Ever wonder why so many black people are inherently skeptical or outright distrustful of medical providers? If so (or if that sentence is red hot news to you) we can assure you there is a reason.

This episode we highlight a few key moments in history that explain why the distrust is so high and so common. How that old lie “blacks don't feel pain” advanced medical discoveries through exploitation and experimentation including but not limited to the “Father of Modern Gynecology”. How black medicine men/women and midwives were both needed and wanted but ultimately cast aside. How that boxing out and rejection opened the door for separate but never equal healthcare in this country right on through this very moment.

Donald and Savannah ponder on their potential new superpowers and the big $ 600 we may or may not receive while Donald combs his newfound beard with a foot long afro pick.
