Description

What has the healthcare experience been like for our patients?  Have they been faced with conscious or unconscious bias when seeking treatment?  Has their independence or privacy been invaded during routine administrative and healthcare procedures?  Dr. Pierre Plourde will overview healthcare bias, followed by the stories of our representative patients, Donna Dumas and her son, Keith Easter, and Bill Morgan.

William MorganWilliam (Bill) Morgan lost the majority of his eye sight at the age of five due to an allergic reaction to penicillin (Steven-Johnsons Syndrome). Bill’s vision remained stable throughout the years (light perception at near distance and ability to read large print at one-inch left eye only) until the decision was made to travel to Miami, Florida to explore sight restoration surgery in 2006. It was determined at the initial assessment that Bill was an excellent candidate for the procedures as he could produce tears and that it was likely he would regain some vision. Bill returned to Miami in 2006 and 2007 to undergo lengthy surgeries which included eye reconstruction followed by stem cell transplantation. Fortunately, the procedures were a success and he regained some of
his vision along with his independence. Approximately ten years later, complications led to Bill losing all of his functional vision. Bill is now only able to see the difference between light and dark.
