[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me , my patients trust me more. It probably took me about 6 months into my career before a co-worker was complaining about it. It never occurred to me that those of another race would face difficulty, especially with the elderly population. Now it is something I notice and holy crap it is so prevalent. [/quote] I’m also in medicine. Patients often assume I’m the nurse and not the janitor like they do with my black colleagues. Wish I was exaggerating. [/quote] My OB was an African American woman. Also, I was hospitalized a week or so after my baby was born, and my main nurse was an African American woman. My mom visited me a lot throughout. Both were my fantastic. My Mom, in her 70s, said something about what good care I was getting and something about " I love these black ladies in medicine, I find myself hoping for one every time." I don't really even know what to think about that one. [/quote]
