In this episode, Nathan provides a mini update for his pending baby boy and gives his snack of choice for his dad's bag. As it does not look like it will be long before the arrival of his first child.

Martin discusses some serious topics, starting with the ethical and moral dilemma Sams anesthetist faced when trying to get registered blind women to sign and understand a legal consent form before her epidural procedure. Whilst also discussing Leo's first ophthalmology (eye) appointment and what is on the road for his 20-day old baby boy.

A serious podcast that we really recommend a listen to.
