EPISODE 12 | When cardiologist Bret Scher agreed to let me interview him, I did a happy dance. Seriously. I’ve been following Dr. Scher for quite some time now, so when I chatted with him I was somewhat star struck! On his website, Dr. Scher says he hopes to be “the most unique cardiologist you have ever encountered.” After listening to this ep, you’ll see why this is true! Enjoy!!
