Tamika Cross, is an OBGYN in training, (not actually qualified to help out on someone unsupervised) and got upset and felt disrespected when a flight attendant told her that they can only accept help from actual doctors. Of course, she took to social media to vent her frustrations.

I guess the real question is whether there will be any sort of fallout from this? Does any of this make the flight attendant racist? I'd say she was doing a bad job if she actually went ahead and let someone who wasn't a doctor try to help.

Washington Post Wrote:

Tamika Cross, a physician, was midway through a flight from Detroit to Minneapolis when a passenger emergency sent her into “doctor mode.”

Sometime after takeoff, a man two rows in front of her suddenly became unresponsive, she said, and flight attendants called for help.

Cross, an obstetrician and gynecologist, said she immediately flagged down one of the crew members, offering to treat the man.

She got a response she wasn’t prepared for.

“Oh no, sweetie, put [your] hand down,” Cross recalled the flight attendant saying. “We are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, we don’t have time to talk to you.”

The reason behind the flight attendant’s apparent skepticism? Cross says it was because she is black.

Cross described the experience on the flight in an Oct. 9 Facebook post that had been shared more than 34,000 times as of Thursday night. In it, she said she was “sick of being disrespected” as a woman of color in her profession and accused Delta, the flight operator, of “blatant discrimination.”

Delta said it has reached out to Cross about what happened. In multiple comments from the official Delta Facebook account, the company said the incident “does not reflect the Delta culture. We condemn discrimination toward our customers.”

Cross’s story calls up other incidents in which black professionals claim to have been racially profiled. Over the summer, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) made waves with a speech from the Senate floor in which he recounted being questioned by police because of his race. And in a now-famous confrontation, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested by a white police officer at his house in Cambridge, Mass.

If the airline allowed her to "help," they would be exposed to a lawsuit from an aggrieved victim who would claim that the airline was negligent in allowing a non-doctor to administer aid.

If the airline did not allow allow her to "help," they are exposed to a lawsuit from an aggrieved, hypersensitive person who claims to have been "discriminated" against.

The part the obgyn seems to gloss over is the part about the credentials.

If there is a medical emergency, you need to make sure the person is an actual doctor, and not some tweakr just saying "yep I'm a doctor" for obvious reasons. There is probably some flight attendant protocol for that.

This isn't to say that Delta, American and United don't have some of the rudest washed up hags and condescending homosexuals on the planet working as flight attendants.

Here's how a real doctor handles business on an airplane:

And here's a passenger chipping in to help out:

Aloha!

I don't think the resident in training is actually going to sue Delta. She just wanted the attention from social media and from publications like the Washington Post and CNN. She can't possibly win on a lawsuit, she doesn't have a license to practice medicine.

At worst, I think the flight attendant was maybe a little bit short or brief in saying "we can't let you help because you don't have a medical license, it would get us in legal trouble if you gave any help" or whatever she said.

Will Delta get any actual fallout from this though? I mean maybe a little bit from twitter and some harsh words on facebook, but I think if someone was looking for a flight and saw delta had a cheaper flight than southwest or united(or whoever) on the days that they wanted to fly, they would pick delta.

Once you have practiced for a year post medical school graduation you, get a licence and a DEA number. She may not be a Board Certified OBY GYN but she is a licensed doctor. Every doctor knows how to administer basic aid to someone in acute distress, it is part of the requirements to pass Step 1, 2CS,2CK, and 3. My brother is a Intervention Radiologist but he knows how to deliver a baby, treat an MI, and do other related General Practice medicine. I am currently completing my USMLE exams and will match in 2017, so I know what I am talking about.

Just because she is black do not assume that the flight attendant was right. When I did my rotations I had people and staff routinely question why I was on the wards anytime I did not have my white coat on-this never happened to the white students or the Asian students. The flight attendant mad a bad call with her choice of words and demeanor, all she had to say is "are you a doctor" and wait for the affirmative response- then get out of the way so the physician could work.

Exactly. I just searched for and booked a flight literally 15 minutes ago and the two cheapest fares that matched my preferred times were American and Delta. I don't fly all that often so I don't worry about frequent flier mileage, etc. and all of these U.S. legacy carriers are the same to me (mediocre). I decided to book the flight on Delta just because I'm so sick of people trying to claim outrage over social media to attention whore, and it was the one small thing I could do to counterbalance this type of shit to negate any effects.

I'm not siding with the flight attendant and if they were being racist, even if covertly, that was wrong. I'm just so sick of attention whoring on social media due to being "offended", as I'm sure most of us are by now.

Real talk...Despite what the cucks & tradcons would say, just a few words of courtesy goes along way.

This is the same that goes for bogus sexual harassment suits too---The wrong words can be misinterpreted when a man talks to a female employee who decided to "flaunt" 99% of her breasts in an office, but with this case, it was the flight attendant who opened up her company to a lawsuit for the wrong words which does seem to be a bit rude, if not borderline racism.

This MD isn't appearing to be any BLM activist, so how she was treated by that flight attendant does sound unfairly and could be perceived as discriminatory for some reason.

I'm sure that if some Anglo chick even shitted out a pair of dentist pliers, the flight attendants would claim that she is a dentist without even judging or asking for medical background, because Anglo women persistently push how they should be believed, while people of darker shades are not believed when they claim that they are lawyers, doctors, dentists, surgeons and other high ranking members of society

---However, the government does not discriminate against people, and in the USA, it is still way better for anyone to excel in life as long they avoid the far left SJW shit and the far right Cuckservative nonsense...

Of course, she says women of color. So fucking sick of this black women victim shit. They're the most successful minority group in the fucking country, and beat afro american men with ease.

The most successful non white minority group in the United States is Asians(I include India, and Pakistan in Asia), then Middle Easterners, Then Hispanics(the entire Hispanic Diaspora including the Caribbean Spanish) then black women. I am only classifying people here legally-no undocumented immigrants. Black american males are at the absolute bottom economically.

Ah. Seems like I read a thread that stated Black women are the most successful. Maybe it was most educated.

We only have her side of the story. Reading the facebook post, I have to make an assumption that Dr. Cross didn't communicate properly to the flight attendant. She said she is an OBGYN doctor without calcification that she can handle in emergency. Flight attendant, hearing that she is OBGYN, just have flashbacks to she her own doctor and assume that she can't handle an emergency.

Off Topic: Atlana Man, good luck on the Match. I screw up my application for this year, but even with everything, there a lot of luck in get an interview. Here additional wish you competing with social retard applicants.

She looks relatively young in appearance. It was probably a bias with respect to age (i.e., "lacks experience") rather than a bias with respect to race that is the root cause of this.

Or a gender bias. Men are doctors, women are nurses.

Fucking hilarious. "I'm being treated badly because I'm black." > Calls the flight attendant in question a bovine animal.

Meanwhile, Trump even mentions that men and women have sexual functions and he's character assassinated every day by CNN, the NYT, WaPo and every other biased outlet.

She probably had a moral dilemma as to whether to play the victim card or the entitlement card. Thankfully attention whoring won out, so now we see both.

Unfortunate but not surprising. Let's flip the script:

When Jeremy Lin's NBA teammates first learned about him, my guess is they wondered, "Wait, an Asian guy? For real?"

[Tayo]

Mr eradicator - Did you know that in almost every country in the world, before you become an OBGYN you would have to become an actual doctor and OBGYN is a specialist doctor?

Seriously... did you know that or you pretended not to know just to bash her because she is a woman or black - which is it?

Being an OBGYN in training already makes her a qualified general practitioner or GP doctor (commonwealth countries like Nigeria use this term) meaning she has her Bachelor of Medicine degree...

You do know that right? Or your racist or gender bias doesn't allow you acknowledge that?

Which is it?

Seriously?.... like seriously?

In which country in the world does a person become a specialist doctor (OBGYN) without becoming and practising as a general practitioner or GP doctor first?

In case you bias can't allow you decode what I wrote - the black woman is even more qualified than your so-called "actual doctor" .... because she has both "basic" and "specialists" knowledge!
