Faced with a tricky question and without all the info he wanted to have, Brian Fengler turned to the web for some help and guidance. We’ve all done it.

He spent precious time digging for answers without success. And while the decision he eventually made turned out fine for both mother and fetus, the episode gnawed at him — as both a clinician and an entrepreneur.
