She says her greatest challenge was being the first black person to do their residency at New York City, St. Vincent's Hospital. I literally went through hell, with gasoline drawers on.

He runs my call schedule, he tells me which cases I can go to. Most of his view point was based on a woman who was previously there,, who used her feminine mystic to gain, and maintain her lifestyle.
