Excerpt from a podcast episode discussing airway health in dentistry, focusing on parental advocacy—particularly mothers—navigating a fragmented healthcare system and persistently seeking providers who will learn and improve care for their children.
You saying that you were an advocate for your daughter and taking her health into your own hands? That came up in conversation with one of my best friends who's not in the field but is an airway fanatic just because she's been exposed to it and has seen it in her own kids. And we were talking about how siloed and messed up the health system is just from a broad stroke, looking down at it and how really, what's going to demand and implement change are moms parents, but moms that are demanding better for their kids and not stopping when they get an unsatisfactory answer? You know, and that's, I think that's such another, another ripple effect that you can keep doing just by continuing to ask questions and seek out providers that will learn with you.
