But, and its a big but, the drugs, therapies and tests are never administered with the intention of harm and have in fact saved many hundreds, thousands and in all probability, millions of lives every single day! We need medical intervention regardless of the fact that there are problems associated with them, including foetal ultrasound. It saved my babies life, the lives of at least 2 friends and their babies too.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045538037135293083noreply@blogger.com
