Well, I got my referral.  No appointment for a month, but at least I have a name.
The news this week is, as you might expect, the school shooting in Florida.

My guest this week is Jessica Porten.  Jessica made headlines when she was given a police escort to the hospital after asking her OB about treatment for post partum depression.
She's also worked to support legislation that would help mothers with postpartum depression.
