Damaged white people getting triggered by the fact (it IS a fact, been proven over & over) that black patients generally receive unfair and/or subpar medical treatment in the USA. I'm white and I know this is true. Please think about what inside you feels so threatened, so scared, to know this basic fact- so scared that you have to try to deny it and make up stories about 'libs' to console yourself.
There is something inside you that's hurting, that's not right. It shouldn't scare you to think that maybe medical staff should treat black patients a little better than they are currently doing.


Tana Valine It’s literally a Fact if seen many doctors do this to my wife until I go with her to her follow up or speak to the doctor with her! It’s not BS…. Theirs literally entire Support Groups for this very Issue that Doctors and PA’s and RN’s donate time to!! The fact that 2 of my Doctors 1 Cuban the other African American have both told me Finding a Doctor who will give them the right care because of their Race was very vary hard before they became Doctors was insane….. just by you saying what you just said proves you don’t GAF and Denied the actual issue!


Heather Michalski Kame thank y thou Im sick of their bull chit I lived in a southern state and know what the drill was. No patient was refused care. My employees were interesting some were good others cheated the system as much as a they could. One AF flight Nurse falsified his travel time. one said she was bitten by a snake in downtown Atlanta, one pharmacist (we traveled as part of the job) when she got her assignment she threw herself on the floor screaming (I cant do this no mo) like that was her usual way of speaking as an educated person


The Rational Progressive Yeah my post was a little insensitive and I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the black community and their culture to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, as an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.


It’s True! I’ve Seen it happen to my wife many times! She never gets the correct medical care/ Treatment unless I’m there or Chime in! It’s disgusting! Mutiple doctors refused to Remove my wife’s tonsils over the course of YEARS before we started dating… they were so Large she couldn’t eat anything but soft foods…. I went in they said “More antibiotics and Steroids” I said “Look at them she can’t swallow or eat Chicken or steak and salads are painful to eat… take her tonsils out!” He said “Oh well she Never told us that”! I said “yea she did because I was in the waiting room last time and heard her cry after you refused to take them out and gave steroids and antibiotics”…… she got them removed…. She Broke her ankle on 2 separate occasions… the doctors basically called her a liar and Gave her Ibuprofen… they X Ray her Ankle and it was Definitely Broken…. They gave her a Brace and refused to give her anything other then Ibuprofen…I said that hinders Bone Growth after a Break…. They said no that’s no longer true due to recent studies…. I said it is true that the Study was for Children NOT adults….. showed the study…. They gave her more appropriate meds…. I refuse to this day to allow my wife to see any doctor without me present!!! I’ve watched my wife suffer in pain in a Hospital until I got there and went off!! It’s Disgusting!! I do the Same for my children!!
