“I love the podcast, I really do, and it has helped me so much with certain areas. However I find it so frustrating ( although I am so happy for you ) it’s awful when dr.’s treat certain people so differently. You are blonde, beautiful, intelligent, wealthy… so of course you get the best help there is- even if it takes a second opinion. Dr.’s in my area and from my experience completely ignore and hate to treat Hispanics, African Americans, etc. they hate to treat if your overweight… all they say is loose weight, you’ll feel better. The minority population is so understated. My sister age 31 died in her sleep. She had been to countless dr.’s for help with insomnia and possible sleep apnea , no one took her seriously because she was Mexican and overweight. The medical system failed her. She tried so hard , but was so discouraged after each visit because these professionals treated her so poorly. They had no idea she was an attorney, and my sister was so humble she never mentioned it. She was very humble- and it killed her because she didn’t show up in designer clothes, skinny, blonde. I truly have lost all faith in the American medical system. It’s not fair you got so many tests… she advocated , begged and got nothing. And DIED! it’s not fair. I’ll never understand it. That girl begged her Dr.’s and all they ever said is “you will feel better once you Loose weight, bye”. Truly disturbing”
