I'll give you my experience.

And my experience is

when I get a...when I have a black doctor.

When I have a black doctor,
my experience has been

that I receive better care.

I receive more consideration,

I receive more help

when I have a black doctor.

A doctor just like me.

That's been my experience.

I've had the best success

at that VA hospital with black doctors.

It's almost like we have a connection

as far as racial.

We have a connection.

And I think once we talk and
we get to know each other,

we find that we share
some of the same passions,

especially in the area of human rights

and equality for all people.

And I found that with two of my doctors

who were, they were black,

but one was from Haiti and
the other ones from Ghana.

But those were like two of the
best doctors I've ever had.
