As we wind down National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Auto Trends with JeffCars.com, the longest running multicultural syndicated automotive program in North America, talks one-on-one for the first time with a urologist. Just like in the auto industry where it’s difficult to find a Black-owned new car dealership, it’s also the same in terms of locating a Black urologist.
More importantly, when we’re in search of a Black female urologist, like with Black female new car dealers, its like finding a needle in a haystack.
Dr. Linda
McIntire, a urologist who recently served as the president of R. Frank Jones Urological Society, an organization of Black urologists, joins Auto Trends
with JeffCars.com for a wide-ranging candid educational conversation. While
some men may have mixed feelings when talking about sex, erectile dysfunction
and the likes with a female urologist, others realize that the opposite sex brings
a sensitivity to the conversation that many men lack.
With that being the case, during the enlightening talk, Dr. McIntire covers everything from biases with clinical trials and the established prostate screening ages to the connection of Black mothers and sisters in select cancer groups and how that could place their Black sons and brothers in a high-risk prostate cancer diagnosis group.
Moreover, the
doctor tackles cultural sensitivity in healthcare to measures R.
Frank Jones Urological Society has taken to recruit more urologists from the
community.
