Dr. Kimberly Douglass joins this episode (originally recorded on The Neurodivergent Nurse Podcast) to discuss what is behind the difficulties of receiving a diagnosis of ADHD for Black Americans. She discusses how symptoms in Black children are ignored as we look at issues such as the school to prison pipleline, the racial and ethnic disparities across the entire healthcare spectrum, implicit bias with diagnosing Black Americans, community stigma and more. Dr. Douglass has formed an encouraging community with her presence on TikTok (drkimberlydouglass) where she shares her knowledge of all things Neurodivergence ranging from Autism to needs of executive functioning to the reminders we all need to hear that we are whole today and deserving of quality of life.

"I’m okay if it hurts and I’m okay if I feel uncomfortable because I would rather have truth than to block what I’m feeling. It’s part of being human, it’s part of being a nurse and it’s part of being a father." - Nurse Papa

There are many fears in the United States of America circulating around the new president, Joe Biden. One of the fears include socialized medicine/Universal Healthcare. In the United States we don’t fully grasp what it includes and there are countless myths and misconceptions when discussing such issues. First Do No Harm dives into the issue by having the hosts of Gritty Nurse Podcast (one of my favorites) on to discuss what Universal Health Care means in their country (Canada). I hope you enjoy listening to these two nurses as they educate me on what the realism of such construct really means.
In the 17th Century the author Jonathan Swift wrote: “Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it.” In the year 2020 it is apparent falsehood flies as fast as ever in our own, supposedly scientific times.
A survey by the Pew Research Center found that a quarter of U.S. adults believe that there's at least some truth to a conspiracy theory that the coronavirus pandemic was intentionally started. Others allege that the outbreak isn't as bad as reported, that a quarter-million Americans haven't died. Official narratives and figures are questioned.
The confusion that seems infectious has real and serious consequences.
For this weeks episode my guest is Thomas Bowman, a partner with Resolute Strategy, a full-service strategic consulting firm in Richmond Virginia who has been studying covid19 and the conspiracies since March of 2o2o. We chat about how his company got started in debunking the conspiracies and where they originate. We also chat about the funniest ones he has covered in his TikTok account Resolutstrat.
Being questioned, "What happened to sweet Jami" caused internal reflection. As I compare myself today to who I was 10 years ago I realized this family friend was right. I am so different and no longer seemingly timid and docile. As I continued to reflect, I realize the change came as I grew in the world of nursing. Being a nurse doesn't change you, but it should. If you are thinking about becoming a nurse, if you're currently a nurse, or a retired nurse tune in to see if you think these attributes are those that describe you.

A break was taken after I questioned about making a difference in the world. The last few weeks have been those of reflection and revelation. As Ralph Waldo stated, “To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” Let’s be successful people together.
9/11/2001. My facebook feed was full of stories of how people reflected on what they were doing the moment they heard or watched the attack as the planes crashed into the towers. Our country was one full of fear, full of mourning for those that died beneath the rubble. We came together, united. 2,977 lives were lost that terrible day. We welcomed the changes that came to prevent another attack that could kill a mass amount of people again. TSA was formed. We gladly jumped through the hoops, we rolled with the changes of the early times to get to the airports, the new guidelines that would be put in place.
9/11/2020 Our country is in the midst of a pandemic. Almost 200,000 lives have been lost so far. How are we handling the pain and devastation we are going through as a country 19 years later?
