We are so excited to have Daveed Diggs do a special sign off for us, check it out and more in the full episode: pck.tv/3pOiao8

[@shellyjustice7227]

I love Daveed Diggs!! 💘! And I love Amber Ruffin because she teaches me all about CRT!! THANK YOU AMBER RUFFIN AND CREW!! XOXO

[@riquisimx]

Amber? Is that you? Y'all should have a KZbin live wherein you have a Q&A with us. That would be awesome. I would be all about it. 🙌🏼

[@darylljackson6515]

Absolutely!

[@MrQueerDuck]

Holy moly! In nursing school I'd read that many commonly used "normal" ranges in medicine are based on white men and were created long ago. I didn't know about most of these race based adjustments. I'm sending this video to my former professors!

[@Afrimusican]

Let us know their responses.

If you feel like checking it out, last week tonight did an episode on medicine bias a while back that was also very informative.

[@amberx1863]

I felt like I couldn’t breathe watching this. I knew hospitals were less safe for POC but I had no idea it went this much further beyond biased subjectivity and is deeply ingrained in decision making algorithms

[@KyleRayner12]

I'm in med school, and we were actually taking renal when the GFR race correction was removed. Only about half of our professors knew about it, and *they* pointed it out. The other half, though? Eh...

[@kimberlyw6940]

Victim of the c-section VBAC theory. I was told that I needed the c-section to protect my baby and that once I had one, a VBAC would be too risky. I switched docs for my second baby and had a successful VBAC.

[@fatimalobi6382]

VBAC is a money making business for Doctors. Why does a Doctor advise you to have a C-section when you can have a normal birth.

[@kevinmonk9491]

Also doctors get a $10, 000 kickback for each c- section performed

[@michaelbrown7148]

This is like going to school, Amber you so informative. We'll never learn this in school. This is the kind of history and atrocities that this country is hellbent on not teaching in school

[@deborahtate3756]

Some many Americans don't what the truth to be taught, because it may "offend" some people. Lets keep Americans ignored.

[@lisageiszler2332]

The denial is deep here.

This is why I fought so many airline people to make sure I got to the Amber Ruffin show taping. This is why I HAD to see Amber. We need more of her.

[@AsterInDis]

Heartbreaking indeed.

[@lnt305]

Hi! I did my master thesis on reducing discrimination in algorithms (though my example was discrimination by gender in granting loans because that was the dataset I had access to) and it's actually really tough to do an algorithm with zero discrimination even with the best intentions. This is because they usually learn from human decision making in the past, including all the bias. But improvements can certainly be made and all in all, I do believe algorithms will play a large role in reducing discrimination in healthcare and other areas

[@SuperReader1]

Another brilliant lesson to which we all need to pay attention. Thank you and your whole team.

[@kevinbwillson4161]

So sad but so true Amber we need you and others to keep pointing out these sad facts.

[@cameronparham5067]

I follow your KZbin channel and love it. On a note of slight hope, I went to medical school in North Carolina in the mid 1980s and I was never taught lung capacity was racially linked. Regardless, part of why I watch your show is that it's funny and insightful. And part of why I watch it is to raise my awareness. I am thankful to you and your team.

[@_B525]

So did they just not teach it or did they phase out the old practices..... I talked to my obgyn about it since I had an appointment the day I saw this and she said its not taught that way but its still practiced like this

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

Thank you Amber (and Michael Harriot!!). I love that you keep educating people about the thousands of ways we are treated in this country. Praying it leads to change. 🙌🏼

[@kellyebageon]

Thank you Amber for what you do! This is so important. So sad it has to be done in comedy instead of a serious conversation about racism in so called science and health care.

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Around 3mins in I was reconsidering my former stance on how psychiatry or ob-gyn had the most horrifying history of all the medical practice branches. I guess the correct answer is "all of them".

I realise this was delivered with levity but this is actually pretty damning stuff. Since there's truth to these claims, they ought to be investigated with a view to correcting the system. The fact that this is just allowed to continue is wild.

Lol I know this is shocking but doctors are actually taught this stuff in med school. Or at least in Canada we were (700 years ago when I was a student). My own school was complicit in some really terrible stuff (see MK-ULTRA/McGill/Allen Institute) but it was owned by the school. I can think of a buncha buncha obstetricians (gynechiatrists) who would gladly offer a perspective on the VBAC issue.
