Planting roots in New York City was an uncertain and scary journey for Dr. Edith Bracho-Sanchez but now she is making a true impact in the Bronx. Darla Miles has the story.A pediatrician in New York City is connecting and bonding with her patients after she overcame challenges in Venezuela to get to the Big Apple.
"We just got this notice, like you have 30 days to leave the country," Bracho-Sanchez said. "I remember being devastated that I had to leave the country.""By the time we returned, it was so clear that the country had changed, we almost felt like foreigners," Bracho-Sanchez said. Unable to find work in Caracas as educators, her parents took a job 12 hours way. Bracho-Sanchez and her sisters stayed back to attend university.
"It's hard and it's unpredictable, but it also makes you adaptable, and resilient," she said. "You're just built a little differently, you're able to roll with things as they come at you. And I think it's really served me in medicine."
