[@ahmeg.]

Wow, he act in supergirl too

How can they hear you but don't listen to you?

평등이라는 단어가 이루어지기 위해서는 정말로 많은 노력이 필요한 것 같습니다. 사람들은 건강이 최우선이라고 말들을 하지만 이런 건강에서 불평등이 이루어진다는 말씀이 와닿습니다. 건강 평등의 사각지대에 모든 사람들이 하루 빨리 건강의 평등을 다시 되찾았으면 합니다.

Brave man. He just said that he's 55 years old and just become aware this is an issue. Being as he is black, you would think he would have known sooner - or so I thought. But if it's not discussed, how would he know? How would anyone know? I suggest a new vocabulary. Telling a doctor that you are in pain or uncomfortable will get you nothing. That's what every woman tells him when she is in her first labor. So we need a new vocabulary. It's all obvious up to then, but I don't know what vocabulary will get them to think differently. They expect certain things from women in labor - so when it is your first labor - what can you say to make them treat you differently?

That Doctor who said that "black women's uterus are different than a white womens....needs to be striped. That is malpractice. I'm appalled by that man's behaviour and he needs to psychologically evaluated as medical professional.

I wish all were the same 😭

[@dibbla]

Justice for Emily Jones NOW!!!

[@solangeabreu100]

Oh he’s the guy from supergirl.

[@rescyn1190]

I managed to stomach the whole show... it's essentially Harewood having scientists telling him all the actual reasons and him going 'but muh racism' in response.

[@owain7407]

Is the BBC calling pregnancy racist

[@oluwasolamipeajayi5513]

What did we do? Because my skin is dark?

[@ahmedhelmy6280]

😭😭😥😥😥

[@swastiknandi8095]

This is not okie dokie

[@samip5734]

The medical professionals don’t listen no matter what colour. They seem to go on what they have heard in the past from patients and think it is the same, without actually listening. to the person. This has bugged me for a long, long time. They need to spend a little bit of time actively listening to all patients

[@keneththomas4518]

Ain’t he super girl

[@paulgray1318]

Yes it is an issue that needs looking at but to label it as inequality paints a perspective that there is some racial issue going on! How can that be so clear-cut when you do not know why this is the case?

[@sebastiancanjala]

Justice for Sarah Everard noww🙏🙏🙏

[@javierverdullo6414]
