 This right here. We don't know the whole story for any of these situations. For example, as a physician myself, I doubt anyone ever told nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvq9n8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzx9e8gmr3vdsnsu3kv96hjcthx4hr26pnds6ngv3jv3kngumj0y6kg7nxv4jngd3exen8zefcwvm8zem4v34hxdmydf6xvuelvfex7ctyvdshxapaw3e82egpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs5mzk3a and his spouse that they would never have kids verbatim. Doctors almost never deal in absolutes. It was probably something more akin to "Based on the complications you suffered during this last pregnancy, it is unlikely that you will be able to get pregnant again" or "in my medical opinion getting pregnant again poses significant risk to both you and the child".  But this doesn't make good click bait, does it? 
 Exactly this! Sorry, but I am looking for good content, decent information over here and not some fairytale stories to inspire myself daily. I know that this way to put things attracts more likes, reposts and zaps, but it is just not for me. 
 Agreed. So much BS with his little anecdotes and words of advice for his followers, it feels very pretentious as if he thinks he's some kind of wise sage.  
 I mean I know that he has some very wise things to say! That is for sure. Still, reading this every day is the same inflation of words as the Fed does to the USD. Just my two cents 🧡 
 Actually the doctor literally said this to me verbatim, because she was uninformed about the nature of the procedure happening in IR. This was after a medical error which had caused my wife’s complication in the first place. So she had an emotionally devastating conversation with me for no reason. Doctors make mistakes all the time. They are very fallible like every other profession.
