Bogle’s daughter, Susannah, then five, caught a stomach virus that landed her in the emergency room after a day of misery. Her face was pale and sunken, and Bogle, a mother of three, was worried. A nurse gave Susannah medicine that helped right away. Bogle, who’s seldom without her camera, took this photo as she reflected on “how privileged we were to have this access” to modern medical care. Weeks later, Bogle reports, she was back in the emergency room—this time with her son, whose split lip needed stitches.
