Dr. Sandra Scott, Interim CEO at One Brooklyn Health, is continuing to break the glass ceiling in healthcare, and is working to help bring trust back in the
system for the LGBTQIA+ community.
“In Louisiana during that time, there was no discussion. I think the discussions around being a person of color was about gently pushing back against a lot of the racist practices that we had to deal with. I never really heard any discussions about the LGBTQIA+ community, I don’t remember in college, I don’t remember there being gay bars or gay societies,” said Dr. Scott.
“We’re all human beings, right? LGBTQIA+ people have headaches and chest pains and stomach viruses and COVID. There are a few circumstances where there’s something that might be unique to the LGBTQIA+ community, like transitioning. But for the most part, it’s the medicine that is not terribly different, because we’re all human beings.
Dr. Scott told amNewYork Metro that in these situations, medical professionals can stand to be trained to further develop a healthy relationship with their queer patients. That said, when patients are in their appointments, Dr. Scott says the best thing they can do is advocate for themselves.
