abstract="In a recent research project on the lived experience of body modifiers--identified as those with piercings, tattoos, scarification/branding, and/or suspension/hook pull experiences--the researcher documents synergistic resistance on the part of participants, and the institutional review board. This dynamic reflects a long history of problematic academic publications. The real world impact of this is felt by those bearing modification that desire health care. <br><br>DISCUSSION focuses on post-colonial methods, snowball sampling, findings of institutionally constructed medical bias, and the first known reports of stigma impacting medical care delivery for those who have body modifications.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
