I could not believe what reading just for a moment then I snapped out of it…. Yep, not surprised. Some people are ignorant to the fact that there are black doctor’s.. YES they are real and not myth.. Even though we are magical like unicorns we (meaning educated black folks) exist.
Dr. Tamika Cross, an OBGYN resident at Harris Health Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital, was on flight DL945 when a doctor was need to help with a man who had become unresponsive during the flight. Dr. Cross notified a flight attendant by raising her hand that she was in fact a doctor after the attendant who asked if there was a doctor on the plane. The attendant said “Oh no, sweetie, put your hand down, we are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, We don’t have time to talk to you.”
SMH…
Dr. Tamika Cross posted about the incident via Facebook which has went viral.
