Dr. Death

November 06, 2020 03:41 - 18 minutes - 20.9 MB

I know guys, a bit morbid title for a podcast about fertility. But there is purpose behind this episode and that is: trust your gut. If something doesn't feel right, it might not be. Doctors are experts, but you are the expert of your own body. Get second opinions! And don't put all of your faith in one human - doctor or not.
