Ludicrous.
And per a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, there is indeed an unconscious bias amongst health professionals, as they “were less likely to refer women and black patients for cardiac catheterizations, compared with white male patients.”
So, statistically there is no difference in the risk of white males, women, and black men?
Some people will yell “racist!” If they look at the moon,
I’m sick and tired of wealthy or celebrity blacks still trying to “keep it real.” To me, it’s another way of pulling the rug out from other blacks who want to be rich and famous too.
But she knows everyone else is treated like a slave because
Well she knows
>>The nurses, however, dismissed her initial CT scan request and performed an ultrasound instead.
What color were these nurses.
When my mom, dad, and brother have gone into hospitalization, their nurses were mostly black women.
And I’ve found the quality of medical care to be in serious decline. Third world doctors with no bedside manner.
And my parents both suffered life threatening complications from being taken off meds or otherwise affected while they were hospitalized for a different condition (like heart surgery).
To a hammer every thing is a nail.
Patients requesting what kind of imaging exams they want or think they need?
Not to mention calling racism or whatever if they don't get their way.
Then there's this:
The nurses, however, dismissed her initial CT scan request and performed an ultrasound instead.
Nurses are in charge of what imaging exams are on tap? What kind of hospital did our disadvantaged star go to anyway?
Ummmmmm.......ok.
no, the nurses passed on the request to her attending doctor, who ordered the ultrasound, which was performed not by a nurse, but by a registered ultrasound technician. Serena needs to address her 'wonderful wonderful doctor', and get off the backs of the people who do the real work - that she is apparently racist towards.
[Williams also said it may be time for black women to “get feisty,”]
Is that a step back from beating the hell out of each other?
What nonsense.
People are misdiagnosed everyday and it’s not limited to blacks.
I wonder what type of healthcare this spoiled walrus would get in Tanzania or Botswana?
They’d be lucky to have water buckets brought to the tent she’d be forced to squat in during delivery I bet.
So she attributes the CT not being ordered because she is black? On what evidence?!
What a racist privileged nitwit.
And her baby daddy is a billionaire.
I seriously doubt the hospital was intentionally blowing her off. A Monday morning QB would say the initial testing was not aggressive enough, even so, WTF would her race have to do with it.
Serena thinks white people get great healthcare because, why? Because they’re white. I can assure her white people get just as lousy healthcare as she got, even worse. She might want to put some blame on the previous President.
She’s a real rocket scientist, this one. /s
“The risk of pregnancy-related deaths for black women is 3 to 4 times higher than those of white women...”
So this is supposedly a systemic health care problem? I have some theories - what are yours?
LMAO and ROTF
“Speaking to BBC”
If she had been treated under the NHS of England, she could be dead by now....
Pot, meet kettle.
Exactly what I was thinking
