The doctor that did my heart surgery was from India. The anesthesiologist was a white woman. I selected him because he was the best in that teaching hospital and head of cardiac surgery and a professor.
My dentist is Vietnamese. My regular doctor is a woman. When I had electro cardioversion my doc was a lovely lady from Mexico. My orthopedic surgeon was a white boy. The instructor that taught me to fly multi engine aircraft was a white lady. Southwest Airlines valued her skill and she became a senior training captain. All were selected by my estimation of their expertise.
I tire greatly of this insane political correctness. I look for skill and expertise, I do not look at color or sex.
“”I look for skill and expertise, I do not look at color or sex.””
I imagine that would be true for the majority of us. I don’t know what would change our life long habits to make us think otherwise. I think it would be the last thing on our minds when we need or are referred to a specialist of whatever kind.. See what THEY have done to us? Or at least try to do to us daily?
In the heart procedures I had done, I took whoever the hospital assigned to my case. Never thought about checking credentials and choosing excellence. I just assumed that if they were working there, they were qualified.
