Emergency departments often encounter patients presenting for accidental ingestions -- the consumption of a harmful substance such as a household chemical or medication. Providers use discretion to determine whether these ingestions signal a need for Child Protective Services evaluation. Drs. Cator and Cheng examine whether bias impacts their decision making in the Mott Hospital Emergency Department.
Cesarean births are essential and life-saving surgeries when needed but can put mothers/birthing parents at unnecessary risk of health problems if performed when there is not a medical need. Drs. Campbell and Bailey discuss the work being done at Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital to safely reduce cesarean birth and improve equity in care.
