Take away federal funding. Wouldn’t want to go to a racist hospital anyway. They would probably try to kill Whitey

Thought Triage took first place. Hmmm Heart Attack over a Gun Shot wound to the arm or leg? Both happen to Blacks more often than Whites.

Even in Racist Memphis a Cop is seen first at Elvis Presley Trauma Center. Children go to Le Bonheur Children Hospital. Both are top notch. The Trauma Center and Nic U are # 1, The only public hospital The Regional Medical Center aka The Med, ER is the Illegal Aliens doctor’s office. Rest of hospital has high infection rates, Bad care. Even a private hospital will stabilize and transfer to The Med those without insurance.

Unique as the hospitals serve West TN, AR, AND MS, for several counties around. AR, MS Medicaid slow to pay The Med.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital told the Washington Examiner in a statement that the article is an "opinion piece written by two physicians, not a formal position of the hospital."

“I just can’t trust the well-being of my family to someone who only made it because of the color of his/her skin, and not because of ability.”

Unfortunately whites are already discriminated against by some care givers of color in hospitals and nursing homes. An elderly relative was hospitalized in a major medical center. The relative fell during the night trying to go to the bathroom. The relative was found in the morning when the shift change occurred. I spoke to the supervising nurse during the day shift. Her advice was to hire a sitter. Instead I spent the next night and walked the floor several times during the night. Instead of doing rounds the nurses spent the night in their break room or at the central nurses station chatting. Once during the night when my relative needed assistance going to the restroom, I ran the call button. No one came. After waiting 10 minutes I went out to the nurses station where three were sitting chatting. I asked for assistance and was told “I be there in a minute.” After waiting in the room another 10 minutes I went back out to the station where they were still hanging out talking. This time one of the came back with me demonstrating extreme “attitude”.

The next day I spoke both with the doctor overseeing my relative’s care and with the nursing director for the hospital. Both expressed “concern” but were clearly being patronizing. They clearly didn’t want to hear what I was saying and I could tell there there would be no action taken. I continued to stay overnight in the room for a week until the patient was released. At night the situation remained the same, no visitation in patient rooms. I never saw any evidence of anyone in the hospital administration walking through to verify work was being performed. The night nurses did not making rounds, not even to take patient vitals.

Subsequently, I have stayed overnight with patients in hospitals and skilled nursing centers. The experience was similar both with respect to the overnight attendants and with management.

Today there is no way I would stay in the hospital overnight, or allow a member of my family to stay overnight, without someone I trust in the room.

If you follow this line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, the end result will be white babies dropped into a 55-gallon barrel of water after birth.

I can relate to everything you posted. But the WORST of what I saw was in the VA hospital in No Miami.
The complete tolerance of laziness in the staff is unforgivable.
