- GynecologyAs years went on and I stepped into the medical field, I found that many of these biases followed me. An assumption as a black medical provider is that I knew less than my white counterparts. This has manifested by surprise that I knew what I was talking about or blanket disdain while I was speaking.

This is a malignant outgrowth of falsehood that black people are less than human, inferior, etc. when compared to white people. Dr. J.
