[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious...how many times did you meet them before they found out you were a doctor? I'd think the "what do you do" conversation would have happened fairly quickly.[/quote] OP here. The funny thing is that I told them pretty early on, but they must have thought I was lying or confused. It didn't sink in with them that I really am a doctor until a few months in when DH's mother introduced me as a medical assistant and I corrected her (I am a dermatologist). How she managed to think I am a medical assistant I will never know, but she's actually not the only white person I have met who has mentally "corrected" me into a lower paying job. It seems that people see a black female and somehow "dermatologist" does not compute.[/quote]
