Black lives should matter to health professionals too: [dailykos.com]
It just hurts your heart to keep reading this shit.
This is more about poor people without insurance and the state of US healthcare than racism.
Not necessarily. A few weeks ago a black, female, doctor, died of covid after being discharged from one hospital and re-admitted to a second. She made a video of her mistreatment a few days before her death.
I've been discriminated against in an ER because of being transgender. I nearly died because the male nurse was so transphobic he wouldn't treat me leaving me lying in a bed toxic because of a botched orchiectomy with a temp of 104f. No tylenol no nothing for four hours.
@freeofgod I’m talking about the specific incident here. Not all incidents are racist. Did they shout racist epithets or make racist statements? I didn’t see that in this case.
My eldest has medical issues and would frequently show up in the ER after a seizure. He also has social, and emotional issues so would present like a homeless bum. I’d usually arrive to see him huddled in a corner, unattended. If I didn’t advocate for him, start waving his insurance card around and yell if I had to, he didn’t get adequate care and he was a white boy.
Everything is not racism, sometimes it’s classism, or other bias, sometimes just plain incompetence or understaffing.
The only good thing about dying this way instead of being shot by racist cops is that they can sue the hospital for failure to provide appropriate care whereas cops almost always get away with murder when the murder victim is black.
