27 AGO 2024 · I wanted her to know I'm a person, not just a name on a paper..." These are the words of Sharon Holmes, a breast cancer survivor who initially had a "normal" mammogram, but three months later discovered she had stage II breast cancer. How is this possible? Unfortunately, Sharon was not alone.
Welcome to Episode 33 where we discuss the unbelievable case of Rachel Rapraeger, a mammography technician whose decisions and actions would negatively impact over 1000 women, including two women who likely died because their breast cancer wasn't caught soon enough. Because Rachel saw the women who entrusted her with their care as a number, or a backlog of cases, rather than human beings, she didn't "fully consider the consequences" of her decisions and actions. Depersonalization can kill and unfortunately, justice wasn't served for Rachel's Victims.
