Healthcare MisTreatment Experience Being a Woman of Color: It Gets REAL When It’s YOU!

You hear about the health disparities and the complaints from women of color all of the time about MisTreatment by their doctors and the lack of care received for women especially.. But it has never happened to YOU! Right? Well that was Me until a few months ago.

It Gets REAL When It’s YOU!… Yep!

So I’m at a family medicine office...

I think it will be fine going there to see a GYN because they offer everything… Right?.. It’s just an annual exam..Right?…. WRONG, WRONG, WRONGGGEDDY, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!

I signed a form and told the nurse … “NO” I do not want a student to touch me. They can observe.

I repeated this to the doctor and student when they walked in.

The doctor was a woman and I explained rough and unfortunate care in regards to my history with PCOS & Endometriosis and how I had multiple large ruptured cysts that caused internal bleeding and another miscarriage, how I had found a way to keep the symptoms at bay, and now have 3 children. However, I had a very chaotic and stress-filled time in life where I did not have a Me to support my needs, so I fell off of my new healing and balancing lifestyle routine. I was there due to some mild symptoms returning so I wanted to get my annual exam and requested for my hormone levels to be checked to see what is going on and what could be out of balance.

I was met with a very harsh abrupt “NO”.

I will NOT order any hormone tests. I DON”T DO ANYTHI NG WITH HORMONES. EVEN IF THERE WAS AN ABNORMALITY I WOULD ONLY OFFER BIRTH CONTROL IF THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TRY…..

Stunned… I just say okay… long pause…. So what is it that you can help me with today?…

She proceeds to tell me about the pelvic exam and “we will order an ultrasound of your abdomen…” No more information she just begins preparing with the student for the examination.

I have my now 3-year-old daughter with me and I tell her “These are the doctors that are going to have to look at mommy and help me”. I instructed her to play the game on her tablet to distract her attention.

As I am reassuring and distracting her, the male student is instructed and behind the exam before I realized what was about to happen.

At that point I did not want to frighten my daughter by the reaction I instinctively wanted to have, as my instructions we completely disregarded.

To make it worse, the exam was quickly over as there was no more to the exam than the pap smear swab….I asked, “is that it?…No tapping or checking or anything? The did not even check my breasts….

I was BEYOND HURT that this was the standard of care that so many women have warned about…. AND I just witnessed it first hand.

They took my time, insurance payment, and right to quality care….

It felt like the largest NEON Sign in life that I have ever received.

So I’m sharing ALL my secrets!

I ask my ancestors to lead and guide me, as well as open door or open my eyes to what is for me and needs to be revealed to me to stay on my clear path of living in my purpose.

They never let me down, and in that moment I felt what I needed to learn.

Deep within my soul the voice became too loud to ignore.

This is why I my mission to help women with a better standard of care is important.

This is why I have to keep going and working hard to become a certified doula for fertility & postpartum.

There is so much that women don’t know about their bodies and so much that is not talked about and kept quiet due to lack of knowledge or embarrassment. Our bodies are on a constant roller coaster of changes throughout our various stages in life and development. We need to know more and our voices need to be heard more.

We should be comfortable with our bodies and know our bodies well. Eating to balance is possible and eating to enhance fertility is possible for everyone. Taking charge of our well-being is so empowering. Knowing how to care for yourself and not having to depend on harmful chemical compounds resulting in side effects is incredibly comforting. This is why it is always asked for me to reach more women and teach more women my secrets to Eat to Balance and Eat for Fertility Health.

The motherhood imbalances & postpartum complication death rates are on the rise for women of color. Life as a woman, and especially life as a mother means constant fluctuation of hormonal changes, like a roller coaster from youth to adulthood and the various phases of adulthood, including adapting to carrying a child and a different level of hormonal balance if you are breast-feeding, your child, in addition to your body regulating after Giving birth and breast-feeding. Menopause has phases as well so the roller coaster ride of hormones does not stop because after menopause you need to balance your hormones to prevent bone loss, irritability, and serious issues. Not to mention a little bit of stubborn weight gain from most women.

The vision for having a collaborative natural wellness center for integrative medicine, birthing, & Better Living is truly NEEDED.

My clinical training in Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot be waisted another moment or put on hold

It is NEEDED for our entire community to thrive.

Helping to heal the mother who is the captain or co-captain of each family, we need to be sure our women and the whole family unit are receiving quality and adequate care for the various stages of life and compatible illnesses or disorders.

Women of color have the Highest rate of having hormonal imbalances like Fibroids, PCOS with Ovarian cysts, Endometriosis, Unexplained Infertility, or Mom-Body Imbalances from having babies. Over 80% are impacted. The most common complaints are that they do not feel heard or like their care provider is not helping them get relief.

To be turned down for real help available for the Doctor to give was withheld with clear intent, and not be considered for a complete examination was mind-blowing and left me with a fired up motivation from my level of disgust.
