Moffitt Cancer Center is constantly implementing care for patients through new research. An important part of a patient’s treatment plan is empathy.
Dr. Brandon Blue has been in medicine since 2011.
“Things are different every day. I never know what I’m going to walk into. It keeps it interesting and keeps me on my toes,” Dr. Blue said. “I didn’t know what the road to becoming a doctor actually looked like. I really never saw myself as a doctor because I didn’t know what it looked like.”
Across the country, the path to becoming a doctor didn’t look like him. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, only 5 percent of physicians are Black.
One of Dr. Blue’s patients is Gary Lambert. Lambert has spent the last 8 years fighting myeloma.
“I’m not nervous for myself, I’m nervous for my family, my kids,” said Lambert.
