On a side note: I do prefer that my docters be black or a person of color.
I had a black doctor, a man, examine me after I had my daughter. I loved him. He looked like Re-run from the show What's Happening. He had a very disarming sense of humor and a down to earth, genuine interest in me.
I also loved Cynthia, our black nurse practitioner/midwife. She helped deliver grandson number one and did some of my well health care. She was a amazing and so warm and real. With both the black male doctor and Cynthia, they didn't talk down to me. They treated me like an equal. Of course, Dr. Rebot, my last ob/gyn that Cynthia worked for was cute as a button and he respected my intelligence as a patient. He was always getting into trouble with his staff for spending too long speaking with each of his patients. He loved his wife and respected her. He told me that she was just like the wife on the show Home Improvement.
