August 2003: A 17-year-old was burned over 75% of her body in a house fire when she was 4 causing severe scarring on her face, scalp, ears, neck, and chest. Her younger sister was also seriously burned and she lost her mother in the fire. She has endured painful surgeries over the last 13 years, yet has grown into an intelligent, well-adjusted young girl who lives in a loving foster family. Shriners Hospital has authorized permanently tattooed eyebrows. No medical personnel at Shriners or here can provide this service. Dr. Ke-Ping Tsao referred CCS to a permanent make-up specialist, but CCS cannot pay for this service because she is not a medical provider. Womenade!
