And it was only later on during the course of treatment, as it got worse, that it kind of jogged their memory and they brought it to the doctor’s attention.

2. Steven Choi:

3. Marc Polymeropoulos:

   The House bill demonstrates that the Marc Polymeropoulos government may finally take seriously the long-term health care needs of the victims, and, given the moral injury that we have all faced of initially not being believed by our own agencies, we are grateful that a bipartisan group of senators has been so resolutely supportive.

4. Tokunbo Koiki:

Being born with a facial difference becomes a life journey that has a lot to do with acceptance. I've learned with patients who are burn survivors -- not victims, survivors -- initially their relationship with the prosthesis changes, too, throughout their lives ... What I try to tell them is, they've been through a lot already, it will also take adapting to the new way they look.
