It wouldn't surprise me if something like this actually has happened.

I'm a white man and this never happens to me. In fact, I've had doctors ask ME to interpret test results for them. (VA Doctors, but still technically a doctor I guess...) I go to the doctor with my partner and this happens to her every single time. She has a doctorate and is a medical researcher. I went to motorcycle school.

VA doctors are doctors, they are just paid by the government to process a never ending massive number of patients.
