morgan2.jpgDoc Talk is a weekly series that lets you go on a virtual visit to the doctor’s office. We ask the questions moms want answers to, and the physicians of Mercy Health System provide the answers via video podcast.

If you have a medical/pediatric question you’d like a video answer for, e-mail it to us and we may include it in an upcoming installment of Doc Talk. Click on the nurse’s photo to get more background info on her training.
