Little thread: I had a patient today who was a little elderly black woman. She was telling me that she really didn’t want to go to the hospital because her hair wasn’t done and she notices that yt doctors and nurse treat her differently when her hair is done vs. when it isn’t.
She was saying she feels like “she’s not taken seriously and treated like a crazy person” when her hair is all over the place. So I flat twisted her hair into a cute little style for her in the back of the ambulance while we were otw to the hospital.
@colbiechristian There's a parking lot I cut through on my way home with groceries, a little old black lady asked me if the security guard ever harassed me. I didn't know there was one. I keep an eye out now and linger out of sight until other people are through. I'm going to catch that guy. 🐺
@colbiechristian I’m crying. I’m so happy she could trust you @colbiechristian with that information and that she brought it up and that you were able to help her. Patient trust is so important. Happy #NationalFirstRespondersDay ✨
@colbiechristian Bless you're heart
@colbiechristian You are an Angel here on Earth. Thank you for your kindness. I pray that your kindness will be epidemic and it will catch on wildly for others to exhibit such kindness, humanity and compassion.
