Racism in the Health System

In the summer of 2020, I woke up with pain in my pelvic area so bad I couldn’t walk. I sat in a hot bath to try to alleviate it but outside of the water the pain was persistent so I started running through my options. What it could be, how should I fix it, (is it a UTI?!)? After some tears and a quick call to the Women's Wellness Program, it was determined I should see a walk-in clinic doctor, someone who could see me relatively quickly and run some basic tests.
