Serena Williams Is Calling Out Racism in Health Care

march 8 2018 Serena Williams is urging black women to “get feisty” to protect themselves from any ills they may face in the American health care system.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, black women are three to four times more likely to die during childbirth than are white women. In some places like New York, they can be up to 12 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, according to ProPublica. Beyond the specific experience of childbirth, Serena said doctors aren't listening to black women, and she says that needs to change.

“Doctors aren’t listening to us, just to be quite frank,” Serena recently told the BBC. “We’re dying, three times more likely. And knowing that going in, some doctors not caring as much for us, it’s heartbreaking.”

According to Harvard Health, black people and other minority groups in the U.S. consistently have worse health outcomes than white people, including premature death. This may be attributed, according to an article in The New England Journal of Medicine, to subconscious bias.

Blacks pay taxes fuckhead. And for most of the 20th century, we paid taxes while whites benefitted. And Serena is right.

Why didn't Williams explain the causes?
Are all of the doctors white?
She doesn't make any sense.
BTW NY is about as far left as it gets.

No you don't make sense.

Unfortunately, calling people "racist" is getting so common, it's become cliché and meaningless.
`

You need to begin wondering why it's so common? Aside from whites calling non whites racists for pointing out the continuing racism of whites, you fool yourself if you think it's meaningless.
 
“Racism in Healthcare: Its Relationship to Shared Decision-Making and Health Disparities: a response to Bradby”

Is there evidence for racism in the current U.S. healthcare system?
Indeed, there is evidence that racism exists within the U.S. healthcare system (institutional racism) and among healthcare providers (personally-mediated racism). The IOM report Unequal Treatment reviewed the disparities literature and concluded that an important contributor to racial disparities in health status is the difference in the quality of medical care given to racial/ethnic minorities (Smedley et al., 2002). For example, among diabetes patients, African-Americans are less likely to receive influenza vaccinations, have glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) testing or cholesterol testing (Peek, Cargill, & Huang, 2007).

Healthcare providers may harbor racial biases (personally mediated racism), and may be at increased risk of using stereotypes as cognitive short-cuts because of clinical encounter characteristics (time pressure, high cognitive demand, limited resources and uncertainty) (Hamilton, 1981). There is evidence that physicians hold stereotypes based on patient characteristics (e.g. race), which may influence their interpretation of patient behaviors and symptoms, and consequently their clinical decisions (Finucane & Carrese, 1990; Burgess, van Ryn, Dovidio, & Saha, 2007). For example, one study found that physicians were more likely, after controlling for confounding variables, to rate their African-American patients as less educated, less intelligent, more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, and less likely to adhere to treatment regimens (van Ryn & Burke, 2000). Green, Carney, Pallin, Ngo, Raymond, Iezzoni, & Banaji (2007) documented the association between implicit physician bias and racial disparities in treatment recommendations for acute myocardial infarctions.

Most blacks ARE NOT on Medicaid. Such an outright lie negates everything else you have to say,

I know for a fact that doctors do not take the illnesses of the elderly seriously. I've been there and dealt with that when my parents were very elderly. I doesn't surprise me at all that they also don't take the problems of black patients seriously.

What Serena says is "Doctors aren’t listening to us, just to be quite frank." That's exactly what they do to the elderly. So it is absolutely no surprise they do that to other minorities.

Maybe, im not sure. I know that they are like 14% of the population and account for 20% of medicaid rolls.
 
The maternal death rate has been increasing since the 80s.
Seems the most likely cause of it is lack of prenatal nutrition, obesity, c sections and hypertension related disorders.
Crazy
 
In February, Vogue published a cover story featuring Williams in which she described a hospital stay after giving birth to her daughter Alexis Olympia by emergency C-section. Williams, who has a long medical history with blood clots but had gone without her usual daily medication while giving birth, feared she was developing a pulmonary embolism — blood clots that block the lungs. A nurses dismissed her initial request for a CT scan; when she did get scans, they showed that her lungs did indeed have clots. Had they not been caught, she could have died. Her account prompted other black women to share stories of being dismissed and neglected by doctors, though she said her doctors was great.

Notice how she told the nurse for a CT scan not her doctor???

My third wife was having a baby and in the pre delivery room she told the doc that the kid was breached and not in the delivery position, he swore up and down that the baby was ok but my wife is a supreme hard head and insisted that a scan be given to see..Well he finally gave in and she had the scan, then a C-section because the kid was not in the right position to move out..

So is this considered racist since my wife had to argue with a doctor about her own baby and body? No, Just like Serenas experience is not a racist act...Stupid shit....

Do all blacks have a massive chip on their shoulder like you, or are the others clued into reality?
 
I've linked before how blacks are over represented in great/quality/etc jobs
and, with their graduating at lower levels, they have it really good
they are over represented in government jobs with great healthcare
