5 Massage therapists

4 Physical therapists

2 Primary care physicians

1 Neurologist (+ 1 NCS/EMG Technician) &

1 Rheumatologist

I am not a Christmas Carol.

After 9 years I get the opportunity to see 2 Black doctors (1 Chiropractor & 1 Naturopath). They were the most thorough in their questions & the most low-key in their explanations. The results of the tests they order make the oldest, worst, most debilitating ailment make sense.

That’s 17 White medical professionals. Then I finally get Black doctors & all I can do is shake my head.

If I wasn’t determined before, my resolve is now unshakable; I will never add another non-Black decision-making doctor to my core team again.

Never. Ever. Again.
