Note sull'episodio

In this episode of Our Voices, Our Future, we sit down with Dr. Laura Andreson, a practicing OB/GYN with 24 years of clinical experience and a candidate for the Tennessee House of Representatives.

During this episode we talk about Dr. Andreson's journey from delivering babies to running for public office, what it was like becoming a plaintiff in Phillips v. Tennessee challenging the state's trigger abortion ban, and why she believes physicians have a unique and necessary voice in shaping health policy. We also dig into the moments in the exam room and at the State Capitol that pushed her to step outside her comfort zone, and what she'd tell any physician or medical student who feels frustrated with the system but doesn't know where to start.
