Is anyone watching Dr. Nancy on MSNBC?

OMG - I hope there's video of this segment available soon. She just revealed herself to be the worst sort of racist imaginable while discussing the case of the woman whose baby died after she waited over six hours for emergency medical treatment before giving up and going home only to deliver a breach baby.

I cannot even find the words to convey how ignorant "Dr. Nancy" just came off while describing how this might have happened.

1. I heard her say something about a "large black woman screaming". Pray tell, what happened?

I was not paying attention - but based on what you wrote, and what little I heard - OMG.

4. Pretty much her expounding on the "fat, screaming, black woman motif"

I was in the other room wrapping presents and when I heard that I had to put the scissors down and come stare at the TV is disbelief.

She was saying that the medical assistant/receptionist had serious cases to deal with, kids screaming, etc - and she does this eyeroll thing about a heavy screaming black woman who didn't even know she was pregnant. Like we all know heavy black women are prone to screaming and groaning in hospital waiting rooms for no good goddamn reason. Who WOULD have known to check her out???

Which, btw - from what I read other patients were asking that the woman be seen before them. One was told to mind her business or she wouldn't see a doctor. Sheesh!

I can't even do this justice. I hope someone saved the segment. It's "must see TV". Disgusting.

5. she's an ass. she has the head of the Calif. Nurses Association, who

have been TREMENDOUS on and she started by talking about their concerns over the swine flu vaccination and then said after introducing her, 'what are you squabbling about now?" Fucking sow. Treating anyone, let alone professional nurses like that. Sow she is and always will be with me.

2. After hearing her advice about "Just get the damn vaccine" my respect for

her medical credentials was destroyed...
