Cecily speaks with Dr. Lee Blecher, a family medicine doctor at Fairfax Family Practice in Fairfax, Virginia. Dr. Blecher shares the importance of personal life experiences in caring for patients. As a part of teaching new doctors, Dr. Blecher demonstrates emotional honesty and vulnerability. Part of that lesson came from a difficult experience during his fellowship, in which a patient delivered a full-term stillborn infant.
