Today, Dr. BCW is sharing medical information in helpful and disarming ways to help build trust which is often lacking. Topics range from complex diagnoses, uncomfortable medical terms, and consistently, teaching patients how to advocate for themselves. Bias is pervasive in healthcare. Breaking through those barriers includes telling real patient stories to get beyond the statistics. This includes sharing her own story of nearly losing her life after the birth of her second child. Knowing something was wrong, asking for help, and not being heard.
We have a long way to go to break through bias in healthcare. Dr. BCW aims to educate, to share medical information, and to tell real patient stories. And if she can reach one patient, break down one barrier, that is what she is after. Her purpose is to save lives.
