When interracial couples disagree about healthcare system reform

My partner is a white doctor and I'm a Black social worker and we keep having these circular arguments about whether the hospital system can be reformed from within, especially after cases where I've seen patients harmed by implicit bias, and I don't know how to bridge the gap between their optimism and my lived experience.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people committed to healing are separated by the distance between institutional loyalty and lived understanding of that institution's harm.
