Doctors with black patients need to think twice before indulging in humor, as a Tennessee doctor recently learned:
A Mid-South woman has filed a complaint with the Tennessee Department of Health after she said the doctor she went to see for back pain gave her an insulting diagnosis.
He said I know what the problem is. Its ghetto booty, said 55-year-old Terry Ragland about what she was told by Dr. Timothy Sweo in April.
I think I blacked out after he said ghetto booty. I think my mind was just stuck on the phrase because I couldnt believe he said that, said Ragland.

Steatopygia (/stiːˌætɵˈpɪdʒiə/;[1] Greek: στεατοπυγία) is a high degree of fat accumulation in and around the buttocks. The deposit of fat is not confined to the gluteal regions, but extends to the outside and front of the thighs, forming a thick layer reaching sometimes to the knee.
Steatopygia is a genetic characteristic of the Khoisan and the Bantu peoples.
As the line between satire and non fiction becomes even more blurred.......it’s a literary warp zone.
The Egyptians describe these people in their ancient hieroglyphics and apparently the condition was even more severe in ancient times.
I've read that the migration of the Bantu (Black) people into South Africa resulted in mixing of races (Bantu & Khoisan, etc) and the condition has been diluted. There are no longer any pure blooded Khoisan people any more.
The facial features of Nelson Mandela resemble Khoisan people, but Khoisans were not Black.

Wonder how she would have taken it if the doc told her she had acute angina?
Dat no ghetto booty, dat be a bean bag booty........
Bump.
Does this lawsuit make my butt look big?
he was probably joking.
He should have told her that, thanks to her diet high in lipids and simple carbohydrates, her metabolic syndrome caused her body to store lipids in the area of her sacrum and pelvis: as a result, her gluteus maximus was excessively large, causing an increase in her lumbar lordosis, which puts pressure on her L4-5 vertebral disc and the paraspinalis muscles of her spine
that would have impressed her with the professionalism of her physician.
But the slang he used was inaccurate: I have a similar problem, thanks to my pear shaped German ancestors, so it is not limited to certain ethnic groups.
He should have said: “Your caliphygian buttocks and a misaligned lordoric curve are the source of your problem”
