What can I - as a white physician - do to better reassure my Black patients?

Of note: this mom said she trusted ME but didn't trust physicians in general. She felt that I was told to "push vaccines" 2/3

I want to earn their trust even though I will NEVER fully experience their fear.

Is that even possible? 3/3
