0:00.0	medically what did the doctors tell you.
0:02.1	Doctor said to me, listen, don't expect to have a baby.
0:04.6	We're going to save your wife because the baby is anyway the lost case from their point.
0:08.7	Alta Fixler was born eight weeks prematurely in Manchester, England, and suffered severe brain
0:13.3	damage at birth.
