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.

Crap. Now only Jews and Indians get healthcare?
(I’m kidding... my current doctor is Black.)
I was once told that all black doctors were affirmative action hires. I’m not sure I believe it, but I can’t totally dispute it either. When I search for a new doc, one criteria is that he is a white man. I have also begun to avoid corporate doctors of any race. They cannot go outside of “protocol” and you would get some poison like remdezvir instead of a helpful drug like ivermectin. Find an older, private practice doctor and live longer.
Another thing about the Dims' knew stupid idea that every doctor must be the same race as the patient. Doesn't this mean that black doctors have less access to high income patients?
Grandpa had bacon and eggs everyday and smoked cigars and a pipe all of the time. Killed him at 98.
‘They’ have already done that in TV commercials ...
It’s called Negro fatigue.
Never heard of BillyBob Blythe. Whodat?
Many doctors go through residencies in urban hospitals.
Many people have common ailments that have well-recognized treatment protocols.
I should think that the answer to that would be obvious: Struggle sessions!
Regards,
So, with affirmative action admissions to medical schools and affirmative action driven grading, black folks will get general overall inferior medical treatment.
I fear for my black friends.
And to think that as bad as things are getting, they’re only going to get worse.
Well, isn’t that their fault, if they feel that they want their own treat them because of perceived racism? Like I said they will claim racism because of these kinds of issues, should it become adopted.
Kill them.
He must have found a Doctor who smoked a big ‘ol cigar while he ate his delicious high cholesterol breakfast! Thank God he didn’t ‘health’ himself to death. On a similar vein, I had an uncle who ran 3 miles a day for years and finally had a heart attack at 47. When the paramedics were called to revive him, he argued with them and told them they must be crazy because he was extremely ‘healthy’. He died a few short years later. So my point was that if you want to be ‘served’ by a black doctor because you are black, by all means, do so. Or, if you just want a white Doctor, then likewise, your prejudice (stupidity) might very well kill you. I want to see the advertisements for “Use ME because I am black”...
Funny, I remember when Kanye West's mother Donda, whom he adored, died as a result of surgery by a representative of her own race.

We have a less obvious version of that now: mandatory reeducation sessions with Ashleigh the Lion or someone like her.
“All whites are racist.”
Yeah well my dad grew up in a Japanese concentration camp, where are my reparations?
