0:09.7	Hello, it's Andrea.
0:11.7	Today, we have the first part in our new series about the lawsuit in San Diego involving
0:17.4	Rattie Children's.
0:18.9	This is a frequently requested topic for case files, and I'm incredibly thankful to Dr. Beck's
0:25.0	who is taking on the lion's share of the research and reporting on this one.

1:26.0	This kind of coverage takes a lot of resources in terms of time,
1:30.4	fact-checking, interviews, editing in production, legal guidance, etc. And I feel so grateful that we
