Flight attendant to black doctor during emergency: ‘We’re looking for actual physicians’
Click here for reuse options!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.

It’s astonishing that in the 21st century, there could still be people who think like that.

But he’s Kenyan and a Muslim, so he doesn’t count. And a communist. And a socialist. And his wife is a man.

Wow.
The flight attendant must have thought: you’re black, you don’t matter, you can’t possibly be above my station.
Sad racist instinct.
