They also are prone to go to the ER for a skinned knee.

The devil is in the details.

I have to wonder if they are using the Obamacare parameters for “kids” and are counting 26 year old black males with a painkiller addiction????

I wouldn’t put statistics manipulations past these a-holes on the left based off what they do with temperature station data...

Are both black and white children on company insurance? Are they just talking about medicaid? Are they trying to equate inner city clinics with Mt. Sinai?

What are the parameters?

You would need to look at what kinds of procedures are involved

IF ANY of it’s true ( remember you quoted the US mainstream media here, so also consider their BS agenda) I would posit with great confidence -It’s ALL Medicaid - reimbursement related.

"Black patients with moderate pain were less likely to receive any analgesia, and black patients with severe pain were less likely to be treated with opioids,"

The DEA has most doctors scared to death to prescribe Opiates.

And the recent articles showing the feds spying on patient records looking for pill mills is going to make them really cautious about prescribing opiates.

Now we will have pain medication rationing. All of this crap emirates from the pro-Muslim, communist, black racist in the White House.

Pain meds for my recent hospital stay for gallstones and surgery was based on my request. I usually turned them down. My pain tolerance is different than others.

Several factors, says ER nurse wife:

1. Blacks are statistically uninsured or under insured and will ask for pain meds less often.

2. Blacks are more likely to be intimidated by the medical environment and less likely to say to a nurse, "Hey, my kid hurts. How about some drugs over here."

3. The white/black ratio among nurses (who advocate for the patient) is fairly even, leaning towards blacks in many parts of the country, so even if a white doc is discriminating by not writing for a black patient, the nurse can go to him and say, "Hey, my patient is in a lot of pain - can we get something for them?"

4. As a rule, kids (all kids) are undermedicated in the US.

Everything and everyone in the USA is racist. Nothing escapes this. Babies, dogs, doctors included. Of course blacks, ROP’ers and transsexuals are exempt. Do you feel more White Guilt now? neither do I.

You have got to be kidding me. You can’t compare this sort of thing based on race.

It is wise to wait for further information before you commit to belief of any news article

“Troubling as this is?” WTF* is this guy talking about? Everybody know that blacks can take pain better than whites.
Why waste pain meds on those who don't need it?

*Why The Face?
