Tony Moore

And at the time, he says, Tony, can I talk to you for a moment? And I was almost even hesitant to answer the phone. Like, why are they calling me to leave something at the hospital? And we start having a conversation and he tells me, well, I shouldn't have been discharged. And I said, well, and then that so that's instantly one of the things that coming from a diverse community that was upset.

Right. Then he says, well, we'd like to review all your information. And that's why we want you to come back. And at that time, I was I almost had like an attitude of like, you know, no, not doing it. Don't care what you got to say. You know, all that should have been taken care of. Where were you during the 12 hours? I was at the hospital. Right.

Well, I came into the hospital at nine something that night and I left at three o'clock the next day. So 12 plus six, I was at the hospital for over 18 hours.

Go ahead. The reason behind that, though, is the worst part is my initial information that was given to me is that I have a little bit of a blockage. Dr. Hussein's colleague told me that I had a 70% blockage. So there's a big difference between 70% and a little percent of blockage. No kidding. At least 69%. Yeah. And so at that point, I was thinking that I'm kind of on death's door.

And why did it take for me to get information about me being that blocked? having that much blockage or being in that much danger that that wasn't dealt with between 9 p.m. and 3 p.m. the following day.

Chris. Yeah, so Dr. Chris was trying to have a conversation with me and it goes a little something like this. Well, Tony, you know, you have the 70% blockage and we really want to go back and go through your films. And by the way, we have a study that we'd like you to do.

Or be part of. Yeah. And Clarence, I'm going to involve you in this portion of the conversation. As another minority who is African-American, does every Black household grow up knowing about the Tuskegee experiment? I could tell you, no. I could tell you that.

So in communities where history has shown that America has done these clandestine little experiments in Black communities, I was really angry that I was approached for something left out. So I was discharged under one pretense. asked to come back and then in the same breath, asked to participate in some revolutionary new study for black people, black and brown people.

And only thing I thought about was the results of the Tuskegee experiment, syphilis and all those other kinds of things and sickle cell and everything else that has happened throughout time when minorities have been, in terms of my brain, used as a Guinea pig to do something.

And so without being rude at that time, I said, I'm not sure. I'll have to check with some other people. But as soon as I got off the phone with him, I think that I was using every... I went full Richard Pryor in my own car and started having little conversations about how I felt and using language that wasn't appropriate to air in a podcast. Right. But we get the gist. Yes.
