My group recently had the amazing opportunity to interview Michelle Gomez over facetime. Michelle is a BK (below the knee) amputee who has three kids and a caring husband. While working in South Africa in the Peace core, she got into a severe motorcycle accident and was unconscious for most of her emergency helicopter journey to the hospital. After amputations, people are often angry and regretful, but Michelle was different, she noticed how a local wouldn’t have been treated with the amount of care she had been treated with. She also loved to dance before the incident, so the first thing she asked the doctor after waking up from the surgery was if she would be able to dance with her new leg. All she wanted to do was be happy for herself and help others. The doctor made sure she would be able to dance by using different technology for her new leg. She was so amazed by the process, that she decided to pursue her passion for being a doctor so that she could help all the people who wouldn’t have gotten the amount of care she had received because of her skin color. She is an amazing person and someone who we look up to for that reason. I hope that everyone around her in her community and beyond have the same amount of passion for others health and safety that she does. She is truly an amazing person.
