Its been proven doctors routinely take the complaints of pain and its severity by black patients less seriously than they do of white patients.How deep does the rabbit hole go? You think doctors are in cahoots with it too?
So whether they're knowingly in cahoots is really the question.
Regardless doctors simply don't take black patients as seriously and I'd have to say gauging pain with various ailments matters a lot when it comes to compassionate release. If you don't even believe your patient is in that much pain you have no reason to vigorously advocate for them.
The medical field has its version of systematic racism as well so we just went from racist institution to another.The CR process is spearheaded by medical, not law enforcement.
Not familiar with this "myth" so no but replace organ donor with black and yeah.Somewhat unrelated, but just curious...do you believe the myth that hospital staff won't work as hard to save your life if you are an organ donor?
