[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So ... are non-white women just assumed to be stupid and not know anything about their bodies or medical histories? [/quote] Non-black nurses and doctors often have latent prejudices towards black patients, especially when it comes to pain tolerance, prescription of pain killers, and lack of concern for fears/discomfort expressed by black patients. It's massive issue in hospital in America. Serena Williams is the most successful American athlete alive (man or woman) and worth 9-figures, but still her nurses still wouldn't listen to her. I wonder why?[/quote] I won't disagree with this. But here on DCUM there are threads of rich white women not getting listened to or help either. This problem isn't just prejudice. There's something wrong with postpartum care in America.[/quote]
