The medical establishment's prescription? Every doctor must be the same race as every patient!
Apparently, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has taken the lead in accelerating progress toward Personalized Health Care.
So we are on the same page, let us use this definition of Personalized Health Care (emphasis in the original):
Personalized health care (PHC) is an overarching framework for care that unifies predictive technologies with an engaged patient to coordinate care with the primary aim of promoting health and preventing disease. PHC focuses on patient-centered health care, personalized health planning (PHP), shared decision-making, and patient engagement. It seeks to remedy spending on chronic care by encouraging healthy behavior and planning.
It looks as if the American College of Surgeons has chosen to advance PHC by suggesting, if not requiring, that to accomplish the above benefits, racial likeness between provider and patient is necessary.
Tucker Carlson interviewed a plastic surgeon from Florida, one Richard Bosshardt. According to the doc:
The ACS leadership went to war against itself. ... It declared the ACS ... to be structurally racist. It also went on to say that surgeons are racists and even the practice of surgery is racist. What this did is, it produced a type of messaging that now states that, as you clearly put, it's best if patients are treated by surgeons of their own race.
Bosshardt, ostensibly, was interviewed because of an op-ed he authored that was published by the WSJ in September of 2022. It is behind a paywall. In it, he wrote:
The American College of Surgeons apparently believes its members are racially biased and provide worse care to patients of color than we do to white patients, leading to disparate health outcomes.

Doesn’t this prove that the left is racist because they want segregation again?
Anti white racism is all that it is.
Any reasoning person could rationally come to that conclusion.
If the most proficient brain surgeon out there is a tattooed freak drag queen, then that’s who I want doing surgery on my brain.
How much of “disparate health outcomes” are due to black culture, not eating healthy, being obese, and not having health insurance?
You forgot drug and alcohol addiction.....not to mention lead poisoning.
Oo-ee, oo-ah-ah, ting-tang, walla-walla bing-bang
I feel sorry for minority physicians who are excellent, because this crap is going to harm them through no fault of their own.
Replace them with lesser qualified black “doctors,” of course!
So ACS thinks that black doctors should have signs in their offices that read “No Whites Allowed”?
This white boy is quite happy with his Chinese doctor, Doctor Chang. I will not change my doctor.
Sounds like my father. He was extremely overweight, smoked like chimney, and was told by his Doctors that he needed to quit smoking and lose weight. So he told me that he was switching Doctors and find a Doctor who chain smoked and was fat.
I avoid all DEI doctors anyways .
I have an idea for people of color, don’t go to any white doctor. That means that if he/she is absolutely the top person to save your life, just reject him and go for picking someone less able but the right color.
No, no, no. According to Oprah, "The quality of health care depends on where you live and the color of your skin."
Watch her "Color of Care" documentary. If you can stomach it.
OTOH,I don't have the first clue how black folks would feel about this.
Maybe you have not heard? East Asian people are “White” to the Race Hustlers.
This is what seems to be “The Plan”:
1. Admit more POC, especially AA, people into medical school under Affirmative Action.
2. Give them As regardless of their ability.
3. License them to practice medicine.
4. Tell them they should only treat people of their own race
5. Express “outrage” when the health outcomes become even more disparate by race
6. Keep repeating until it “works”
what a world the future holds, SMDH
