Episode 31: Interventional radiology and postpartum hemorrhage response teams
The people that you interact with emergently—critical care doctors, the transplant doctors, the trauma doctors—they can speak for you. And I think sometimes using our allies to speak for us in places where our voices may not be heard as much can be very powerful." —Janice Newsome, MD, FSIR
