Lecture for at LSU Public Hospital, Aug. 3 in NOLA

On August 3, I'll be doing a lecture with a PowerPoint presentation at LSU Public Hospital. The title is "Sociocultural and Healthcare Implications of Body Piercing."

The information will be very useful to you if you are a professional who works in medical settings. It will help you to understand who gets pierced and why--and may increase your sensitivity to pierced patients, especially if you have any negative attitudes or preconceived notions about pierced individuals.

I'll be providing a great deal of practical information for those who work with pierced patients, especially in the Emergency Room and Operating Room.

It is free to hospital employees, but the public can attend for $10.00. Here's information including a sign up form.
