Written long ago but ‘resulted in a very painful trigger for many of you’ Before “I can’t breathe” became the rallying cry of the Black Lives Matter movement, the phrase was simply a direct way for patients to tell medical personnel that they couldn’t breathe. Medical patients may want to find a new way to convey their pulmonary distress, lest they be accused of triggering someone. The Indiana University School of Medicine apologized to students for a question on a cardiovascular exam that included the phrase “I can’t breath[e],” according to screenshots of the question (above) and message to seniors in “All Sections” (below) that were forwarded to The College Fix. The question reads:

Saying “I can’t breathe” is cultural appropriation.
The correct phrase for a White person to use is: “My pulmonary distress has reached a point of crisis”.
they didnt even spell it right on an official exam question
Then those candidates shouldn’t be in the medical field.
i cant think of a thing that a person who is in a panic and cant breathe is realistically going to say
of course it is I cant breathe...if they can even get those words out
Maybe should be changed to “I’m being oppressed!”
Perhaps they can make a list of all the phrases that are not racist.
As Orwell said, some ideas are so incredibly idiotic, that only an academic would believe them.
This “I Can’t Breathe” is a case study into the madness they call academia.
Yeah. The future looks real bright...
“”””””””Maybe should be changed to “I’m being oppressed!”””””
I’m dying of a heroin and meth overdose,honky.
I guess now you just point? Play charades? Ok. 3 words.. 1st word is...I? 2 word...can’t? 3rd word...Starts with b...bite? Blow? Bend over?
Because a medical patient will NEVER say that.
This is what communism and socialism is all about.
The abandonment of logic, science and reason for feelz.
How many ways can you say, “Liberalism is a mental disorder”?
I wish leftists and their many “activist” groups would apologize to ME for making me loathe them more every day.
This is effing stupid.
Lol.... Whites always get more than blacks. Selfish damn whites.
Dr. Daniel Corson-Knowles does not post his email address, but you can write to the Indiana University School of Medicine to tell them what you think. iusm@iu.edu
I am writing to them to say that I really appreciate Dr. Corson-Knowles’ concern about micro aggressions and that, as a possible future patient, I have rigourlys trained myself to respond appropriately. When I suddenly become pale and diaphoretic, I will scream “I am in serious pulmonary distress!”
The stupidity becomes even more stupid. There is no end.
