Dr. refused requests from Blk female patient 25yrs old to test for cancer- now she is 37 w/ stage 4

Sucks she has this experience. But damn cancer at 25?

Not as uncommon as you think

Always go for a second or third opinion. The worst doctor experience I ever had was with an Indian. Worst dentist experience I ever had was Indian too. I always go for a black doctor even if I have to travel a little further.

Exactly fam.

Last dude got a call from his wife while I was in the chair, then put me in a headlock while cleaning my teeth.

The fukk did she say

The crazy shyt is there are certain type of cancer screenings that the insurance companies wont pay for cause they claim it cost sooo much more than other screenings

There literally has to be some extensive write up from the medical professional that has to be submitted explaining why and with some type of bull shyt proof of the screening being needed

Before the insurance company will special approve it

If the doctor has a higher rate of requesting those screening the insurance company could pull out of allowing thay office to be in their network


This is why i laugh at people who put theit full trust in the medical profession and science in general


Both have a greater interest in profit than humanity

Folks blame the docs, it's insurance companies.

THEY decide (yes, people with no medical background) what to cover and how much.

Country is beyond fukked.

Hopefully this story gets amplified by the Black Doctors on Twitter

I saw doctors in Alaska, Georgia, and Washington state. This wasn't just one doctor who missed the signs — it was many. After six years we moved to my hometown of Washington, DC. I began receiving my medical care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and that's where I was finally diagnosed.

I get cysts on my face after eating the majority of foods out there.

I've seen 7+ docs across the board (allergist,General, Dermatologist, etc) over the years.

$4000 later and no one can tell me why it happens


I'll pray for this woman, the "cracks" are fukking canyons at this point.

SMH she deserves better, now I'm heated man.

You have to press the issue with doctors.
They see a lot of people and the reality is you are not going to be a priority.
