That's why I made sure to have a old black doctor.
Huh 🤔. how do they get on shows and stumble on basic questions? Do they not challenge themselves before getting on Live broadcasts?
DUUUUUHHHH! ! !
I will state this fact about medical history. African enslaved women, in America, were experimented on and a lot of the “findings” from that torture are the basis of medical procedures of today. In particular, the speculum, was created from experimentation on enslaved, African women. There is a long held belief black women can endure more pain than other women of different ethnic origins. There have been cases where black women have complained of excruciating pain and were ignored by medical staff, & they later died as a result of what was going on in their body.
She is full of shit
These trolls are running out of things to lie about
She doesn’t have any type of statistics to back up what she’s saying. Just her opinion!
BS …………. Always the Victim…………
My daughter also had pre-eclampsia and delivered her child at 34 weeks. She is white and was showing signs of the disease long before she had to be hospitalized and induced but her doctors wouldn't listen to her or address the symptoms. I believe it is a income based bias not a race issue.
I can attest to this I took my girl to the hospital after she had a stroke and they told me nothing was wrong with her they truthfully don’t care
Can we clarify if this is private healthcare or government healthcare? If it’s government, you are not special, just ask the veterans. You get what you pay for and if you are on free healthcare it’s just that – free.
Its about money not race. People have to be mindful about their healthcare.
Where do they find these people who are unable to articulate themselves?
Black women are not listened to when we say something is wrong. If we say we are in pain, we are being too dramatic. If we say there has been an emotional and mental shift in our personality since starting a medication, we are told that we are overreacting. Doctors typically don't take our concerns as seriously as they would if we were of a different race. I don't know why that is, but that is a proven fact.
How pathetic victim mentality runs deep with the black people
Stop it this is race baiting stand on your own two feet
You wonder why first of all they have a fucking bad attitude Talk to you rude Think they know everything and don't know shit yeah you wonder why😊
She’s right I almost died of childbirth in 1982 and I was spared by the Grace of God- lost 7 pints of blood and 2 pints of plasma and had to stay in the hospital 1 extra week I was one of the lucky ones being that technology was not what it is today- preeclampsia is what I had and this is a subject that needs to be of importance amongst the white doctors and nurses- training on this condition should have been mandated for every hospital across the country
This is a class issue, not a race issue. And this is experienced around the world. More money, better healthcare
True
Man this bullshit
That’s why I took my ass to a black doctor is very simple if you stick with your own kind when you find a black OB/GYN that’s compassionate and caring you found gold
I think its a class/money issue tbh. I was young (19) and extremely poor when I was pregnant. I remember being terrified of having a natural birth and asked for a c section. They flat out told me no and it was my fault for getting pregnant if I couldn't push it out. Luckily, got another opinion and she said my pelvis was too narrow and ok'd the c section. Said if I had gone the natural route I would've faced major complications or lost my son. He's almost 18 and hes my world.
It's extremely difficult to explain our situation to white Americans. Unfortunately they have to see it for themselves and tragically it takes a while for them to see the disparities in treatment. The struggle continues. B1. The doctor truly matter
It's true. I have a sister that went through this
Serious fact
Totally disagree w/this, it might be her truth. I'm a black male ER-RN/ EMS/Paramedic, Wife NP, & we have 3 sons. I feel as a human we all have our biases & stereotype
Nobody wants to deal with the demanding, petty, triffling, know-it-all loud mouth type of women.
I think smh
We Black people always feel stereotyped against in everything.
This is facts! I know more than 3 black women who have mentioned this to me
Lol why do y’all let woman like this speak on y’all podcast it paints a goofy image of the race. She’s definitely a democrat 😂😂
IM A BLACK WOMAN AND NO THEY DONT IVE BEEN TREATED VERY WELL EVERYTHING IVE BEEN TO THE DRS. BLACK OR WHITE DRS! THIS IS BS SHES NOT SPEAKING FOR US TRUST ME
Well from my experience being misdiagnosed, due to not given simple xray.
Another incident not being diagnosed the first visit, but made me come back with same symptoms, 2 days later.
My Dads broken hip, sent home.
If Serena Williams didn't demand chest x-ray, she would've died.
A old ass nurse told me she wouldn't take care of Black people.
It happens to White people, but more often to people of color, like everything else.
Race mixing
LEARN IT
He knows this ..blk women are more likelynto die due to the fact that theyre not believed when they're in pain..
BLAH blah blah.
