Here's the uncomfortable truth: Race, gender, sexual orientation, age, body size, income, and other cultural factors have a significant bearing on whether you will be diagnosed and treated correctly. The good news is regardless of whether you are a patient, healthcare provider, or administrator, there are steps you can take today to combat medical bias. The only book on this subject written by a primary care doctor who is a woman of color, DISMISSED examines all forms of bias - those related to race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation, age, disabilities, obesity, and the increasing bias against science - instructing patients, doctors, and administrators alike on how we can all identify bias - and how we can all do better.

For the first time, an author with the unique perspective of being one of America's top doctors, a woman, and Black, candidly addresses the issue of bias in health-care, sharing personal and patient stories and pragmatic solutions. Dr. Angela Marshall, repeatedly named a "Top Doctor" by Washingtonian magazine, draws on extensive research, poignant stories from some of the thousands of patients she has treated, and her own compelling personal experience, to examine the bias from both patients' and health-care providers' points of view. She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel profoundly--that the system is not working for them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.

Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Health-care bias can mean the difference not just between suffering and relief, but between life and death.

Living this "football life" has afforded me extraordinary opportunities, exposure to life's options and blessings untold. That life filled my personal "playbook" with the wisdom to call an audible, pass, run or, go for the two-point conversion as I lived each day. Yes, I observed the "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" from the stands and sidelines. Most importantly, I'd beheld strength, courage and purpose. And, those qualities molded me into the person I am today. I got off the bench after merely existing and got into the game of living.

LUST... The things I sometimes succumb to mentally and physically. Is it fantasy or the freedom from commitment I truly seek. LESSONS... Class is always in session. The student never becomes the teacher. LOVE... Kissing honest but sometimes lying lips. Feeling pleasure and pain. It's better to have loved and not lost. LIFE... Live it or it is lived for you. Either way you are a participant. Angela Marshall, also known as "Stone," is a professional writer, columnist, aspiring bestseller author, mother of 2, ex-NFL wife and business owner of "In Other Words, By Stone."

Life has taken me on a journey which took three major turns, each leading to a road of exploration and discovery; each crafting me into the person who would become skillful at using life's compass in navigating new directions and negotiating what's best for me: REALITY is a place that forced me to face life early on "as is." The seeds planted during that period are directly responsible for my growth. All of my core values were established. No matter how far I strayed, the experiences throughout that time, prepared me for Rags and Riches. RAGS taught me humility, agility and possibility. I learned to be grateful when I am served, but more importantly, to be willing to serve others. The events during this period instilled fearless faith that grounded me and prepared me for true Riches. RICHES is not about what. It's about who. For me that means family, friends and moments. They are true riches which are irreplaceable. If I can replace it, it is not a true treasure.
