In this episode, we draw extreme correlations between history and modern day social issues involving patient care provided to POC . I’m starting to think when we say  "Buy the whole block” or” We need more black doctors,” people think it’s infeasible. If Dr. Crumpler provided medical care to our ancestors during slavery, why can’t we do it for each other today? 2019 is another year of socio-economic disparities for African-Americans, but we have people in the 1800’s who fought for education and rose to success, sometimes we need to see someone else’s struggle and plight to get inspired, which is okay, that’s why I’m here. There’s probably a black kid today that feels inferior due to their environmental circumstances and may feel reluctant to go to medical school, and I say to you think about Rebecca L. Crumpler and how she fought racism to administer help to her people. 

**Sidenote I could not resist the urge to say pill throughout this episode or something but I meant "IMPLANT" lol, enjoy the show :)
