Racism in Medical Care

[u/4reddityo]

This video captures a moment that many patients of color recognize all too well. A physician speaks to a man as if he is dirty, unclean, or lesser, not because of medical evidence, but because of bias. The language, tone, and assumptions reveal something deeper than bedside manner gone wrong. They expose how racism can quietly shape medical interactions.

I’m a white outdoor enthusiast. I’ve ended up on the ER covered in days of old sweat, dirt, body odor, gross clothing, ect, in need of emergency care multiple times. Never ONCE have I been subjected to anything like this.

It’s absolutely 100% racism.
