Abstract
The author describes her personal experience with a cardiac diagnosis to demonstrate how wellness disparities are often rooted in historical constructions of “ideal” physical presentation that are both racialized and gendered. Her experiential analysis contends that failure to contextualize patients and divorce them from these historically problematic constructions is used to justify their profound disability and death.
