#WeDoExist......#WhatDoctorsLookLike

 Dr. Tamika Cross, a black doctor from Houston  wrote that a Delta Air Lines flight attendant snubbed her and made "condescending remarks" when she volunteered to help a passenger having a medical emergency.When Cross raised her hand in response to a call for a physician on board, Cross said that the flight attendant allegedly told her, "oh no sweetie put ur [sic] 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."Cross claimed that when she tried to explain that she was indeed a physician, the attendant "bombarded" her with questions, including, "What type of Doctor are you? Where do you work? Why were you in Detroit?"
The flight attendant eventually accepted the help of "another 'seasoned' white male" who approached and said he was a physician as well, Cross said.
Cross added that the flight attendant later "came and apologized [to] me several times and offering me skymiles," but "I kindly refused."
"I don't want skymiles in exchange for blatant discrimination," she said. "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."
