Welcome to Living Through It - my exploration of the world of medicine. I plan to talk with patients and healthcare providers about their experiences. I plan to explore the ins and outs of medicine, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. I hope that we can all learn something new as we peel the curtain back on one of the world's most noble fields.
