Think Journalism is Full of Liberals? Healthcare is Rapidly Winning That War

It was November of 2014. In my previous life as a Pharmacy Technician, I had just started a new job at one of the largest area hospitals where I live. I was very excited. It had a great reputation, and even though I was working towards one day getting out of healthcare, I still had bills to pay. November of 2014 was also roughly three months after the Ferguson, Missouri riots following the death of Michael Brown, and emotions were still pretty raw. After the dreaded first day, I began to settle into my new workplace. Everyone was very nice and eager to show me the ropes. One day, as I was training with one of my new coworkers, we were talking, and the subject turned to the Michael Brown case, and more broadly, politics. What I learned was that many of my new coworkers were, like myself, conservative. But while those who were not right-leaning, and the majority of my new black coworkers felt perfectly comfortable voicing their political opinions, including those about the Brown case, those who were conservative, felt the exact opposite. They were intimidated not to share their opinions and often ridiculed when they did. It was as if they were forced into some secret society, some medical version of “Friends of Abe.”
