Understanding your health is important. I can't say that I've used this method picking a doctor, I still go to my Korean doctor in Monroe even after I moved to Auburn Hills. <br /><br />I have used this method picking professors for my undergrad degree. Only in a couple classes that I knew I was going to have a hard time with, other classes were no problem and it's good to get perspective from people with diverse background. However I did try to take what looked like to be a native English speaker for Statistics II, they split the class up and I ended up with non English speaker. I didn't understand him and he didn't understand the questions I asked... Didn't do so well in that class.Megannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-535886868123613333.post-49901865179862309622011-09-13T18:42:26.847-04:002011-09-13T18:42:26.847-04:00Glad to know I'm not the only one out there.Glad to know I'm not the only one out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326342349019861545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-535886868123613333.post-21711913893790705062011-09-13T17:50:07.300-04:002011-09-13T17:50:07.300-04:00Alright, I saw this at 20sb, and I HAD to respond....Alright, I saw this at 20sb, and I HAD to respond. Why? Because I did the same exact thing a few months ago.<br /><br />I'm a white guy married to a biracial woman, with a quadracial (Hell, I don't know. She's 3/4 white (which includes German and Irish), then 1/4 black). Anywho...<br /><br />I was looking for a primary care physician (spelled right, or not), and I knew I wanted a woman. Of course, I stayed away from the Asian and Natural African names, because lets be honest, we want to understand the doctor, and you have less of a chance to when they're foreign born.<br /><br />And because I'm white, I figured a white woman would be more acclimated to me, so I picked the whitest name I could find: Allison Puckett.<br /><br />She was black. We had a good initial visit, but after she pissed me off the way she treated my wife, I never went back, and won't.<br /><br />So yeah, in a way, it is racist, but not in a terrible way. Races do it all the time. Black people (for the most part) want a black doctor, and so on.<br /><br />Nice post.

I mean, Ihave an Asian friend."<br /><br />But I do feel like I need to say that. I really don't think that I'm racist. This is just to point that out, for those that are judging. (I'd be judging if it weren't me.) I'm very moral, regardless of what I type in this blog.<br /><br />I guess morality is in the eye of the beholder...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326342349019861545noreply@blogger.com
