I was confused on what my path should be.
If we commit ourselves to advocacy our voices can be heard by many more people than we could imagine.
You walk in there, and you can feel like there’s another life in that clinic.
The Judicial system doesn’t really think the way we do as physicians.
I was trying to be open to listening to their stories, and their stories were affecting me.
Discovering I was walking in the footsteps of a presumed cold-blooded murder made it tenuous.
The person I imagined was not the person we discovered.
