Grassroots talks with: Dr Margaret Aranda

Dr. Margaret Aranda, is the second-born of seven Latina children. In 1985 she graduated California State University, Northridge, Cum Laude and went to Oral Roberts University Medical School. I graduated USC Medical School in 1990, completed Stanford Anesthesiology in 1995 and Stanford Critical Care in 1996.
She and her three year old daughter were in a tragic car accident in 2006, after a lady hit the gas instead of the brakes because her Chinese food was falling from the seat.                                                                                                       If it weren't for the car accident, I never would have had the time to write books. And I enjoy transferring her brain knowledge to paper, to contribute to society and medicine in her own way. Her biggest following is Face Book Caring Friends with Invisible Illnesses, and she received the 2011 Perseverance Award for her efforts, from the Invisible Disabilities Association.
