I must say…this one was a little rough for me. As a physician that identifies as a Black woman with an “invisible” disability it hit too close to home.

How can WE determine how someone’s “dis”ability will affect their performance in any given field.
Technology has advanced so just about anyone can do anything. I was passed over for many opportunities in the military because of my disability when there was a reasonable alternative available.

How often does this happen in medicine?
I think it’s pretty often. We have to do better for our trainees as well as attendings. We have to get rid of ALL of the -isms in medicine.

Let me know…what are your biases? How would you evaluate these two trainees?

My rant for the day ;

Yesterday I went to get a glass of wine and something to eat after work. There was a table of people that asked me to join them and offered to pay. I declined because I really wasn’t in the mood and I knew I wouldn’t be good company /1
They kept asking and said come on over and have fun with us. I said I’m really not in the mood and I wouldn’t be good company.

One young lady looked at me and saw my scrub bottoms (I had on a Coming to America t-shirt) /2
She told the group: leave her alone she doesn’t have time to deal with us.

Woman: I know you’re tired. As a healthcare worker you are truly a hero right now…just as much as our soldiers /3
