On today’s Episode we have in studio Dr. Paramjeet Singh MD as we discuss all types of Colon & Rectal Surgery
Introducing The CROC Podcast.
I want you to forget everything about your cancer! I want you to start with a blank slate.
CROC is a not so much a thing but rather a movement for survivors to gather, to learn, to be nourished and to connect and for a brief moment, forget about the future and focus on the now!
In 1999, I tried an experiment based on my observation of the interactions between my patients. I took a leap a faith and started something who’s power to soothe, who’s potential to cure, and who’s capacity to find light in darkness, joy in sorrow, laughter in fear was completely unexpected.
Together we turned tragedy into triumph.
Welcome to the CROC Podcast with Dr. Tom Eanelli… I look forward to our Journey… Peace.
