Shouldn't've Had To Speak Twice

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!

In this episode, we dive into doctor's appointments and hospital visits. Does your doctor see you or your race? Does your doctor see you or your weight? Does your doctor see you or your age? Some doctors have bedside manners while others ticket for the filling of pockets so they say anything. Physician biases shouldn't be in patient rooms because then diagnoses gets missed. Patients aren't seen back till it's nothing left but a wing and a prayer. Advocate for yourself when you go to your doctor and don't stop. You know your own body. Let them see the symptoms and not the race, gender, weight, or age. You shouldn't have to speak twice to save your own life!
