[Dave is on vacation this week, so have a listen to this previously aired episode. A Note to Listeners: this episode features discussions of sex abuse, rape, and other crimes that many listeners will find disturbing.]

Insights From the Bench on How Doctors Can Work With The Law To Protect Victims of Sexual Assault.
