a jaw-dropping account of the medical neglect she experienced during a health scare. In an email, Dr. Anderson shared her recent experiences, why it was so important to share her story, and ways that healthcare can improve the experiences of patients from racially marginalized backgrounds.: I saw a heartbreaking post on your Instagram page about your recent experience with a healthcare provider.
My husband, who is an MD, my daughters, and I waited for over an hour for someone to come administer the test and another 30 minutes for the results. My husband called into the facility two to three times asking when someone would be coming to do an assessment because of the pain I was in.
At our insistence, the provider agreed to do a chest x-ray. He told me that he ‘would be happy to hit me with a couple of doses of radiation as long as I wasn't pregnant.’ When checking my oxygen with the pulse oximeter, he stated that sometimes ‘they don't work on colored fingers.’ When I finally entered the facility, he put me in a room and told me that I had to wait until ‘he warmed up the x-ray machine’ and he left me standing in the room unattended.
White people are downtrodden and it must stop.
I read the article. Can someone explain how this has anything to do with her being black? Sounds like malpractice.
