Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 this woman doctor is truly one of a kind. My mum had 4 healthy boys as it turned out and 4 healthy girls at an interesting time of her life. Dad was there caring for mum if there was a need to. Dad would otherwise peddle his way to work. My dad was of a farming background as was my mum. However, we were brought up in the city. Dr Deyoreo Lacquich please forgive my spelling. In mum's days of birthing the 1st an 2nd child the care in a rural hospital was the best. The city hospitals were equally as GOOD. Very good support and follow up; on mum and dad's part. These were the 1950s through to the 1970s. The support networks from the 1970s has wavered nevertheless the less, yet the scaffolding still remains hardy. Good Luck in your pursuits Dr Lacquich. Thanks Zach Highley for a highly Educational Interview. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Zach, you have a gift. As a mother of 5, so enjoyed this wonderful guest.

She is a great teacher
I’m not in medicine or plan to be, but I found this interview delightful! I find it so brave of doctors to speak out on the behalf of women and choice and agency over our own bodies. It’s so important that they do because we need front line voices to advocate for women whose voices are not heard. Thank you!

Really interesting interview ❤😊 I'm curious about her friend who is a radiologist now. Maybe a new interview about radiology? And how the future looks like with AI.

I love this! Probably the least God-like doctor I've ever seen. By all metrics she should have stayed away from med school but kept at it, and is now an excellent doctor. No ego, very relatable. ❤
She may be delivering me. I hope she honors my wishes❤
