  • Adenomyosis

    Entire section on adenomyosis and no mention of women. How do we focus on women’s health if we cannot even say the word. It is very sad.

  • Overall pretty good.

    Really great content, super useful summaries. The sound quality could be better though. It’s a bit hard to hear the speakers clearly if you’re listening anywhere other than a quiet environment.
