  1. Some doctors are implanting microchips in Targeted Individuals without consent, and there are people in hospitals who are hooking up TIs to some type of wireless telemetry systems. Be careful. If doctors are behind you, use a mirror to see what they are doing.

  2. THEY DO IT TO ALL DIFFERENT MANORITIES GROUPS ESPECIALLY THE BLACKS PEOPLE, THE LAST TIME THE NURSE ASKED MY NAME WHEN I SPELLED TO HER SHE SAID OH I DON'T DEAL WITH THIS STUFF!!! MY NAME BECAME STUFF!!!!

    HOW THE METIS OF QUEBEC TREATS THE ABORIGINALS THEY YELL AT THEM THEY MISTREATING THEM ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!! THEY LIVE IN DENIALS BECAUSE WIHTOUT THE ABORIGINALS THOS METIS WON'T EXIST

    THE ABORIGINALS ARE THEIR INSCENSTORS, BUT NO THEY THINK THEY ARE THE CAUCASIONS OF THE CAUCASIONS!!!!

  3. I had a serious violation after jnee replacement. A couole if years back. What is the stature of limitatiins and how can I file a complaint and get representation? How do I start before the three year window in April if thats still a policy?

  4. Ummm. You sounded ANNOYED 😠 by the fact that black people are taking steps to work around a biased prejudiced medical field that disregard black people as unworthy or not valuable.
    I don't keep anything as evidence. I'm a nurse. But i will record for the RECORD to be revisited.
    My mom is also a critical care nurse she is hard if hearing.
    She needs another set of ears.
    The medical community DISMISSES black people as less human to other races.
    We HAVE to ADVOCATE for OURSELVES

  5. I appreciate his concern and initiative to want to do something about it. He knows the answers to his questions and wants confirmation. Well here’s mine.

  6. My guess it's simpler. Women go visit doctors much more than men do, so he's probably talking about black women mostly. They love to talk on their phones. And black women don't let anything interrupt a conversation once they get started in one.
    They're not going to talk to anybody in the waiting room. There isn't going to be any magazines in there they want to look at.
    So they get on the phone with a friend. Eases any anxiety. And black women are far less self conscious about assumed social mores or minor etiquette. So they stay on the phone.
    Because, "this conversation got nothing to do with you doctor. You can still do your job while I continue my conversation."

  7. Omg why are black people mad that he has asked this question, it's simply something he observed and wanted to no the answer to. And ide like to know why you are on your phones too, thats cray cray

  8. Black people, when it comes to medications, do your research. Drugs can interact with each other and cause more illness than was originally there.

  9. I’ve been secretly recording all my doctor visits since 2006 so it makes perfect sense to me. I think it should be SOP for everybody. I’m autistic so medical staff always treat me oddly and if I didn’t record it my family wouldn’t even believe the outrageous stuff doctors and nurses say to me

  10. You get mad for a guy asking an honest question.

    Also, a doctor has the right to not treat a person (outside of emergency medicine) if they don’t want to. If I was your Dr. and you copped an attitude like that with me, I’d invite you to find a different practitioner.

    You can’t treat everyone with hostility.

  11. The hospital staff in a Dallas area hospital ignored and didn't properly attend to Eddie Bernice Johnson it is alleged. Ms. Johnson was a Black American woman, who represented Dallas, TX in Congress. Her pleas for relief of pain were ignored and her wounds became infected because she was left to lay in bed in her feces. I believe there has been a lawsuit filed for the substandard care she received. It is alleged the substandard care she received at this hospital was the cause of her death.

  12. Because if you're Smart you'd Find a BLACK Doctor. Do Not Trust Most White doctors!! Dr. Mac Seems Cool but Historically there's that Chance Sm1 that looks like Dr. Mac doesn't like people that Look like Me!!

  13. Yes to all the questions. Went to the doctor showing my injuries but they didn't care of the pain and inability to use my hand, the head injury, the broken teeth from the head injury. Was labeled hypochondriac but then later diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. The health care system is not for blacks to get healthy but to harm us.

  14. I don’t take offense . I feel that he knew the answer. He seemed genuine and sincere. He obviously don’t have any black friends or they would’ve warned him against asking that question .
