# 21 must be horrible for black people.

Even as a white guy, because I'm young-ish, I get a lot of shit if I end in the ER for one reason or the other. "Oh, you're injured? Take some fucking tylenol, why would we prescribe you anything even if you're screaming in pain on top for your lungs?"

Any harmless question is met with suspicion. Got a bad case of pneumonia? (some editorializing added for humor purposes):

Doctor - "Here's your motherfucking directions: Mucinex, motherfucker"
Me: "but, it's quite clear I got an infection, you said it yourself, pneumonia..."
Doctor - "oh. Oh. And what would you have me give you? Some painkillers? Huh? Huh? I bet you'd like that ;) "
Me - "No, I was thinking, you know, antibiotics..."
Doctor - "talk to your GP for that. Ok, gotta go, bye!"

^ this really happened to me (somewhat editorialized for humor purposes), The main point is this asshole sort of suggested I was asking for painkillers because, according to him, I must be a druggie (note for clarification: Obviously I'm NOT a druggie, this is why I was so offended). Yeah, because getting pneumonia and coughing fucking green goo thick as spaghetti to the point you even bleed, while having a fever is surely the most efficient and cheapest way to score some drugs, from an E.R., of all places. I was so fucking pissed.

Imagine what a black person has to go through.... as you can tell I have a really bad opinion of health professionals because of some stories like this one that happened to me personally
