Real Talk with Dr. Eric Saunders

Host Sumayyah Simone and guest Dr. Eric Saunders talk about how to respond to tough situations. Saunders was fired from his job at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey as an ophthalmologist. Saunders was born with no legs as a result of his mother taking Bendectin for morning sickness. During his childhood, he spent a lot of time in doctors’ offices and realized that there were children who were worse off than he was and decided he wanted to help by becoming a doctor. Thus, Saunders met the grueling challenge of medical school and became an ophthalmologist.
