Well human doctors have a history of coming into the appointment, ignoring all the things I written and the nurse/assistant wrote, ask me to repeat everything, then cut me off every sentence to give me a answer.
Many are also old boomer doctors who were taught black people have higher pain tolerance, and other inaccuracies about non-caucasians. I have some friends who did drug tests before a casual visit because they "fit a profile".
I'm a second year medical student, and those boomer doctors are what I will avoid being at any cost. I currently spend a fair amount of time and effort challenging some of my professors and classmates on their attitudes and assumptions regarding health needs and healthcare discrepancies for racial minorities, low SES patients, and LGBTQ+ patients.
