| WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUES (5 Programs ) DVD
Candid, honest and often heated, these programs let you discover, first hand, how doctors navigate their way through tough medical decisions. Hosted by nationally acclaimed Dr. Peter Salgo, the series brings together real doctors, tackling real-life medical cases in a way you've have never seen before. The goal of the series is to improve doctor/patient communication and empower viewers to take charge of their own healthcare, and in turn, help them navigate the medical system for better health outcomes.
