As heart attacks, menstrual problems continue to surge, Indians have blamed gyming, unhealthy food, lack of sleep, cigarettes, stress, and alcohol for these issues. But one curious suspect has been conveniently vindicated. To know the real cause, follow me to the next tweet.
How should we establish the cause-effect relationship? We know that heart attacks and menstrual problems have risen significantly in the last 7-8 months. Have cigarettes, stress, unhealthy food been around only for 7-8 months? No. But something else is a more recent arrival.
It is what was injected into your deltoid (shoulder) muscle that is the real culprit. Don't believe me? No problem. I don't expect you to trust me at all. On the contrary, I want to encourage you to think and do your own research. So let me request you to find some answers.
@JSG_54 @brrendaaac You were wrong yesterday. Now you’re wrong and tedious. People of Color means nothing more than anyone not categorized as white. It doesn’t matter that you were told this by someone not white. People who are not white can also be wrong. Whiteness isn’t a biological category.
@JSG_54 @brrendaaac Therefore not being white doesn’t make you any more likely to have hypertension or respond to medications for hypertension any differently cuz whiteness isn’t a thing so not being white isn’t a risk for anything except being a victim of medical racism. Read a book already.
@JSG_54 @brrendaaac 75% of opioid overdoses in the U.S. occur in white people. But if I said that there was a therefore biological correlation between being white & becoming addicted to heroin & fentanyl, you’d appropriately be asking to speak to my manager because that would be dumb #MedicalRacism
Good morning. Still in pain though I slept better last night by doubling all my OTC meds before bed. My partner wants me to go to the doctor & I just laughed because what doctor is going to give a black woman a prescription for pain meds in this opioid crisis era?
If I sought medical help right now it would be from an urgent care clinic. I can’t even get an appointment with my primary care person for 6 weeks. This is with pretty good insurance from a research one university that has a whole hospital/medical system associated with it.
I know how doctors see me when I talk about my chronic pain. Why bother? #MedicalRacism #ChronicPain
