Macabre Medicine

Imagine, it's nighttime, you wake from sleep, but you can't move! There's something in the corner of the room and it's coming closer. You want to scream, but can't. What the heck is going on? Is this a ghost, a demon, or something else going on? Hi, I'm Dr. Natasha Glover, a psychiatry resident from Canada. Join me for this wild pilot and learn about spooky medicine.
