Still on the matter of whether I am a doctor…
I have had quizzical looks.
Someone just told me today, on LI… “MD, yeah right”, she wrote…
They have walked past me in the clinic, up to my nurse and asked her if I AM REALLY the doctor.
They have told me they “love” my accent, and they have a neighbor in the projects, who looks just like me.
They have told me just “how young” I look, and how I am not old enough to be the doctor.
They have asked me how come my English is so good and wondered how I got to America…
They have even told me to go back to my country and “stop taking” their jobs…
But still, I stand.
And walk with an exaggerated swing to my hips and a killer swagger…
I AM a doctor, phenomenally.
I AM a pediatrician, a good one.
Yes, I AM.
Dare to walk in my heels?
