Send us a text with a question or thought on this episode ( We cannot replay from this link)Kimether Redmon joins us to share the importance of knowing the history of medical practices and its roots of racism. She walks us through the history of medical research and treatment when it comes to being a person of color and a woman. She gives detailed accounts of ways people of color were often used for research and how most research done for betterment of the human was done with upper- middle class people. This all lends itself to Kimether's story of:- pain that was ignored or mismanaged based off of racial bias from practitioners-then ultimately her journey through infertility which led to a diagnosis of Endo followed by poor treatment and being misinformed.- Which only made her symptoms worse. She then addressed current challenges that people of color and marginalized people face as it pertains to our healthcare system and receiving proper, and equal, care. Better care for all is what drives Kimether in her career as a Nurse Practitioner in a safety net clinic.  This is was only a portion of all the wisdom Kimether shared.
