[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think you receive different medical care based on what you are wearing? Do you always dress a certain way for medical appointments? [/quote] When my father had cancer, he was definitely judged by the hospital. He was older (93) and black. They assumed he didn't have medical insurance so they were really horrible. I had to really show out! He had very good health insurance and[b] I am a lawyer[/b]. [/quote] Maybe being a lawyer is why they treated him that way, did you tell the people working at the hospital you were a lawyer too? [/quote] OMG, why are white people always trying to deny racism. There is evidence on racial and ethnic disparities in the health care system to support that her father was treated poorly because of his race alone. Additionally, race alone determines the type of care you receive regardless of socioeconomic status.[/quote]
