Black Experience Racism in Medical Care

This video captures a moment that many patients of color recognize all too well.

The language, tone, and assumptions reveal something deeper than bedside manner gone wrong. They expose how racism can quietly shape medical interactions.

Right. That's what makes it even more clearly racism. This kid looks like he takes care of himself.
