When I was pregnant my husband was in the military at the time. I saw this because he was deployed at the time and couldn’t go to appointments with me. I had hyperemesis but it took me going to the hospital three times for them to finally admit me to the hospital. By that time I was coughing up blood from vomiting so much. Two of my organs were in failure as well. When I got there I had a BLACK female doctor ask me how many kids I had and if they were by the same man. I than had another doctor come in the next day and ask me other non medical questions I didn’t think they would ask ppl who weren’t of color. That was the first experience I had with racial bias in medicine. I changed my major because I never want anyone to feel like I did especially during a time they should be at their happiest. I’m on a PA pathway but your video was inspiring. I love to see woman of color in medicine.
I’m so sorry to hear you experienced that..in this present day! Things needs to change and I strongly believe that we can be that change we want to see! All the best to you on your path!❤️
Thank you for this video. I’m only in high school, but I know I want to do something in the field of anesthesia when I’m older. I love to see someone who looks like me who I can look up too. You are an inspiration. “I know who I am and whose I am” is definitely something to remember.
Happy Juneteenth!!! This is such a great video. We definitely need more diversity in medicine and black physicians to help combat the health disparities in poorer communities. I am proud to say I will be one of them ✊🏿
Huge fan! As a chronic pain patient it deeply saddens me that some drs may think black people dont feel pain as much meaning they might not get as good or even treated at all as me.
Thank you for exposing Dr. Sims. This is rarely talked about in my opinion, the very foundation of OB/GYN as we know it today was torture. This is improtant to me as a female even though I a not black. And of course it disturbs me that he tortured black and African American women like this. I don’t trust OBGYN at all though because of this history. I stopped going for paps after I found out about Dr. Sims
Information is empowering. Don’t forgo medical preventative care though even if you’re young..Find someone who you can trust..and who answers your questions! All the best to you! ❤️
I BEEN SICK SINCE 2011 AFTER CONTRACTING LYME DISEASE I NEED A BLACK DOCTORS IN UPLAND CA, MONTCLAIR, CA RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA OR ONTARIO, CA I NEVER HAD A GOOD DOCTOR, I WANT A BLACK DOCTOR FOR ONCE, PLEASE HELP!
So sorry to hear that! Lyme disease is very difficult to treat, please look for doctors in your area who are great rheumatologists neurologists or infectious disease specialists. Unfortunately I am not associated with anyone in those fields in CA. I wish you the best and hope you can find an effective treatment for you.
I'm starting a podcast which will talk about disability related issues, me being someone who has brittle bone disease. Would you consider being a guest once I get my podcast up and running, I would love to talk with a dr, and anesthesiologist as me being someone with chronic pain and someone who has had dozens of surgeries thanks for reading and if your willing to be a guest let me know thanks! Love ya channel
"I know who I am and whose I am." I will have to remember that one.
When you said "because I know who I am and WHOSE I am", I literally paused the video for a praise break!
🙌🏾💃🏽
I’m so glad this being spoken about so openly and recognized. I never thought I would see it.
