Race had nothing to do with it. I know from first hand experience this happens to white people too.

Bingo. I’ve been in the ER screaming at staff to help and to take a loved one’s illness seriously and been blown off. My son almost died from this attitude. So did my mother. I had to threaten a lawsuit and actually call a lawyer from the ER to save my mother from a thyoid storm.
Before I had my health insurance, I had gall bladder disease. I would have horrible attacks, for which the hospital would give me a prescription and not much else. I wanted surgery to get the gall bladder removed, but each time, I would just get the prescription and the boot. 24 hours after my insurance kicked in, I had another attack and it was finally bad enough to get surgery. Never had another problem with it.
