Medical school apologizes for ‘I can’t breathe’ question on cardiovascular quiz: ‘insensitive and upsetting’

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:

The Babylon Bee, much like The Onion before it, will run out of material scooped by actual events.

I believe the politically correct version is:

“I am white so I deserve to die.”

I would say the left has pretty well succeeded in its primary goal, to turn Whitey into groveling, self-loathing worms. Secondary goal is to eliminate the worms.

Proper spelling is white privileged, heteropaternalistic, colonialism.

Never mind the medical field; this whole nonsense is showing many people can’t assimilate at all - that’s it.

True. Assimilation is not the goal of blm. Dominance is.

More like perpetual dependence with no expectations; they can make politicians dance, but nothing is improving for them - they’re being eliminated in all walks of life (both good and bad) by more docile foreign replacements.

In many cases of natural death one’s last words are not I love you. They are I can’t breathe as the lungs shut down. Awfully narcissistic to think that a certain sector now appropriates the phrase as sacred ground for the miniscule few criminals who die in a chokehold. When medical schools are now prohibited from citing the most common complaint when one is dying and teaching med students how to handle it, we are in some serious trouble.

Say it a little more slowly and in a slightly different tone of voice, and you’ve taken the first step towards becoming a good ol’ boy: a necessity for survival from now on for men and women.

You are travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!
