What a truly humbling story! Thanks to all doctors like you.
Amazing
This is an incredible podcast! I love listening to stories and I love the fact that these are about difficult periods of time in peoples lives and that the story teller is here to tell us how they were able to get through it.
I don’t care about the so called “ad spamming”, im just happy that the creator(s?) Are able to get paid for their hard work. Nothing wrong with that:)
"Transfixing" is the word
Is it possible not to be completely transfixed by this show?
