Women’s History Month: Remember #DrSusanMoore
As I write my March Covid Chronicle article, I still wrestle with survivor’s guilt. I was diagnosed in October 2021 and survived to tell the story.
Dr. Susan Moore didn’t. This Women’s History Month — I wanted to honor her memory. It was her video that gave me the strength to literally fight for my life and freedom from what I knew would be my death bed — if I wasn’t released.
Dr. Moore’s heartbreaking video before her untimely death helped shine a light on the poor, neglectful, and deadly treatment many Black women face in hospitals due to race and gender bias, discrimination, and misinformation. Black women feel pain and we deserve dignity and compassion. We should receive the same professional, diligent and efficient medical service and care as any other person.

She deserved better
Thank you, Dr. Susan Moore - we mourn you and we will remember you and your sacrifice.
