I'm A Black Doctor. I Got Death Threats For Speaking About Racism -- And It Gets Worse.

6. This former nurse/ret black psychiatrist says thank

You. When I was a nurse and walked into white patient's rooms, even after identifying myself as their nurse, they still thought I was fr dietary/housekeeping, or the number of times I had to advocate for my black patients to get adequate pain management. It got to the point that whenever I was new to a healthcare provider, I never let them know, at first meeting, that I was nurse/doc, just to see how they treated me. Racism is pervasive/endemic in America, and at 70, hubby, and I will not live to see it get to the point that we will ever return. Enjoying life as expat, and very happy to see more and more young, black, professionals joining us. Stay safe
An aside, hubby was partner in prestigious law firm, and the stories he could tell about the racism he experienced, are equal to mine.
