We all seek the same thing: to help infertile couples start or grow their families.
It is through potentiating the power of our respective modalities of intervention that service to our respective patients will be improved.
Potentiation may be achieved by working together as a team.
Let's leave our egos where they belong: in the void; lets join forces so that together we can facilitate improved outcomes and more effectively serve our patients.
