What Do You Wish Medical Professionals, Especially White Ones, Heard About?
i read so many stories of how black women, especially, have their symptoms ignored or dismissed that i go through her chart an extra time just to see what has been missed. Doctors often come in with, i want to say, common sense racism. I wish they understood that they cannot take the cooki cutter model of what they have learned in medical school and apply it to all populations. If you're going to work with people, you need to be willing to meet people where they are. That means really finding out about their genetics, about their history, about their parents, about their children.
