Get Aquenetta out of Here!

In the July 2nd edition of the New York Times Magazine (my absolute fav), The Ethicist (sorry link is long gone) brought to light a fairly typical situation to arise in hospitals and the corporate world, a la "Something New", illustrating the ever enduring Affirmative Action LIFE policies for LMC women...as usual.

Apparently, the person who submitted the article, a nurse from the Texas hospital in question...that's right folks, Texas, tells us of the demanding LMC patient who felt more comfortable with a female anesthesiologist and politely asked if it were possible to reassign the position, already assigned to a man, to a woman. The hospital complied.

As the patient was being prepared for surgery, she was told the name of the newly assigned anesthesiologist. Let's call her "Aquenetta Sharise Jenkins", the pseudonym for the black doctor assigned to the LMC patient. The name, having a ridiculously high probability of belonging to a black woman, enraged the LMC patient, who shamelessly demanded an LMC doctor. The hospital, only minutes away from the surgery, decided to grant her wish since it was too early in the morning to question hospital officials on the ethics of her request.

Liberal LMCs could (and would) make the argument that this patient, and just plain old "Race in America" is the reason that LMCs would worry about using negro doctors...right or wrong, LMC doctors simply GET to work on more patients therefore they gain more experience...well, good lookin' out my LMC saviors, but let's face it...Eventhough the LMCs in this country equate a black person's doctorate with an LMCs B.A. and would sooner hire an LMC with a criminal record than a black with a Masters Degree, we all know the truth... Black folks have to work 50 million times (a possible exaggeration) harder and have to temper their souls daily to deal with the entitled LMCs faux spirits just to get the same opportunities that are simply handed to LMCs in this country.

For "Aquenetta" to get to where she is, she not only had to be exceptional as a student (or at least a hard frickin' worker), but she had to be a social breakdancin' maverick to navigate through the LMCs daily maze of "soullessness". I just don't have the patience.

You make the call.
