Kameelah Phillips
Kameelah Phillips Biography
Dr. Kameelah Phillips is an obstetrician and gynecologist, so using speculums to treat patients is par for the course. Unfortunately, many tools of the trade were developed by Dr. James Marion Sims—a white man dubbed "the father of modern gynecology"—through the testing of his gynecological inventions on enslaved Black women, often without their consent and with no measures to mitigate their pain.
That was exactly the case for the so-called Sims speculum, which, Phillips learned about 10 years ago, was used to operate on an 18-year-old Black woman named Lucy, completely without anesthesia and in front of a room of observing doctors. That's when Phillips decided that in her operating rooms, the tool would be referred to as Lucy rather than Sims. Phillips wasn't going to give honor to a man whose instrument was "developed off the pain of women who looked like me." Her stance has caught on in the medical community, and in 2020 it inspired thousands to sign online petitions calling for all of Sims' tools to be renamed "for all the Black and Brown women he experimented on."
