Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine by Uché Blackstock

5.0

---

Sometimes rating a memoir feels a little weird, but i had zero hesitation giving this book five stars. Not only was it a wonderful memoir, but it dove into the systemic issues faced by Black people who wish to enter the medical field professionally, as well as simply lays out the hurdles placed in front of those who need care. It easily illustrates the why behind so many systemic issues in our healthcare system today, while also being a memoir where you’re rooting for Dr. Blackstock to succeed. Incredible all around.
