A System for Safety
Giving a sample at the doctor’s office is a fairly routine event, but this office took it as a chance to offer a safe haven for those in need. Rather than leaving a single black marker to label your sample, they also included a red marker that had a secret meaning.
Anyone who needed to talk about domestic violence could mark their sample in red so that they could get private attention. Considering sharing such information is not only uncomfortable but also dangerous at times, we are glad that this office found a discreet way to help those who feel unsafe at home.
