Despite performing an abortion in her best interest, a septic infection tragically claimed Hattie's life. Dr. Telford's actions put his professional standing at risk as he grappled with the legal consequences. Join us as we delve into the complex history of Dr. Robert Telford and the life-altering consequences of his choices in a bygone era.
