marshals for not have fatality because crash
Cool to see you talking about Romain injuries, if you could make a video on Felipe Massa accident would be cool because is one of the accidents that showed the necessity off a Halo type structure. Great video !!!!
Basically, the HANS Device, helmet, Alpinestars firesuit and the Haas F1 car all did their jobs
“I was an engineer before I was a doctor”
*richness 100*
Never asked for this video, but glad I saw it! Subbed!
Excellent video, Doc. I really wish you had included video of the actual wreck for others to see while you explained some of the finer points.
FYI its pronounced "Row-man" not "Row-mane." Apart from that, good video.
Well actually it's more Ro-ma but not an actual a, it's a sound that doesn't exist in English
@@IStMl Yeah true.
@@IStMl so the N is silent
@@lockdown550 yeah ofc it's French, u would need an "e" after to pronounce it ("Romaine", which is the feminine version of the adjective "romain" = "roman")
It is pronounced like romaine lettuce, I believe.
If the Halo wasn’t there Grosjean would be dead.
He would have certainly been decapitated without the HALO when the nose acted like a wedge and split the Armco. I've raced in the SCCA and that was a nasty hit. When I saw the back half of the car outside the fence with the massive fireball I first thought that the tub had failed and had split the fuel cell. I expect that there will be changes made in the specification in the number of protective fabric layers in the gloves in the coming years.
i couldn't handle another death on live tv after bianchi's death
@@kukuc96 you think by now they should design the gloves to make the driver's difficulty to a minimum
Yes sir he would be point blank period.
And leclerc
The fact he's still racing today is crazy. He's said 1 hand is painful every day "some days worse than others." IndyCar also does not have power-steering so you have to fight the steering wheel HARD. Imagine doing that with his injuries.
Everyday I am thankful for the medical staff and automotive engineers of the world. They are REAL heroes that make an incredible difference to our lives. Thank you doctors, nurses, and in this particular case a special thanks to the engineers in F1 and automotive industry. INCREDIBLE that someone walked away from this crash, with minor injuries.
As far as i know (from the german sky f1 commentator) he only has 2nd degree burns and 2 broken toes
Imma just say it cause it doesn’t seem like you know about it but as far as I know the Drivers have to wear 3 layers of racing suit fabric and 4 layers of fireproof fabric because of how often these F1 cars catch fire (that’s at least what I think it is)
i think this is the first F1 related video made by Dr. Sutterer.
i saw this accident live and i almost dropped my bowl of noodles in shock.
Hey Doc, I'm a paramedic thats worked some SCCA and lower class races. Great content. I thought they reported in some media, 2nd degree burns to the hands and 1 foot because his boot got stuck and he had to slip it off.
When the car split in 2, that was actually supposed to haven, it's called the survival cell and it absorbs some extra energy
Do we know this for sure? I heard it going around that the barrier cut into the car like a knife and split it somewhere around the fuel cell which would be why we got the fireball. To my knowledge, isn't the survival cell supposed to split after the cockpit, but before the fuel cell to prevent any potential fires from staying near the driver?
@@f12010fan yes this is true. It’s designed to split behind the driver to take energy from the crash and it’s less momentum carried overall by the monocoque cell. The spit was designed that way , while the halo is the actual driver cell.
@@f12010fan yes but didnt Ross brawn say it wasnt the fuel cell that got pierce but the bag inbetween
That’s not true at all... the cell is the strongest part for sure but half the car isn’t supposed to be lost in a crash. In most scenarios that would cause an even worse crash involving even more cars. Technically even the wheels aren’t supposed to separate from the car let alone the entire power unit! If you listen to the replays even the announcers were shocked that the car was in two pieces....
Interesting fact: Grosjean has already announced his retirement from the sport at the end of this season. There are now 2 races left (over the next 2 weeks). Sadly he may never race in F1 again, simply because he was already leaving the sport.
he didn`t had a seat for next year, not retirement....
Yea he never said he was retiring, he just said he wasn't going back to Haas
@@briansonnenfelt7125 he said "my time in f1 is done". Doesn't get much clearer than that.
He said if he didn’t have a seat for next year he wouldn’t pursue coming back and would be done with the sport. So, yeah, he didn’t retire of his own volition- but he doesn’t have a seat.
@@cmfall1986 He is married with three young children - even if he had an F1 seat for next year, no one would think anything less of him if he called it quits after surviving that
The Halo protected his head from being severed from his body, the Head And Neck Support (HANS for short) device kept him from being knocked out unconscious after a 53G impact, the fire-proof clothing kept him from burning alive like Niki Lauda, the survival cell and seatbelts kept him inside the cockpit instead of being flung away
Hi! Im a medstudent, who was a biomedical engineer student before, and a huge fan of F1, so i really loveeeeed this video, please can you make more medical/F1 related videos?

Nvm you did it
Every F1 fan knows there’s always something that’s gonna happen on lap one but never like this
Brian you sure love what you do, thanks for the information. info released probably after your recording suggests a second degree burn from the F1 sky sports team, those overalls have 3 layers of fireproof protection! what an amazing job by the volunteer marshalls, doctor and his driver
This is a great video about his injuries. I would love to see you break down some of the physics of the crash and how it relates to health, in particular the excess of 50 g's of impact force he experienced and yet was able to quickly hop away from the wreckage.
Can you do some WWF INJURES. Like Sid Vicious when he broke his leg.
yeah, he needs to do the legit injuries in pro wrestling
They are second degree burns and he injured his foot or ankle as well
And ribs
Great analysis mr.Sutterer! Short and understandable.
The fact that he went through the barrier and still survived is amazing. He could've easily passed away on Sunday. This is a huge testament to all of the safety features and protocols f1 has put in place to protect these drivers. We often forget with this enhanced safety that it's a dangerous sport. This was a harsh reminder. I hope he gets back on the track.
Grosjean was against the halo device when it was made mandatory ---- he has now changed his opinion.
Just put a screen or have barriers that actually work. Problem solved
@@canismajoris6733 the halo has protected drivers when cars have gone airborne and landed on top of the . Screens and protective barriers only account for some of the reasons for the halo feature to exist.

? it is literally one of the scariest crash in at least the past two decades. especially with the car both splitting in half and igniting on such big fire.
@@melozanob Which is exactly my point, F1 history stretches much further than the last two decades. Go and watch some of the 50's & 60's motor racing crashes involving burning cars in the crowd. British Pathé has some you might find unwatchable.
Motor racing safety has been a relatively recent and constantly improved field of study.
@@WaxingRadiance so true if you look at f1 history there alot of awful crashes
"One of the worst Formula One crashes".....
Uhhh....the 70s called....
Depends what you define as worst. Likely it was a more forceful impact than the 70's crashes and in any era up to the introduction of the halo it would have been a deadly crash. If you only define worst as a crash that leads to a fatality then no it wasn't one of the worst.
@@poeltlpower1880 "more forceful impact"....Tom Pryce....that was pretty forceful....
The lessening of forces impacting the body through track and car design is exactly why you see a death a decade now, rather than several per year....
Huge props for covering F1 🙏
Thank you! It was horrific to watch live and it's made a believer out of many anti-halo F1 fans.
Really helpful analysis and explanation. Thanks!
Yeah it was horrific. I'm a huge F1 fan, as well as a huge rugby and cricket fan. I'd love to see you do some rugby injury videos!
Incredible scene and glad he’s on with Minor Injuries
Thank you for posting a video of Grosjean crash I was hoping you would do One.
Oh shit! Was a fan and actually met him in the past. Hope he gets better but good work from the med team 🙌
I'm amazed he stayed conscious during the impact, would have been nice for you to discuss why that was. Still great to see the content
fun fact about the F1 safety measures, the car split in half by design, the rear, of course, is where the engine and fuel is and the goal is to get that as far away from the driver as possible, it also helps to slow down the driver in the event of a crash by decreasing the weight of him plus his "survival cell" (the monocoque that the drivers sit in)
"I was an engineer before I was a doctor..."
...i see you flexin doc!
awesome info as always, thanks
The thing I’m surprised you didn’t cover was the fact that he was alert and conscious after a 53G impact with the barrier. The fact that he wasn’t knocked out and was able to get himself out of the fire is the most miraculous part of the whole accident. Great video and breakdown!
I wonder how much of that is due to experience and the physical fitness of the F1 drivers. I’ve seen them training specifically to strengthen their necks but there’s only so much you can train for.
I saw this live when it happened on TV. It's the 1st time in 30+ years we see that kind of fire explosion in an F1 race. Thank God he is alive. Without the halo, he would be knocked out because of the impact and burned to death right there in the sit. He just made an interview today telling how he lived it inside. He was also stocked in the debris of the guardrail. When he managed to get unstocked from his foot and got up from the car, he put his hands on the halo so he could get out, that's why he has burns in his hands (3rd-degree reports said). Absolutely terryfing. It reminded me the F1 from the '70s.
Thanks you for including more sports and introducing new topics
THANKS GOD for saving the driver's life,
The engineering of the HANS device is also really interesting to look at. It allowed him to stay conscious as well as avoid concussion and whiplash injuries during a 53G impact.
