It’s not as easy as early detection
Amongst all the things listed
We have to talk about the American Healthcare Culture
Many diseases go undetected for so long
People will argue, fuss and fight with doctors but some of these dikkheads don’t listen until it’s too late
I had to fight a multitude of doctors just to get a fukking colonoscopy
It’s like they take offense to you telling them something is wrong with your body
That’s where the mistrust with the public comes in, especially black people as a whole
It’s been well documented about racism in healthcare
And don’t just say get a black doctor
Unfortunately they can be just as uncaring and that truly hurts to say
So that leaves you very vulnerable and damed if you do/dont
Let’s not even start with insurance companies
Some flat out deny claims or have teams of people to circumvent helping their customers
Sit back and think about that for a minute
Muthafukkas have TEAMS TO DENY PRUDENT SERVICES PEOPLE NEED
ESPECIALLY WITH CANCER TREATMENTS
Add copays/deductibles and it’s a whole shyt show that can literally leave you broken physically/emotionally/financially
People are very shortsighted just like this article
If you haven’t BEEN THROUGH IT
Or SEEN IT UP CLOSE
Then just saying
Better diets need to be met, Blah, Blah, blah
Everything that happens to us is designed by a machine to keep us right where we are at
From the exorbitant prices for medication that may/may not help but only masks deeper illnesses
To Doctors with God Complexes
To Pinky and The Brain Insurance Scams
These discussions need to address the systemic nature of the whole healthcare industry
That’s the real culprit in all of this
And this shouldn’t need explaining but a lot of you nikkas have the comprehension of an amoeba or just like to stir up shyt for attention
There are many in healthcare that are compassionate and caring
Married to one
But the bad that outweighs the good
If you only knew
