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

Host Barbara Nickel Hamilton, MD, speaks with interventional radiologist Janice Newsome, MD, FSIR, about her efforts to build postpartum hemorrhage response teams and their potential to save lives.
