Horrible Start. Can’t Listen
Virtual voice was somewhat tinny. And what on God’s green earth did this person think would draw me in by beginning with so many sentences that said the same thing, only slightly differently? Or the second “story” that had the doctor slip up in the OR, resulting in the woman and her unborn child’s deaths? Argh!
