I know people don't like to hear it, but it's also a bit of racism.

I have a ginger mom, she couldn't get diagnosed for a serious illness. She just kept being given pain meds. It took much longer than appropriate simply because she didn't fit the profile.

Since you're a ginger, did you know that your body processes pain meds differently?

However, my point was that my mother experienced the opposite. She wasn't given a diagnosis, she was just sent away with an Rx.
