We start our part two with talking about ways that we can communicate to your care provider and setting the tone for your appointment. Something we should always ask is what is the differential diagnosis? This puts you in a position to gather more information and have your doctor really be present with you in the exam room.  That was just the start to the wisdom Kimether showered on us.  
We've all heard and experienced the abysmal information and care when it comes to Endometriosis. Have you ever stepped back and looked at the history of endometriosis care? Imagine having the same pain as other's but being told it's only a white woman's disease. Kimether continues walking us through the history of Endometriosis and the roots of racism and scientific racism to people of color. She talks about how it  all really started with a doctor with the last name of Meigs ( ring a bell?). It started out because of a sociological difference between middle to upper class white woman and people of color.  Kimether gives not only the history, but incredibly insightful thoughts on why there's still racial inequality within our health system and specifically for those of color dealing with Endometriosis, or any chronic disease. 
This episode was thought-provoking and full of mind blowing information. Listening to Kimether bring history to light challenges us to look at how we approach inclusive care for all.  This is a must listen to for everyone!
