    Racism in Medicine: Shifting the Power

    J. Nwando Olayiwola

    Background n/a

    What This Study Found A black female family physician shares a personal experience in which a racist rant by a patient seemingly reverses the usual power dynamic. She describes the resilience she has developed over time and the tools and strategies she has turned to over the years to handle the aggressions she has experienced from patients, colleagues and institutions.
