I’m starting on the gyn surgery service and I had the opportunity to scrub with a Black female attending. During my 8 weeks on surgery, I only worked with one Black physician and it was the amazing Dr. Elegbede during an overnight shift.
I say that to just emphasize that representation matterssssss!!!! Even for someone like me that’s already in medical school. I grew up not seeing doctors that look like me. I attended med school classes where the professors didn’t look me.
And now I’m seeing first hand the discrepancy of Black physicians in “competitive” specialities. Students are watching this. We still need motivation that hey that dope Black doc did it and so can I.
We lost another doctor today
To COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her...
She called the patient advocate...
She called the chief medical officer...

She was in pain and ignored
Fellow docs got her into another hospital...
It was too late..
She passed away today
The system failed her.
It failed us...
Anyone want to guess the race of this doctor?

I'm pissed cause she didnt have to die like that
Her pain was dismissed
She was discharged WITHOUT being stable and was readmitted to another hospital because she was too scared to go back to the first hospital...
