All right, welcome.

My name is Divine.

This is episode 589 of the Divine Intervention Podcast.

And in today's podcast, we're going to be continuing the series on the Step 1, Free 12.

Three hours later, the uncalled physician enters the patient's room to discuss the prognosis

and obtain consent for a biopsy scheduled for the next morning.

and English. The hospital interpreter is not available until tomorrow morning. The patient's husband

should use another person that is not certified is if it's an emergency and a certified person is not

That's wrong.
