I came over to ask you why you would post the video of the older lady physician who stated she thought her treatment would have been different had she been white? You block the possibility of comments; why?. Not only do I think you are "stirring the pot" by posting that remark, you mean to do so - with emphasis. I don't believe that AT ALL. My husband recently fell off a building and went to the ER. The doctor there was arrogant and kept us there taking a great deal of time - and he did take x-rays. He attempted to give my husband Motrin, and my husband just said, "You keep 'em". Later that evening we had to go back. When he tried to go to bed, he couldn't even lay down without pain. We went back to the hospital and another doctor was on duty. He took one look at him, asked him if he was in pain; then the doctor ordered a pain shot for him. Later testing (CT scan) would reveal a torn rotator cuff. My husband is Caucasian. I think the racism card is so over-played. Stop promoting that.
