Hang in there, girl, hang in there; you don't know how many women are inspired to pursue medicine. Follow your dream.

Micro aggressions within medicine are real. For example, I have seen where women of color in power positions within medicine are perceived to be someone “outside” of their position. A black female doctor walks in the room in scrubs and is automatically labeled as “the nurse.” A black female administrator (often a doctor herself) walks into the room and is regarded as “the secretary.” I have immense respect for nurses and secretaries (they truly run a large part of show behind the scenes and everyone in medicine knows that). Nonetheless, it is a micro aggression. There is an unwritten (honestly ridiculous) hierarchy within medicine that both patients and medical professionals are aware of. Thus, to know that these same individuals often opt to perceive black women as being someone of a lesser position within this hierarchy-without second thought- is just sad. Stay strong, and keep your head up sis! Assert yourself, and let your presence and demeanor command the respect you deserve.

Is that something common among all women doctors?

I am so glad you have shared your journey throughout the years. Although mine has not been straight, I am still moving toward my dream of being a physician and your videos have been a major inspiration. I’m glad you don’t allow the limitations of human beings to prevent you from moving in your God given abilities girl!!! ❤️

I’ve worked in residency education almost a decade. What residents go through is hard to see. Keep moving forward.

Hay Precious, thanks for posting on-top of the full schedule you have. I’m sorry you’ve experienced Macro/Micro-aggressions. I just wanted to encourage you to keep going Sis (is it really four months left?!! Wow time flies!!!) Some days are easier than others to rebound from those experiences. You however are an inspiration and I pray for your strength, resilience and continued success because I know you’re forecast to do amazing things. Enjoy Jamaica!! If you can, try a rafting tour on the Martha Brae. Have an ease full trip❣️

I have been following you for a while and am so happy for you. 4 more months to go. Hang in there, you got this.

Welcome back. Keep on killing those goals! You’re doing an amazing job in your career. Can’t wait to see your Jamaica vlog!

Happy New Year! I respect, appreciate and admire the fact that you continue to push forward through the ignorance and hard times. I prefer to see doctors who look like me. Please Vlog the 🇯🇲 trip. Have a good week🖤

You are Precious! Keep being precious and just know that none can take away your blessings.

Welcome back, Precious! I know Jamaica is well earned & deserved. Hope you have great trip!

Residency has absolutely been challenging! In so many ways even this one sadly. ICU was a like my best learning experience and EM was challenging for me. I can’t wait for my clinic days. I wore a CGM once too at work! I’m so happy for you being almost done. I’m a little over a year away from FM boards then GRADUATION!

I loved how calmly you shared your story about the micro aggressions. Most conversations like this that I witness usually leave me cringing and overwhelmed by the perception that I'm that problem (just for being white and no other reason and I'm not even involved in the offense). I feel like we could actually have a productive conversation about this very important subject with the way you presented it. I hate that you experienced that and I just believe in treating all people kindly. Judge people by their character and not their appearances and obviously you're right, "It's not you, it's them."

When I saw you tap your arm, I knew you had a libre on! I feel like I might have to try using one of these days, so my libre counselling can get better

Being a educated black woman in tbe medical profession is a stigma anyways. Perhaps its the location? Look forward to moving to a city with more black professionals and patients.The finish line is very near. U got this!

Ooooh, Chicken stock in the grits! I gotta try that!!

OMG, a 110 "spike" As someone who worked in Endocrinology, and taught Freestyle Libre CGMs, that's funny to me! Nutrisense CGMs are very expensive. There is a company called Supersapiens that is only selling CGMS in Europe. Some of our US athletes are able to get them. I'm hoping the prices eventually become more affordable when more companies move into the US market. Good luck... the next four months will fly by. Sorry to hear about your experience. Being in FL can't help. You are *STRONG* !!!

Yeah CGMs would be so beneficial to patients with diabetes. I’m not sure if insurance covers it, but affordable options are definitely needed.

Most insurance companies cover or greatly decrease the cost with a diabetes diagnosis. Providers are pushing to have them covered with a prediabetes diagnosis. An attempt to increase patients' awareness before developing full blown diabetes.

I have a question: If you don't mind answering. As a doctor, medical conditions and new medications are constantly evolving and being introduced. Do you have to do annual training for these reasons? Does your employer pay you to have those training courses done every year? I always wondered about this.

@tailorforeman7082

Жыл бұрын

Good question. Doctors have credits they have to get every year called continued medical education credits which is like refresher courses kinda. Also most specialists have to recertify through a standardized exam every 10 or so years. Outside of that it is the doctors job to stay abreast on innovations. Except in residency where I believe most programs require residents to participate in conferences. Also for medications, that’s why pharmaceutical reps exist. They go around convincing doctors to prescribe their medications and inform them of the benefits (and a lot of other things). I’m a medical student so any residents/attendings please chime in if I missed something.

Are these micro/macro aggressions from coworkers and other medical staff or the patients? I’m guessing both but I’m wondering where you see it more.

They are from both. Slightly more from patients.
