"Help! I need Help!" A disheveled, red-faced, soccer coach storms through the emergency room doors carrying a limp, sunburned child. There were about ten girls behind the coach. All were wearing their stripped soccer uniforms and gulping down water from the fountain. Each was just as sunburned as the limp child and covered in dirt from the field. It was 1:30 PM in July 112 degrees Fahrenheit, the hottest temperature on record so far.

It is the beginning of summer and Jane Doe is commuting to her first dermatology appointment with Dr. Derma. In the exam room she sits in a black stationary chair. There is a green swivel chair we often see in exam rooms and a desk with a computer on it. It is the with bold face letters “Sun Safety” on the wall that catch Jane Doe’s attention right before there is a knock on the door. It opens and Dr. Derma walks in wearing a crisp white doctor’s coat with a file in hand. “Good morning Jane how are you doing today?” “I am doing okay. I am just here for a mole check-up. Though I do notice the posters on the wall and would like to learn more about sun safety.” “Of course! I am glad you are here and being an advocate for your health.” |
