Blows and clinches: scenes of a cartographic study between the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) and supplementary health

In cartographic research, researchers immerse themselves in the affective-existential setting being studied. Using cartographic methods, this study analyzed the implications and superimplications of a black, bisexual family and community doctor working and conducting research in a public health center and private primary care clinic in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Based on “escrevivências” of four cenas-de-viragem (milestones), the analysis reveals worsening working terms and conditions, the deterioration of certain clinical tools and the strong presence of structural and institutional racism.
