This is a must listen as it intersects where the US is now with reproductive freedom. The women in this story were just seen as vessels despite going through the trauma of IVF. Outstanding journalism
Excellent

Not a subject I thought would appeal to me but i was addicted, in no small part by my outrage at the whole situation. I’m very glad this has been exposed and come to light
Another disappointment

Such an interesting story which absolutely needed to be told. However here is told in such a disappointing way, again leading absolutely nowhere. Americans do need to get a grip on themselves and stop thinking they are the centre of the world.
Great podcast, shame on Yale

It disgusts me that Yale settled on this case by sneezing a tiny $300k payout. It’s a dribble; a continuation of their ignorance and demonstrates their Freudian attitude toward these women. I will not comment on the outcome for the nurse as in the words of the women who suffered - I have not been through what they have been through and ergo do not understand their pain. I do however believe that the Yale doctors had an absolute responsibility to believe their patients and deliver far greater care and attention. Perhaps they were ignorant because of the opioid crisis - this is just my narrative and not based on any facts - but when a patient is screaming or when one is outright saying she could drive herself home because she is that lucid (while supposedly on fentanyl) - there is absolutely no way that they should have proceeded.
