Reading extensively is the key 🔑

這篇學到一個重要的單字：
blatant discrimination 明目張膽毫不掩飾的歧視

我佩服他在飛機上挺身而出的勇氣,也同情他因為種族膚色而遭到的歧視
如果在飛機上聽到類似的廣播,我其實不確定自己會不會站起來,也不確定自己會不會也被當做沒牌的醫生...
(呼應前陣子履次被鄰居誤認為學生的梗~~)

I'm sure many of my fellow young, corporate America working women of color can all understand my frustration when I say I'm sick of being disrespected.

Was on Delta flight DL945 and someone 2 rows in front of me was screaming for help. Her husband was unresponsive. I naturally jumped into Doctor mode as no one else was getting up. Unbuckle my seatbelt and throw my tray table up and as I'm about to stand up, flight attendant says "everyone stay calm, it's just a night terror, he is alright". I continue to watch the scene closely.

A couple mins later he is unresponsive again and the flight attendant yells "call overhead for a physician on board". I raised my hand to grab her attention. She said to me "oh no sweetie put ur hand down, we are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, we don't have time to talk to you" I tried to inform her that I was a physician but I was continually cut off by condescending remarks.

Then overhead they paged "any physician on board please press your button". I stare at her as I go to press my button. She said "oh wow you're an actual physician?" I reply yes. She said "let me see your credentials. What type of Doctor are you? Where do you work? Why were you in Detroit?" (Please remember this man is still in need of help and she is blocking my row from even standing up while
Bombarding me with questions).

I respond "OBGYN, work in Houston, in Detroit for a wedding, but believe it or not they DO HAVE doctors in Detroit. Now excuse me so I can help the man in need". Another "seasoned" white male approaches the row and says he is a physician as well. She says to me "thanks for your help but he can help us, and he has his credentials". (Mind you he hasn't shown anything to her. Just showed up and fit the "description of a doctor") I stay seated. Mind blown. Blood boiling. (Man is responding the his questions and is seemingly better now Thank God)

Then this heifer has the nerve to ask for my input on what to do next about 10 mins later. I tell her we need vitals and blood sugar. She comes back to report to me a BP of 80/50 (super low, to my non medical peeps) and they can't find a glucometer. We continue down that pathway of medical work up, but the point is she needed my help and I continued to help despite the choice words I had saved up for her. The patient and his wife weren't the problem, they needed help and we were mid flight.

She came and apologized to me several times and offering me skymiles. I kindly refused. This is going higher than her. I don't want skymiles in exchange for blatant discrimination. Whether this was race, age, gender discrimination, it's not right. She will not get away with this....and I will still get my skymiles....

星期六的播報，對我來說是個艱難的任務，心情很悲傷。

尤其是播到五月天空姐粉絲的罹難新聞，更是頭也不敢抬，就怕畫面看多了，下一條稿子我會哽咽的報不出來；但是當一首又一首的五月天歌曲，傳到耳邊，還是必須拚命深呼吸，那畢竟是我們這一代人，共同的青春回憶呀!情緒很難不受波動。我已經努力了。

另外我一直在思考的是，此刻還可以帶給大眾什麼?美國ABC新聞網的這段新聞，希望大家為了自己、為了家人，點擊影片、並且看下去，

【飛機如果掉到水裡，該如何逃生呢?】

依序做到以下三個步驟，請在心中反覆演練：

(1)抓住一個固定的基準點，比如椅子(passengers should find a reference point, such as their chairs)

(2)移除身邊的障礙物，比如扶手(removes obstacles such as armrest)

(3)解開安全帶並且想方設法找到門或窗戶，儘快逃生(Then, they should unbuckle their seatbelts and feel their way to a door or window and get out.)

但是看完這段影片，心裡還是一沉，影片中的試驗者，是位身強體壯沒有受傷的大男人，他尚且花了40秒以上，還出不去；如果意外真的發生，身上還帶傷，那可怎麼辦才好呢???
