Tess Vigeland (the former voice of NPR's Marketplace) returns to the show for a very human conversation about the impact of a recent trip with a group of orthopedists providing services to children in Peru. What she saw, heard, and experienced on that trip had a profound impact on her, and she came back knowing that what she learned there will change the direction of her life...she just doesn't know how yet. And she's totally OK with not knowing.

Women have been delivering babies for literally millions of years without the assistance of the medical profession, but many doctors seem to have lost sight of that fact and are taking the approach of treating pregnancy like some new disease that's plaguing humankind and must be dealt with accordingly. It's annoying, to say the least. Can we fast forward to the part when the babies are here already? Oh, and Jackie didn't even freak out that we spent the whole time talking about babies, which was quite a feat!
