Summary
In this episode, Madigan tells the birth story of Cherise Doyley. After hours of labor, doctors worried that Cherise was experiencing a uterine rupture, and doctors recommended a cesarean section. However, Cherise declined the risky operation. Hours later, while still in labor, she was on a zoom call with a judge. Learn about Cherise Doyley's story, and the history of the intersections of sexism and racism within medical history.
