I saw a great thread online about a Black physician who saved the day when a patient came in for an urgent MRI, but had metal pins in her wig so none of the white nurses or doctors could get it off. Black Physician rushed in with some alcohol and got it off in no time. We are crucial to the healthcare field for so many reasons, remember that!

Hell yeah we are. I saw this thread on twitter too, I loved it.

I read a similar story recently about a black physician who noticed a patient other staff thought had a tic or neurological problem was, in fact, just trying to scratch under her weave by hitting her head with her palm. The other staff almost had her committed to an institution, all over a simple misunderstanding!

I am so happy you shared this. We really are so important and I think sometimes we forget that! Our differences make us stronger.

Oh wow that's such an interesting story! Do have the link where I can read more about it?

Thank you fo sharing!! It's important to recognise the importance of a diverse workforce and the unique skills we bring in!!
