“My normal is not normal anymore,” reflects Dr. Ravi, who founded a practice for people who have experienced human trafficking and sexual trauma. “I’ve had to unlearn the traditional ways we deliver healthcare in order to do it better.” Like other family physicians, Dr. Ravi strives to optimize her patients’ chronic disease management, but she does so within a unique context of physical and psychological violence perpetrated by traffickers or abusers. Many of her patients live under constant threat of physical and emotional harm, thus shifting the clinical risk calculus that most physicians are taught in medical school.
