The author credits Toussaint for her resiliency in a time when our presidency didn’t allow for mass immigration of Haitians at the time. Rose is the chief surgeon for the liver transplant center at Howard University Hospital. Not only that, but she is the only practicing Black woman liver transplant surgeon in the country. She trained at the University of Pittsburg medical school and attended Loyal University for schooling. She takes her job seriously and is highly accredited.
“DR. ROSE MARIE TOUSSAINT.” Embassy of Haiti. Accessed October 6, 2020. https://www.haiti.org/dt_team/dr-rose-marie-toussaint/.
The Embassy of Haiti provides a short excerpt on who Rose Marie is, and a few details regarding her life. Providing a backstory to her life as she is a physician, author, and health professional. She moved here, studied hard and started the rise to the top of the medical industry. Moving to private practice, she focuses on her patients and devotes her time to it.

Toussaint v. Howard University (UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA August 11, 2005).
In this court case Rose Marie brings forward to the court her concerns of employment discrimination within the University. Saying that unlawful discrimination was taking on the “bias of gender and disability”. She believed because of the bankruptcy she filed, that there was discrimination because of that. Although, the judge concluded that the decision was made prior to the bankruptcy filing. However, relief in another form was granted to Toussaint.
Toussaint, Rose-Marie, and Anthony E. Santaniello. Never Question the Miracle: a Surgeon's Story. New York: One World, Ballantine Pub. Group, 1998.
Toussaint writes her own book about her findings and adventures within the medical profession. She speaks on many different aspects of being a woman in the workforce, but not only that the only practicing black woman. She speaks on her love for it, and never taking a second for granted. Rose is a highly accredited professional who her colleagues speak volumes on in this excerpt.

editHi. I recently encountered Rose Marie Toussaint and looked her up to find information and found her Wikipedia page that I believe you primarily edited? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Marie_Toussaint. I don't think I would be up to the task of trying to edit it and get it accurate but there is much there that is out of date or not correct. It appears she has not been practicing as a surgeon for some time--several years? Not sure. She appears to have transitioned from transplant surgery to some form of general medical practice with a very heavy emphasis on "alternative" medicine (quackery?) and sale of supplements and the like through her website https://drrmtoussaint.com/about/ Macavity1971 (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
