THE UNHEARD DOCTOR
Have you ever turned down a media interview because
you were afraid
you would say the wrong thing,
or you were overwhelmed

or you were nervous
about the reporter's questions
and the huge viewing audience,
or you struggled to
find the words to express what you wanted to say?
Or maybe you've done a media interview and it didn't go so well?
