[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a known problem with bias that doctors and nurses believe that black people’s skin is literally thicker and that their pain tolerance is higher. It is a small silver lining that decades of neglect and malpractice treating people of color can result in less opiod addiction. [/quote] https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.virginia.edu/content/study-links-disparities-pain-management-racial-bias%3famp[/quote] As an African American doctor and a parent, I would prefer that people examine whether whites are being over treated rather than blacks being under-treated. When my son had his hernia repair I grabbed him out of that hospital ASAP, then threw away the narcotic prescription. He got tylenol and sofa time. This article is scary, it sounds like medical personnel are gearing up to get blacks messed up too. BTW, opiate addiction is growing in the black and Hispanic communities too. [/quote]
