Black Folk Don't  Go to the Doctor

Is it really true that Black Folk Don’t care about their health? Details

 

Program: Black Folk Don't

Episode: Go to the Doctor

Black folk are often encouraged to make more trips to the doctor. Do black folk see the doctor any less than other folk? Are there questions of access to be explored as part of the conversation? Or is this yet another urban myth? The news always focuses on the lack of care black people take of their health - but is it just a socio-economic thing, or is there some historical reason?
