🛈We invite you to join us in the room. In-room audio can be variable, but you can sometime here informative discussions and the sounds of the case. Sometimes the physician is just working and there is no audio explanation. Remember, these are real case for real families, not produced for the site. Please turn on closed captions to assist, as sometimes the physician is wearing a heavy fume mask. And please feel free to check if there is “voice-over” audio instead.
