Summary
In this Other People’s Problems first, Hillary lets us see her as the patient in this deeply personal cannabis session of her own. She feels back into the pain and heartbreak of miscarrying twins and a subsequent freak hemorrhage that nearly killed her. As she screams, “No!” and “It’s mine!,” she confronts the horror of watching first responders struggle to keep her alive and the feeling of losing control of what was happening to her own body.
New episodes will be released weekly on Mondays. Don't want to wait? Binge the whole season right now via CBC Stories Premium on Apple Podcasts.
