Summary

Dr. Victoria Dooley explains why she, as a Black woman, physician and mother, supports Bernie Sanders and became a surrogate for his campaign. She shares a story about a patient who died because she put off going to the doctor and shows the life and death importance of #medicareforall. Plus she pushes back on the Bernie Bro myth, addresses what issues won't be solved by medicare for all, the importance of having more Black doctors, what got her into medicine and tells us about being RT'd by Cardi B. And how people could be angrier about Bernie raising his voice then they are about the injustices he's raising his voice (and awareness) around.
