Customer Reviews
Fully Relatable
Episodes are mostly relatable with a beta thalassemia patient. I like the way how doctors discuss about disease burden. For me yes it burden in some cases but same time it motivate me to give more than 100% in life.
Great mix of science and patient insights.
Listening to the first episode and really impressed with the dialogue! Open discussion about the state of thalassemia and the importance of partnering and connecting to make a difference. Great stuff!
