While many of us are well aware of the disparities in healthcare, this article written by a medical student, makes some good points about the need for more diversity at all levels in the medical field. What would you add to his thoughts?
Increasing the presence of minority groups within the medical field is a pressing issue in healthcare today. When one walks into the average doctor's office or hospital, one cannot help but realize that there is not enough diversity within the medical field. The sparingly present racial and ethnic groups in medicine are more formally referred to as the Underrepresented Minorities.

Grab the tissues because this article is a beautiful thank you note from the mother of an infant in the NICU. She refers to the Nurses in the NICU who took care of her baby as "background heroes". Always there offering comfort to both her and her baby; translating the doctor's language in to words she could understand; singing and reading to her baby; staying with him in the OR; and all the other important things the Nurses did to help her through it. She's not sure if she ever properly thanked you so she wrote this letter. It's beautiful and so are you for all you do for your patients and their families.

Not every patient gets their medication in a pill bottle. In other parts of the world these patients are handed their pills and must use whatever they have to keep the medication safe. In three easy steps you can make a difference for those patients.
Pill bottles: they are those translucent orange soldiers that pile up all around us... in our drawers, bags, cabinets... sometimes I wonder - if I had saved every empty pill bottle since I got sick, what would that look like?
