... that gynecologistMary Lake Polan wrote a medical mystery novel to "demystify" the procedures behind in vitro fertilization? Source: ""One reason I wrote the book is to demystify the new techniques being used in infertility clinics," she says. "People talk about things like in vitro - fertilization, but I'm not sure how many people know what it means. If people come to understand it through reading a medical thriller, maybe it won't seem so scary or bizarre."" - Doctor-Author Delivers Realistic Mystery Novel
Overall: Moved to mainspace on 2 February. Article is long enough and is adequately sourced. Copyvio check is fine. The hook is short enough, interesting, and sourced. Proper QPQ done. The hyphen in "de-mystify" should be removed, but otherwise, this is good to go. Riley1012 (talk) 20:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
