Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine
by Uché Blackstock
What a powerful read exploring the systemic racism and deep inequalities that are pervasive within the medical system - both from the perspective of the patient and of the medical practitioner.
This was a powerful story that transcends generations. Told from the mouth young, black, female practitioner, Uche draws similarities between her experiences and those that her mother (another medical professional faced). Despite crossing decades, it’s important and impactful to hear that not as much has changed as one might hoped.
This is a good read for anyone who is looking to be further educated as an ally, and come face to face with a reality that faces many black Americans in regard to receiving, accessing and/or delivering medical care.
