A typical diagnosis it was not.
A woman has filed a complaint with the Tennessee Department of Health after a doctor attributed her back pain to her "ghetto booty."
Terry Ragland, 55, said she "couldn't believe" that Dr. Timothy Sweo, who she had never visited before, made the comment about her posterior.
"I think I blacked out after he said 'ghetto booty'," Ragland said.
After complaining to the office manager, Ragland received a letter three weeks later in which Sweo wrote, "I was trying to take technical conversation regarding your lower back and make it less technical."
Ragland was offended by the letter because she felt it implied she wouldn't be able to understand the more technical explanation of her lower back pain -- lumbar lordosis.
In keeping with with his rather unusual bedside manner, Sweo responded to the controversy by saying, "I think I do understand why her feelings were hurt but I don't understand what's offensive about it."
If a doctor had said that to my wife I would have ended up at the jail bailing her out.
You know women of African decent, they have an anger management problem.
No, the First lady isn't home, so I'll get away with this post...

What poor taste on the part of the doctor.
He should have used the medical term, “too much junk in your trunk.”
Kinda sounds like something from the chorus of a late 70’s disco song.
“Her name was Bertha Butt, one of the Butt Sisters...”
I think we should all ponder the tragedy of Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Years after his video, a tired and haunted man, he confessed that he lives in fear of enormous, obese women with gigantic posteriors, who invade his privacy to exhibit to him their immense booties.
No wait, I’m thinking “Get Up and Boogie”.
Well....you're just no fun. :-)
I saw that fly over a stadium once.

Yeah, yeah. But can she Twerk it?
She would have attacked him had she told her she had acute angina.
Let me try that again...She would have attacked him had HE told her she had acute angina.
Good LORD!
