Medical Apartheid

4/5 – The way black Americans have been mistreated for the past 300 years is almost laughable. This book was no different as I did chuckle at the unfathomable atrocities inflicted upon us. You literally must laugh to keep from crying. I have a deeper understanding as to why our people are so against medical care. There is so much generational trauma we need to heal from to get to a better place, but I feel the damage is done. We are/were used as guinea pigs to test surgeries and medications, but once it has been perfected, we are excluded and not able to reap the benefits. However, I wish the author would've expanded on certain subjects, such as BMI, and kidney metrics as I have recently learned the ideologies behind those are racist. There was more that could've been included in the book, but what the author gave was enough to make me question everything going forward.
