What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBethenny Frankel, the Real Housewives of New York City alum, says she was told to get a double mastectomy after what she calls a slightly nerve-wracking trip to a very high-end medical service.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorShe's sharing it publicly, and that matters, because a lot of people sit in a waiting room with a scary recommendation and never say a word about it.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe part that gets me is the phrase very high-end medical service. Even the scary appointment now comes with a premium tier.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA second opinion is a gift, Kenji. I wish someone had told me that before I hired my life coach.
