I hope he’s okay!
Oh
My
God
This really breaks me.
This is why I want to leave the healthcare field cuz this shit happens way too often.
This is why black people fucking hate, and do everything in their power to avoid, going to the goddamn doctor. This is fucking ridiculous. The healthcare field is the one place you think would be sacred and free of racism/colorism because the ultimate goal is to heal people, but no. So often people of color (especially black people) are not believed when we go to the doctor’s office/hospital and explain the (often severe) pain/ailments that we’re experiencing because the (most often white) medical care “professionals” believe that we’re being over-dramatic for attention, that it’s “all in our head”, or that we just want to be prescribed drugs that we can abuse or sell. The medical field has one job, ONE motherfucking job, and that is make people better, to HEAL people, and they REFUSE to even that part right. It’s a goddamn travesty.
*calms down*
I hope he’s doing well now and is blessed with peace, happiness, a long life, and good health.
