That ain’t about racism. It’s about having a patient trying to tell you how to do your job. CT scans ain’t first on the list

If doctors are not listening to sarina, its because of her B.O.

"...may be time for black women to "get feisty,"

Based on my experience with my black friends, they have always been "feisty".

So my conclusion is that this nitwit wants them to get guns and knives and start killing whites...

Imagine Serena you were a patient in the perfect world of Bernie Sanders socialized medicine. No CT scan for you according to government bean counters and if by pulling political strings you got a CT scan authorized, expect to wait mpnths. No with you money you would be treated in a private clinic in Zurich while your Black sisters would be waiting in line for care at a cheesy government clinic

As previously detailed, Williams, who has a history of blood clots,


A woman I used to work with nearly died from blood-clot complications after she gave birth. As it was, she had to have a heart transplant eight or so years later. She didn’t realize that she had a family history of the problem—an aunt had a leg amputated after child birth. I’m surprised that Serena William’s doctor wasn’t more on top of this.

Lady, I took my white male husband to the emergency room the second time in 12 hours.

They did an ultrasound and did not find anything. I asked if they could do a CAT. They told me no, that it was just a belly ache. This was while he was shaking so badly you could hear his gurney rattling in the hall.

Medical personal do not like to be told what to do.

But if you insist they will usually give in.

Which they did.

Oh, that belly ache?

Appendicitis. Which burst as they were bagging it.

It was not your color but that they do not like to be questioned. Sometimes you have to push.

After not having slept in 36 hours and seeing my husband in such pain I was in the mood to push.

The nurses, however, dismissed her initial CT scan request and performed an ultrasound instead.


Seems to make sense to try ultrasound first, then progress to CT scan. The CT scan is not without risks.

CT Risk to Children

Just because Serena knows tennis doesn't mean she know medicine, or fashion.

through the years both Serena and Venus have pretty much stayed away from politics and only a little racism. (Its called endorsements, advertising etc). Just recently I have noticed Serena has gotten far more vocal, hanging with Michelle Obama, Beyoncé,I suspect her retirement is close and she can finally start using her race card.

Is she as sexy as that fashion model Michelle O?

Yes, she is exactly as sexy as that fashion model Michelle O.

What a crock. I know LOTS of people of all races who have to fight their doctors and insurance companies to get the correct diagnostic and treatment work done. It’s happened to me recently — nobody is going to be as big an advocate for your health as you are. It’s that simple.

In the era of medical websites, many patients (rightly or wrongly) have preconceived notions of what is wrong with them.

If she thinks doctors listen to white women, she is dreaming.

If a doctor screws up a diagnosis for a white guy, well, doctors are people and people screw up. If he screws it up for a black woman, it is racism.

These people are their own worst enemy. Rather than actually trying to understand anything, they just reflexively cite racism for everything, from rain to nearsightedness.

You’d be surprised at what goes on in hospitals. Not a lot of it good I can tell you.

White doctors? Lady, what are you talking about? I’ve worked in a number of hospitals and I’m working in one now. White doctors are as rare as a blue moon and even if they won’t what you’re putting out is racist bs.
