One more story. In further addressing my severe allergies, I went to see a doctor who was middle eastern. Before I uttered a word she walked in and told me I was having issues because I was drinking too much soda and eating too much red meat. I needed to lower my blood pressure. I stared at her and flatly said ‘I’m a vegetarian, I have exactly 2 sodas a year, and I suffer from low blood pressure. This bias is contagious…sometimes minorities who consider themselves white adjacent, treat black people the same way as racist white people.
This is the TRUTH. Also, I notice most medical staff are these people and they DO NOT Listen or respect what we have too say. I had one female to say to me when I requested another medication because the common one issued was too strong, she said how many medical degrees do I have. I got up got dressed and I wrote letters too every administration medical association, hospital administration, even too some local news medias. I left notes on bulletin boards too patients, especially the black women soldiers and veterans. I said I would make it my mission to look out for US. I do see after some time when I do use this service, it is getting better with those doctors since it seems they dominate the field. We just always have too say things when we know something is not right. Get up and get out if they ignore you, have nasty attitudes in your care. These medical issues are real.
Like my haemotologist, who suggested that I get tested for HIV. As if I wouldn't have known that after I told her the issues I'm having are as a result of having my second son. If I were HIV positive, I would have known that at the time.
I've had three of these doctors, (1 Asian), almost kill me by overprescribing drugs! One even knowing that I had been taking the drug called me in two days later. Asked me if I wanted an ambulance or do I want to drive myself to the ER. This doctor prescribed a drug that made my blood pressure skyrocket!! Notice too that he should have told me to stop taking this drug when he called me two days earlier. But instead he allowed me to continue taking a drug that was extremely dangerous to my health! When I got home I checked the drug. It said I should take no more than 500 MG, under any circumstances. What did this racist fool give me 1500 MG. BTW, he was ASIAN. So you have to watch them too...
In today’s medical care, patients have to do their own research to find out the damage caused by any type of prescription, procedures (surgery) and other treatments prescribed by doctors. The key is being an aware consumer and research anything you need to know .🇺🇸
Yea at one point I was prescribed 15 pills. I went to see my Black male Gyno and he was like why are you taking all those pills? Your liver will be bad in 10 yrs.
He does not and never cared to be a physician. He's just in it for status and money. His family propelled him to be a physician. Men from this specific demographic (and the POCS who are of a similar mindset) are absolutely dangerous and lack humanity...if they had any at all.
My aunt passed away from stage 4 stomach cancer that could have been detected way earlier if her doctor would have listened to her when she kept telling him she was in pain. He told her it was nothing…. and if she questioned something he said he would say who’s the doctor here 😐

I had one horrible black female GYN. She was about to do a procedure of scrapping my uterus many, many years ago. She said ," We don't have any screaming in here." I told her if I feel pain, I'm going to make noise. She threatened me with rescheduling my appointment with another doctor. I didn't report her, but in hindsight, I should have. I'm a senior person now and demand better treatment whenever I feel I'm not being respected. "Patient Advocate" is who you ask to see if you're ever disrespected by medical staff.

Also, every culture has their own medicinal treatments and cures that the west calls "diabolical." It's a way to discredit what those cultures know and use about medicine and healthcare.

It's worst when it comes from your own people. When I had my last child . My doctor was a young black woman I was happy to see a young black obstetrician who was a woman to boot. She was actually the worst the white nurses fought for me listened to me when she was ignoring what I was telling her( note this was my 3rd child 2nd c section and my eldest child have been on this earth longer than she has been a practicing doctor) yet she was so dismissive and totally ignorant 😔 💔 .

Yes. I was shocked when Dr Jackie said that Bw exaggerate pain and if we did less then maybe Dr will take us serious. Sadly, we need to advocate for ourselves no matter what. Many medical students have stated how this rayzim is ingrained in the books.
True not doctor but I purposely hired a black female lawyer and she screwed me over and didn't help me out with anything just took my money.I was young.I didn't realize all skin folks aren't kin folks.
He knew exactly what he was doing. There are a significant number of black doctors he could have reached out to even if his own workplace has none. One who comes to mind is the wonderful @joelbervell It's also very telling the the question was initially addressed only to those like himself and as and after thought he addressed the "black community". Wolves in sheep clothing are wolves all the same!
I went to a dentist in my area ., to get a tooth out ., well his medicine needles didn’t work ., he grabbed my tooth and wouldn’t let it go ., I told him I was in a lot of pain ., he said he will have it out soon ., I was crying so bad , while he was yanking my tooth out my head ., he and nurse were on top of me while I’m almost on the floor ., I never experienced so much pain before .,
I had a dentist attempting to pull an infected tooth and it was causing me so much pain and he tried to argue with me that I was feeling pressure, not pain. Then he sent me home with the tooth half-pulled. I asked my grandma if having her teeth pulled had hurt and she said only the one that was infected, they gave me antibiotics, had me come back in a week and pulled it, no problem. This guy never prescribed me antibiotics or another appointment. I just had a tooth half in my mouth for months with puss oozing until I saw another dentist for something else, he saw it in my mouth and was shocked the other dentist didn't prescribe me antibiotics and pull it. He finished the job because it was half out already. It still hurt like hell, but it was over and he didn't gaslight me and insist the pain wasn't pain. And he also prescribed me antibiotics. The next time I went to get a tooth pulled (the filling the first dentist did destroyed the tooth), I was in absolute terror given how much pain I'd been in before to the point I made even the dentist worried, but it had to come out. She pulled it and I felt NOTHING. I almost wept realizing it could have gone that smoothly had they taken the proper steps.
If it's such a problem I don't understand why he doesn't have a sign like every bank has, stating to end your phone call before you enter the room or the facility.
Had a Fine Needle Aspiration in my thyroid at a Winter Park Hospital in Orlando. I am certain the doctor did not use any anesthesia. Had the same procedure a couple more times and had a far better experience. We need more black doctors in our communities. BTW, some of them only prescribe drugs over and over treating only symptoms over and over, enriching themselves at our expense.
That is why I accompany my husband, parents, siblings and other family and friends when they go to any doctor or hospital. If I have to go by myself, someone would be in the phone. We all have those kinds of trauma from the medical community.
I am a black nurse who worked for a black doctor for 10 years. I generally did not have this problem. I have had patients be referred to a specialist and ask the nurse to make sure I get a summary and than call me for an explanation. Bottom line they don't trust your and you don't speak their language. Another reason could possibly be that many black people literary don't understand what you are especially when using medical terminology. So often we will have a friend or family member who is a medical professional to explain it.
My 62 yr old husband died in 2020 . I am still devastated after being w/ him for 33 yrs . Went to emergency for severe pain in stomach , back and leg . All the young dr Dmv Ave was an X-ray and found no concerns gave him Dilaudid medication twice 7 times stronger than morphine. Sent him home said we can’t do anything. He died the next day of a stomach aneurysm, where the major blood vessel burst, and he bled internally to death.. I wish I realize how differently we are treated and how they do the bare minimum I wished I would have insisted on an ultrasound more test or went to another hospital and you are right it could be in your life

I read tons of medical articles. And I realize when it comes to something affecting African Americans, they were literally highlighted and pointed out. But if there's anything that directly affects white people, they won't mention it. They will make it an everybody issue instead of an individual issue like they call out black people,For example, the whole milk campaign in the 90s was dedicated 2 white people because they suffer osteoporosis at an extremely high rate. Yet most people of color black Mexican asain ect are lactose intolerant and don't suffer from Osteoporosis at a alarming rate..
I had this convo today with my therapist. I have several times where medical pros have left me literally crying for ignoring me, disregarding me and literally kicking me out of the room and lying in my chart after my pcp reported them.... I. Don't. Trust. Doctors in America. I already have research done for if we have a child. Leaving the country.
@@Truuu24I'm convinced that they spend their entire lives, gaslighting, thinking that being a good person is good enough...even when their intentions are in the dumpster....
I am African, living in America and I do the very same thing and support everyone who does it too. Either I have someone on the phone or a literal physical person in the room. There has been many times that I swear to God I told a doctor I am used to natural medicine and not pharmaceuticals and they just brushed me off as if it did not mean anything. Last I had a small procedure, I had a horrible reaction because I was trying to reason with the doctor that the meds might be too strong for my body to handle, but I guess they thought they knew better. Well, how about the ridiculous questions of diseases that were eradicated in Africa like 50 years ago. Like come on, you know the question to that answer doctor.
All my doctors are black or I don’t have one! My father is still a practicing physician at 85 because he knows a lot of us feel this way also we are Afrocuban so my father speaks fluent Spanish that was well respected by his Latino patients
I was on anti depressants for years and they helped. I moved 3 hours away and tried to resume medication but they said they will not give me drugs here because of course I am black so I am just looking for drugs. Im also a chronic pain patient and can not get the help needed.
Okay, okay. Can we please have more black doctors, assistant physicians and nurse practitioners? Please. Young people, please do us all a favor and go in to medicine and help your community. I once challenged my pediatrician - in a nice way. She was furious. But you know what? I didn't back down. She was forced to do some research and educate herself on the spot. Oh, she was mad. She was actually covering for the regular pediatrician. WHen the regular pediatrician approached me, he apologized profusely. He said "I didn't know." I said, "Yes, I knew you didn't know. That's why I brought objective research with me." I wasn't mad at the regular pediatrician. I just knew in my heart, the answer is getting better trained and more black doctors. Of course there are black doctors who swallowed the racism pill. Stories for other days.
I'm so tired of other nationalities grouping ALL Blk people together, especially YT people! When I go to see my doctor and forget to turn my phone off, if it rings, I tell whomever called that I'm seeing my doctor right now and I'll call you back! This is why I rarely! choose a YT doctor to take care of my health concerns. Shameful he shouldn't be a doctor!
I went to an allergist a couple years ago and while I don’t keep someone on the phone, I would usually call my nurse friend right after an appointment to help unpack everything. She’s white (not that it matters really) and though I use to be a certified Med Assistant, it’s been decades and I don’t know everything. The one time I didn’t call her, my allergist prescribed a medication that causes suicidal thoughts and had in fact been recalled. I took it for 2 weeks and noticed I was having these thoughts, and my brain would kick in and say, this is not you. I called my friend and we looked up the medication and found out it was bad. Called the doctor…she never called me back, never said another word to me. Yeah…I keep my friends or daughter on the line. Even further back, my nurse choked me, while I was in labor, until I blacked out. Texas Womens Hospital in Houston Texas. Was a white make nurse, who took me from my room, off by myself. Cut open my gown, then choked me. I convinced myself it didn’t happen, until my bestie said I told her, almost immediately after I woke up after they brought me back to my room. AND he would not let her come with when he took me.
I don't have someone on the phone but I do record the session after my former PCP told me it would serve me right when I get C**vid and die because I refused a flu shot.
He is well within his right to ask, but he should ask his patience instead of the internet. We need a witness. We are not treated well. I just went to a white doctor where his clinic was dirty AF. He got annoyed that I told him I wasn't pursuing him as my doctor. I got back on the phone with the VA and told them that they need to do better when they select doctors. I was in boot camp and had to get a leep and the doctor didn't give me anasthesia and went at my cervix with a laser and had the nerve to shush me, when I screamed. His excuse was, "I didn't have a needle long enough to reach your cervix". Since then I hate using the VA, I try not use them if I don't have to.
"... I'm not racist, but ( he it comes)* It's respectful to not be on the phone during, ... It's also respectful ( ... And I'm many cases illegal) not to conduct unethical experiments on patients without their full knowledge and consent.
He knew the answer, he's just chasing clout. As a medical professional for 21 years, if he truly is a doctor, there are a couple of thick binders located at the nursing station regarding the facilities policies, standards of practice and next to that is a thick book about cultural competencies. It's talks about every culture, using a holistic approach regarding their practices, possible reactions to pain, and cultural practices during death. So, he is clearly lying
I unfortunately live in Texas, not born here, but my dad was transferred here, so. I can tell you first hand Texas , especially here in Houston with the biggest Medical centers etc. is the worst when it comes to POC i the hospitals and ER not just by the Caucasian community, Indian, Asian, etc. there's probably 5 % that you can trust in the entire state.
The Female White Dr., stated his egregious disregard for African American perfectly. He was hoping that the internet community would side with him; his so called apology was disingenuous. Shameful.
Me personally I've never done it. Only because I feel its disrespectful to have a phone to your ear while speaking with someone. Not just doctors but in any public space but i can understand why some people do
I had a growth on my face, went to the doc. He looked and asked why are you here? He took one look at it and said oh thats nothing. I said so this is ok? He shrugs condisendingly and says we can remove it if you want. I get biopsie results and guess what it was something.
Crazy as it may seem unfortunately I was blessed to have white doctors that actually wanted to do their jobs but then again some black doctors who didn't do their job very well and was incompetent and completely tone deaf but then again I had some beautiful black doctors and nurses that went to bat for me and did the work to save my life. Yes medicial apartied is real but just remember it's not just yt medical professionals it's our own kind not all skin folk is kinfolk
This! Left a whole Black Male doctor that couldn't remember anything in my chart from my previous birth, would not figure out why I was bleeding, never was on time, and had me waiting 3 hours for a belly measure.
I think the question was Genuine coming from HIM. But keep in mind it's a question coming from a people who always felt they didn't HAVE to understand anybody else in the world. The world is all about THEM, so why care about anybody else? This is like a brother or sister in your immediate family who is always the favorite or the Golden child. They will receive all sorts of privileges and favors, but notice how they NEVER speak up for how the one who ISN'T the favorite is being treated. They have no concern. They only have concern when THEY are not treated the way are used to be treated and thereby perceive their FAIR treatment as unfair. I've seen this over and over. JUST as now when we are trying to make things fair and equal, they think they are being discriminated against and CAN'T understand the issues of POC. They dont really care, because they never HAD to care.
Let's start with the fact that his question is disingenuous! That's very disconcerting and disappointing! However, it's not surprising because we've walked this road before. Secondly, Jessica Pettway, a CZcams influencer, recently passed in part due to medical apartheid; and there was also a CZcams video showing a Bl🖤ck child who was being treated for some kind of ear injury by a yt doctor without numbing agents. The poor child kept saying, it hurts bad but the doctor ignored him and continued the treatment without once acknowledging the child's pain. The Mom finally had to ask the doctor to stop and use a numbing agent to numb the area before he continued. Third, at one time or another a BP, I and my family members included, have been subjected to medical apartheid. Moreover, some BP do so as a form of protection and evidentiary proof in the same way that we instinctively turn on our video recorders during traffic stops by LEO and interactions with yt folks! If he has a problem with that then he's part of the problem.
Lawyer and judges swore and oath to the BAR association to practice law.. you wonder why there is no true justice in the country… doctors and nurses swore and oath to treat not heal. Medical practice! What’s worse is that the treatment you get is based off the insurance you have…you have to be careful of the contracts you signed with them via law enforcement, medical exams, etc…the system keeps a file on everything you do and sign. If you have medical insurance take time out and read the contract.. remember we speak English but the contracts are written in a Legalese. So get a Black’s law dictionary and interpret what it is saying… yes there is medical racism going on in the medical field, American history proves that. Smallpox in the blankets of the indigenous peoples of America along with medical practices on black peoples with science without telling them..
FAMILY....I THINK ANY TIME YOU ARE WITH THEM FOLKS , YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE ON THE PHONE OR RECORDING IT , WE ALL SHOULD BE DOING THIS FOR OUR SAFETY . NONE CAN BE TRUSTED. ITS LIKE HAVING A PIT FILLED WITH SNAKES , SOME POISONOUS AND SOME NOT.....THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH IS WHICH SO JUST ASSUME. THEY ALL ARE.....THATS HOW WE HAVE TO MOVE WITH THESE CAVE FOLKS.

I Litterly had this very conversation yesterday with my 86 year old aunt.
True not doctor but I purposely hired a black female lawyer and she screwed me over and didn't help me out with anything just took my money.I was young.I didn't realize all skin folks aren't kin folks.
@misslola007 crazy right and we are the ones who made her big by supporting her from her show ( married to medicine)
He knew exactly what he was doing. There are a significant number of black doctors he could have reached out to even if his own workplace has none. One who comes to mind is the wonderful @joelbervell It's also very telling the the question was initially addressed only to those like himself and as and after thought he addressed the "black community". Wolves in sheep clothing are wolves all the same!
our Bible tells us about these people. There is no understanding in them. They’ll never understand they can’t.
They are disrespectful and ignorant not just as patients but as people in general on dailly basis
Always
That doctor spent more time on his hair than he did communicating with his patients.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I went to a dentist in my area ., to get a tooth out ., well his medicine needles didn’t work ., he grabbed my tooth and wouldn’t let it go ., I told him I was in a lot of pain ., he said he will have it out soon ., I was crying so bad , while he was yanking my tooth out my head ., he and nurse were on top of me while I’m almost on the floor ., I never experienced so much pain before .,
I had a dentist attempting to pull an infected tooth and it was causing me so much pain and he tried to argue with me that I was feeling pressure, not pain. Then he sent me home with the tooth half-pulled. I asked my grandma if having her teeth pulled had hurt and she said only the one that was infected, they gave me antibiotics, had me come back in a week and pulled it, no problem. This guy never prescribed me antibiotics or another appointment. I just had a tooth half in my mouth for months with puss oozing until I saw another dentist for something else, he saw it in my mouth and was shocked the other dentist didn't prescribe me antibiotics and pull it. He finished the job because it was half out already. It still hurt like hell, but it was over and he didn't gaslight me and insist the pain wasn't pain. And he also prescribed me antibiotics. The next time I went to get a tooth pulled (the filling the first dentist did destroyed the tooth), I was in absolute terror given how much pain I'd been in before to the point I made even the dentist worried, but it had to come out. She pulled it and I felt NOTHING. I almost wept realizing it could have gone that smoothly had they taken the proper steps.
It gives us security and a witness to how we may be treated
If it's such a problem I don't understand why he doesn't have a sign like every bank has, stating to end your phone call before you enter the room or the facility.
Had a Fine Needle Aspiration in my thyroid at a Winter Park Hospital in Orlando. I am certain the doctor did not use any anesthesia. Had the same procedure a couple more times and had a far better experience. We need more black doctors in our communities. BTW, some of them only prescribe drugs over and over treating only symptoms over and over, enriching themselves at our expense.
If anyone is going to read “Medical Apartheid” or “Acres of Skin”, please please prepare yourself, I wish I had! It’s good, but it’s traumatic!
That is why I accompany my husband, parents, siblings and other family and friends when they go to any doctor or hospital. If I have to go by myself, someone would be in the phone. We all have those kinds of trauma from the medical community.
This is EXACTLY why I don't go to the doctor. I go out of my way to take care of myself: exercise & diet 😊❤😊❤😊❤ thanks for stirring this conversation
Same
Facts. I ain't going nowhere until God seems fit.
I am a black nurse who worked for a black doctor for 10 years. I generally did not have this problem. I have had patients be referred to a specialist and ask the nurse to make sure I get a summary and than call me for an explanation. Bottom line they don't trust your and you don't speak their language. Another reason could possibly be that many black people literary don't understand what you are especially when using medical terminology. So often we will have a friend or family member who is a medical professional to explain it.
I have a copy of Medical Apartheid. Had the opportunity and the honor to cite this book for a presentation I wrote during my Freshman year in college.
That guy should not be a doctor. It's scary knowing there are many more like him in the medical field.
All he had to do was GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 62 yr old husband died in 2020 . I am still devastated after being w/ him for 33 yrs . Went to emergency for severe pain in stomach , back and leg . All the young dr Dmv Ave was an X-ray and found no concerns gave him Dilaudid medication twice 7 times stronger than morphine. Sent him home said we can’t do anything. He died the next day of a stomach aneurysm, where the major blood vessel burst, and he bled internally to death.. I wish I realize how differently we are treated and how they do the bare minimum I wished I would have insisted on an ultrasound more test or went to another hospital and you are right it could be in your life
It sounds like a rant in oppose to a question…
THE BOOK WILL MAKE U NEVER GO TO THEIR DOCTORS AGAIN👺👺👺👺ITS SCARY HOW THEY BRAG ON THE ABUSE THEY “ STILL” DO TO US👺👺👺 ITS A VERY THICK BOOK WITH TINY WRITING BUT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING U WILL BE SICK TO YOUR STOMACH AS A MELENATED WOMAN👺👺👺👺👺ITS HORRIFIC TO SAY THE LEAST. GET IT AUDIO IF TOO IF U CAN UNLESS U HAVE ALOT OF TIME TO READ✍🏾🧠
I read tons of medical articles. And I realize when it comes to something affecting African Americans, they were literally highlighted and pointed out. But if there's anything that directly affects white people, they won't mention it. They will make it an everybody issue instead of an individual issue like they call out black people,For example, the whole milk campaign in the 90s was dedicated 2 white people because they suffer osteoporosis at an extremely high rate. Yet most people of color black Mexican asain ect are lactose intolerant and don't suffer from Osteoporosis at a alarming rate..
I had this convo today with my therapist. I have several times where medical pros have left me literally crying for ignoring me, disregarding me and literally kicking me out of the room and lying in my chart after my pcp reported them.... I. Don't. Trust. Doctors in America. I already have research done for if we have a child. Leaving the country.
Do to medical racism, this is why, either he doesn't know about medical racism or he's being willfully ignorant about the matter...
I’m gonna go with the second option…
He wants to ignore it and make like it doesn't exist how they always do
@@Truuu24I'm convinced that they spend their entire lives, gaslighting, thinking that being a good person is good enough...even when their intentions are in the dumpster....
I don't see that they put effort into being a good person. They want you to believe that though. Action speaks louder than words.
Door number 2...
He knows...
I am African, living in America and I do the very same thing and support everyone who does it too. Either I have someone on the phone or a literal physical person in the room. There has been many times that I swear to God I told a doctor I am used to natural medicine and not pharmaceuticals and they just brushed me off as if it did not mean anything. Last I had a small procedure, I had a horrible reaction because I was trying to reason with the doctor that the meds might be too strong for my body to handle, but I guess they thought they knew better. Well, how about the ridiculous questions of diseases that were eradicated in Africa like 50 years ago. Like come on, you know the question to that answer doctor.
All my doctors are black or I don’t have one! My father is still a practicing physician at 85 because he knows a lot of us feel this way also we are Afrocuban so my father speaks fluent Spanish that was well respected by his Latino patients
His brain focused on that and not healing , he needs a head doctor to look at his heart in his foot. And his head in his little toe.
I was on anti depressants for years and they helped. I moved 3 hours away and tried to resume medication but they said they will not give me drugs here because of course I am black so I am just looking for drugs. Im also a chronic pain patient and can not get the help needed.
Okay, okay. Can we please have more black doctors, assistant physicians and nurse practitioners? Please. Young people, please do us all a favor and go in to medicine and help your community. I once challenged my pediatrician - in a nice way. She was furious. But you know what? I didn't back down. She was forced to do some research and educate herself on the spot. Oh, she was mad. She was actually covering for the regular pediatrician. WHen the regular pediatrician approached me, he apologized profusely. He said "I didn't know." I said, "Yes, I knew you didn't know. That's why I brought objective research with me." I wasn't mad at the regular pediatrician. I just knew in my heart, the answer is getting better trained and more black doctors. Of course there are black doctors who swallowed the racism pill. Stories for other days.
My cousin in Ohio just died yesterday morning because of this
OMG! I’m so sorry💔
My condolences 🙏🏾💜✊🏿
Condolences.
I'm so tired of other nationalities grouping ALL Blk people together, especially YT people! When I go to see my doctor and forget to turn my phone off, if it rings, I tell whomever called that I'm seeing my doctor right now and I'll call you back! This is why I rarely! choose a YT doctor to take care of my health concerns. Shameful he shouldn't be a doctor!
I've read the book. A must read
Money and issues of trust. We have to protect ourselves
I went to an allergist a couple years ago and while I don’t keep someone on the phone, I would usually call my nurse friend right after an appointment to help unpack everything. She’s white (not that it matters really) and though I use to be a certified Med Assistant, it’s been decades and I don’t know everything. The one time I didn’t call her, my allergist prescribed a medication that causes suicidal thoughts and had in fact been recalled. I took it for 2 weeks and noticed I was having these thoughts, and my brain would kick in and say, this is not you. I called my friend and we looked up the medication and found out it was bad. Called the doctor…she never called me back, never said another word to me.
Yeah…I keep my friends or daughter on the line.
Even further back, my nurse choked me, while I was in labor, until I blacked out. Texas Womens Hospital in Houston Texas. Was a white make nurse, who took me from my room, off by myself. Cut open my gown, then choked me. I convinced myself it didn’t happen, until my bestie said I told her, almost immediately after I woke up after they brought me back to my room. AND he would not let her come with when he took me.
You should have filed a police report. You said that nurse chocked you, she need to be reported. Question is why didn’t you.
Yeah, still hunting down a black female doctor. Very rare in Oregon, they get full fast. Been living with pain since 2001…💯😢
I don't have someone on the phone but I do record the session after my former PCP told me it would serve me right when I get C**vid and die because I refused a flu shot.
He is well within his right to ask, but he should ask his patience instead of the internet. We need a witness. We are not treated well. I just went to a white doctor where his clinic was dirty AF. He got annoyed that I told him I wasn't pursuing him as my doctor. I got back on the phone with the VA and told them that they need to do better when they select doctors. I was in boot camp and had to get a leep and the doctor didn't give me anasthesia and went at my cervix with a laser and had the nerve to shush me, when I screamed. His excuse was, "I didn't have a needle long enough to reach your cervix". Since then I hate using the VA, I try not use them if I don't have to.
Thanks for sharing with us..
"... I'm not racist, but ( he it comes)*
It's respectful to not be on the phone during, ... It's also respectful ( ... And I'm many cases illegal) not to conduct unethical experiments on patients without their full knowledge and consent.
I always bring somebody with me or they are on the phone
Reparations now!
He knew the answer, he's just chasing clout. As a medical professional for 21 years, if he truly is a doctor, there are a couple of thick binders located at the nursing station regarding the facilities policies, standards of practice and next to that is a thick book about cultural competencies. It's talks about every culture, using a holistic approach regarding their practices, possible reactions to pain, and cultural practices during death. So, he is clearly lying
I unfortunately live in Texas, not born here, but my dad was transferred here, so. I can tell you first hand Texas , especially here in Houston with the biggest Medical centers etc. is the worst when it comes to POC i the hospitals and ER not just by the Caucasian community, Indian, Asian, etc. there's probably 5 % that you can trust in the entire state.
The Female White Dr., stated his egregious disregard for African American perfectly. He was hoping that the internet community would side with him; his so called apology was disingenuous. Shameful.
She brought on the slave master mentality.
...OR simply ask his patients. 🤷♀️
Me personally I've never done it. Only because I feel its disrespectful to have a phone to your ear while speaking with someone. Not just doctors but in any public space but i can understand why some people do
We don't feel safe they have no Ideal, they can't walk in our shoes
In my area all the doctors are foreigners with foreign degrees. Where are the decent non racist American doctors at???
Are those foreign doctors racist? Where are they from?
Hmmmm… Perhaps the patient is taken aback immediately when they see his Nazi hair cut.
I had a growth on my face, went to the doc. He looked and asked why are you here? He took one look at it and said oh thats nothing. I said so this is ok? He shrugs condisendingly and says we can remove it if you want. I get biopsie results and guess what it was something.
Crazy as it may seem unfortunately I was blessed to have white doctors that actually wanted to do their jobs but then again some black doctors who didn't do their job very well and was incompetent and completely tone deaf but then again I had some beautiful black doctors and nurses that went to bat for me and did the work to save my life. Yes medicial apartied is real but just remember it's not just yt medical professionals it's our own kind not all skin folk is kinfolk
This! Left a whole Black Male doctor that couldn't remember anything in my chart from my previous birth, would not figure out why I was bleeding, never was on time, and had me waiting 3 hours for a belly measure.
👍🏾 Cindy, your aesthetic is GORGEOUS! Your eyeglass frames, lip gloss, turtleneck, background... Absolutely FABULOUS! 😃❤
OMG!! Thank you so much🙌🏽🙏🏽💃🏾 you just made my day🌹❤️💃🏾😁
@@CindysVilla: 😂 You are most welcome! 😊 Glad I could brighten your day. ❤️❤️
I've read it, it's very long, but well organized, very good read
It’s a thing of trust which still needs to be addressed…
Dr Centrone is my doctor! Amazing doctor!
I have that book, I'm not finished reading the book.
I think the question was Genuine coming from HIM.
But keep in mind it's a question coming from a people who always felt they didn't HAVE to understand anybody else in the world. The world is all about THEM, so why care about anybody else? This is like a brother or sister in your immediate family who is always the favorite or the Golden child. They will receive all sorts of privileges and favors, but notice how they NEVER speak up for how the one who ISN'T the favorite is being treated. They have no concern. They only have concern when THEY are not treated the way are used to be treated and thereby perceive their FAIR treatment as unfair. I've seen this over and over.
JUST as now when we are trying to make things fair and equal, they think they are being discriminated against and CAN'T understand the issues of POC. They dont really care, because they never HAD to care.
❤❤❤❤
Let's start with the fact that his question is disingenuous! That's very disconcerting and disappointing! However, it's not surprising because we've walked this road before.
Secondly, Jessica Pettway, a CZcams influencer, recently passed in part due to medical apartheid; and there was also a CZcams video showing a Bl🖤ck child who was being treated for some kind of ear injury by a yt doctor without numbing agents. The poor child kept saying, it hurts bad but the doctor ignored him and continued the treatment without once acknowledging the child's pain. The Mom finally had to ask the doctor to stop and use a numbing agent to numb the area before he continued.
Third, at one time or another a BP, I and my family members included, have been subjected to medical apartheid.
Moreover, some BP do so as a form of protection and evidentiary proof in the same way that we instinctively turn on our video recorders during traffic stops by LEO and interactions with yt folks!
If he has a problem with that then he's part of the problem.
What goes aroung comes around
He could have asked a black colleague. Your black friends will help you be better.
The red beard😂😂😂😂😂 thats some god shit.
It all makes me wanna throw up
Did any white, male doctors respond to correct his behavior?
Lawyer and judges swore and oath to the BAR association to practice law.. you wonder why there is no true justice in the country… doctors and nurses swore and oath to treat not heal. Medical practice! What’s worse is that the treatment you get is based off the insurance you have…you have to be careful of the contracts you signed with them via law enforcement, medical exams, etc…the system keeps a file on everything you do and sign. If you have medical insurance take time out and read the contract.. remember we speak English but the contracts are written in a Legalese. So get a Black’s law dictionary and interpret what it is saying… yes there is medical racism going on in the medical field, American history proves that. Smallpox in the blankets of the indigenous peoples of America along with medical practices on black peoples with science without telling them..
1 thing blackk ppl missing. Tuskegee experiment. Tuskegee. 100% indian. natvie american word.
😮….. I’m just caught it thanks
Thanks for bringing this up. Deserves more likes.

Doctor, can't speak for ALL bp.
What the problem why are you on the phone ?
Apology apology bunch of losers

We know what he looks like so stay away!
Biased Question
Thank you @askdrmom
FAMILY....I THINK ANY TIME YOU ARE WITH THEM FOLKS , YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE ON THE PHONE OR RECORDING IT , WE ALL SHOULD BE DOING THIS FOR OUR SAFETY . NONE CAN BE TRUSTED. ITS LIKE HAVING A PIT FILLED WITH SNAKES , SOME POISONOUS AND SOME NOT.....THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH IS WHICH SO JUST ASSUME. THEY ALL ARE.....THATS HOW WE HAVE TO MOVE WITH THESE CAVE FOLKS.
