So I woke up early last Friday and made my way to WCLK in support of the ”Black Barbershop Health Outreach Initiative” with founder Dr. Bill Releford. The Doc was a really interesting person. He explained to me how the idea to form the initiative. Then he shared a story about a very interesting event that occured during his residency in Detroit, MI at one of the hospitals there.

It took him a few attempts to complete the story, due to a few interruptions, but he finished it & it left us all like, “Wow…”

So here goes… He had a female patient come in & upon review of x-rays, it showed that her hips were deteriorating by the hour. She was in her 20’s, white, professional corporate woman. So for days the Doc ran test trying to figure out what was going on with this woman & her hips.

One day the woman asked the Doc to step closer to her, she pulls back the sheet & pressing down on her abdomen & out squirts puss… at which time she informs him that she’s a heroine user & that she’s been shooting in her groin area as to avoid there being any evidence of her abuse showing on her arms or hands…. like I said.. “Wow..”

Check out my nephew… we hung for a minute the night before…
