  1. But yet nobody talks about male suicide and deaths going thru the roof the last decade. Oh yeah nobody cares about men only women.

  2. U have ur answer if its been since the vax. report the facts. ….LGB

  3. There is nothing about medicine, or Pharmacology and Procedural Care, that is actually out to help overall without money in mind. And those practices, those procedures, those patented medical solutions.. are BASED ON MONEY. Period. You have a cycle of ridiculous failing standards, costs of education, fees for insurance against malpractice, and human errors all manipulated for nothing but greed. Stop seeing doctors as "genuine" or "authorities" with their title alone, see their track records, see their reality.

  4. This is all too common and the saddest thing we have to deal with as actually human beings.

  5. If Africans don’t like it here why do they keep coming by the thousands? Why aren’t they leaving instead?

  6. Doulas and midwives can detect, but can NOT treat high-risk black pregnancies. Protect black doctors. Black women- no ring, no love! Honor yourselves. Black men- less braids and bracelets. Father your families. Learn to sacrifice for your black families and black nation. Prove that #BLM!

  7. The questions that still don´t have answer: Why Joe Biden opened the border and with this increased the traffic drug like fentanyl produced mainly from China? Why Joe Biden has avoid talk about Virus covid 19 origins with Xi Jinping and of course is trying reduce the pression under China that the world is making about this? Why Biden´s son Hunter Biden in your laptop appeared a lot of prove about business with illegal Chinese companies like electric company and others that Biden´s family have make for years and years via China? Which the mainly interest that Joe Biden and democratic party have in introduce socialist ideology into the USA? Would be the "World New Order" by China project ?

  8. I'm an enrolled member of the Northern Cheyenne tribe. My ob-gyn doctor, who is a white male, told me that i didn't need pain relief during labor because I was Native American. He said we didn't feel pain like white women.

  9. isn't that death of natural cause

  10. More fake racist rhetoric from fake news.

  11. This is so disturbing. Something very fishy is going on in the medical profession (like the police?) where black people are marginalized due to racist “professionals “. The KKK has infiltrated all professions.

  12. What do we expect? The doctors barely come in for delivery to catch the babies and the nurses REFUSE to contact the doctors for any reason lest they bother them. In a post-Roe world this is only going to get worse for every woman.

  13. find a midwife. stop going back to the same place that keeps killing everyone. watch the business of being born. midwives are trained in natural birth. doctors are trained for drugs and surgery. only 5% of births need a c section yet the average is 30% of births.

  14. In France, there is the "Mediteranean symdrome", a racist theory learned in Medical schools that say Patient from South (Europe, Africa) tend to do more drama when it comes to physical pain….So patient are not taken serisously. Is it the same in the US?

  15. Dont trust these hospitals. We need to be more aggressive and insistent if we feel something is not right.

  16. National disgrace. This shouldn't be happening when people have to pay for maternity care. They get paid for killing women. Black women in particular.

  17. What happened with everyone there?

  18. this needs to be talked about more its a really issue stats dont lie

  19. Another propaganda on roe v Wade being overturned . Stop trying to have the right to kill babies people … It's wrong to kill an innocent life. Abortion should only be used for rape victims, incest and medical reasons. Otherwise you need to take responsibility for your actions

  20. Ok since we are gonna be racist we’re are the documentary’s on Hispanics bringing drugs to America? We’re is the documentary on white people murdering children in elementary schools and parades? See that wasn’t even hard.

  21. Shout out to George Floyd on 2 years of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!

  22. Where's the documentary shedding light on black crimes?

  23. It's not a woman issue it's everyone issue without black women there's no black men period🥺
