- Опубліковано 5 кві 2023
- This is a 2-part series with Dr. Ahmad Price where we discuss implicit bias in healthcare and what we can do about it. I share a bit about what sent my mom to the hospital late last year when she was on life support for over 40 days. Part 1 focuses the discussion on the problem itself and how implicit bias affects the health outcomes for vulnerable populations.

I cried during this entire episode. It was my life being a caregiver for my older sister who was like my second mother. For 9 years we battled systemic racism, insurance bias and implicit bias in the getting proper healthcare for her. I eulogized her in 2019 and now I’m just a caregiver for my 86 year old mother. We are in the midst of this battle now as each month, the impact of aging and disjointed healthcare quality for her accelerates the denigration of her quality of life. I’m running for public office because I want to bring forth policy solutions to this and be in a position to activate my district. I’ve played this episode several times and have cried every time. I’m more driven to action and know that this pathway to advocacy I’m on is the right one.
Yessssss! Thanks so much for bringing light to this truth!
Glad your mother is healing and feeling better. I have been there before myself. In 2014 I started having an issue with my legs it got to a point I couldn't walk. As a Veteran, I went to the VA keep trying to get them to figure out the problem. They did an x-ray and blood nothing showed I asked for an MRI. My doctor looked at me like an MRI cost $5000 why would we spend that on you. This is the VA hospital. I had to go outside the VA for treatment after waiting almost 2 years. I'm better now but not 100. more like 90.. but I'm I'll 100 soon with hard work. I can walk but I want to be able to run and drive again.
ugh!!! your story is all too common and im so sorry to hear that. I pray that you continue on the path to recovery so that you can run and drive again in due time. thank you for sharing this. i cant imagine questioning doing MRIs on ANYONE, let alone a veteran, to get them properly diagnosed would be worth it... smh the way veterans are treated after serving is wildly upsetting...that's a whole other episode.
@@fitmencook Thank you for sharing your mother's story. We need more medical advocates out there. Most people want to be healthy not on medication but are unsure how to get proper help when the speak to their providers.
Thank you all for this episode.
My aging grandparents in Maryland will be better for it 🙏🏽
absolutely. they sure will and thank you for listening/watching!
Thank you so much for this episode. I often ask my husband to come to the doctor with me out of fear of being talked “at” or disregarded. I’m so sorry for what happened to your Mother. May God Bless and protect you and your family.
Oh my goodness. Every detail as heartbreaking as the last. I am so sorry you and your family had to deal with that. This episode had me crying because something similar happened to my Dad 5 years ago. His diagnosis went from stage 3 lymphatic to dead a year later with cancer all over his body. They were certain he had a chance to pull through. It has been extremely hard for me to trust doctors ever since.
im so sorry to hear about your loss - I can imagine watching this was not easy. Appreciate you sharing your story and perspective - it's so important we share this message so others know HOW to advocate for themselves and their loved ones.
This episode resonates with me. My mother was experiencing pain in her throat and breast. She was dismissed and told it was thyroid/ hernia related. I don't remember the exact diagnoses. She kept returning to her Dr. complaining, eventually losing her voice. She visited a Dr. in another state who asked "How long have you had cancer? All that time she had breast cancer. It was never mentioned not once. She relocated to that doctor but he was unable to save her. He said possibly 5 years with treatment and she made just under 5.
I experienced this bias as a Latina pregnant woman. My OBGYN through out my pregnancy called me “high risk” pregnancy and recommend multiple times for me to have blood test done despite previous test being normal, knowing I had a plant based diet and was a marathon runner. If you extend this conversation to the healthcare biases around pregnant women of color the story becomes much more grim and horrifying
oh yeah! the first time I heard about this was with Serena Williams and the mortality rates of women of color in childbirth. the negative outcomes - that's when you start seeing the huge disparities, you're so right
So good! Mr. Kevin is out here doing the Lord's work. Keep being a light!Cannot wait for part 2. Thank you! God bless you and your family!
appreciate you, fam! God bless you and yours as well. :)
❤BUT GOD!!!! Ongoing prayers to your mom and entire family...awesome video and thank you for sharing...
c'mon somebody! Lol but in all honesty - BUT Him, she wouldnt be here today. im thankful that we learned how to advocate for her so that her care could change and we could "get momma home to us!"
Hi I am so sad to hear this I totally missed this . I am still dealing with the death of my momma. It still bothers me how she passed it will be a year in June. Thank you for this I truly wish more people cared and would share more🙌🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
An amazing episode. Thanks so much for such an enlightening conversation.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for listening/watching
This is so scary and heartbreaking. Call out that first hospital! 😠 Makes me so angry - the negligence!!
Man! This hits my heart ❤️ especially for me being caretaker for my mom now and your conversation enlightened me about asking questions etc.. Hope you and family are doing well and can't wait for part two. 👏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
ah, my heart goes out to you, man. you are the primary advocate for her so I hope this conversation (and part 2) will be helpful for you. caretaking is a 24 hr job, much like parenthood lol, so def wishing you well and hope you're staying encouraged, bro.
Im so sorry to hear this 🙏🏿
It was a tough time but I thank God we made it out. Support online was increíble
