1. Very scary moment this week. My daughter fell at school & had a decent gash on her face. Pretty deep involving the eyebrow. Although the ER physician felt confident in being able to repair it, I asked for the professional courtesy of calling plastics.
2. The @EmoryMedicine plastics fellow came & repaired it in 2 layers & I know she will do well. I’ve thought a lot about the situation this week for 2 reasons. First, I’m blessed to be in a position to know the benefits of the repair by plastics & to be able to make that request
3. Second, the knowledge that a poorly healed scar on my daughter’s face will significantly affect her future socially, emotionally & even economically based upon what career she may want to pursue. Not thinking abt modeling but more about sales & any other client facing career.
4. This all comes back to the discussion about #healthequity. Unequal access to care that leads to the best healthcare possible goes beyond a single #healthcare encounter. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER @uche_blackstock @oni_blackstock @arghavan_salles @gradydoctor @kari_jerge @karenhunter
