Most doctors took the oath as a tick mark.
Most I’ve been to have been unempathic, shallow and culturally uneducated. Given 🇺🇸 has a wonderful mix of ethnicities, one would imagine doctors to be a little curious at the very least. They talk down to patients, patronize them, rush them out the door. Assumption is that we know nothing about the human body. Dr. Google is at our fingertips!
A brown Muslim woman? Yes doctor, I fell out of a tree.
