Listen to Dr. Owais Durrani's explanation of how American racism seeps into health care. Some health care facts you should know: People of color are also more likely to live near unclear air or water. As a result, Black Americans are 3x more likely to die from pollution. Living in such conditions drastically transforms health outcomes, contributing to asthma, cancer, and childhood developmental problems. Watch this video to learn about racism within healthcare.

The real problem is the “for profit” healthcare system. There was an old guy recently who was treated for covid. He survived and was given a bill for 1.1 million dollars. Who says you cant put a dollar value on a life.
This video reminded me a lot of a comment made once by a classmate who stated they think it is best not to look at color/race when it comes to taking care of patients. While the idea behind not seeing in color may have good intentions, it is a harmful way of thinking. Color is something that is embedded into our society and other people cannot simply turn that off. While there could be certain conditions/health issues more commonly found in certain races/ethnicities, removing color from the equation dismisses these people’s existence and other struggles they may be going through. If a patient from a specific race is trying to talk about issues he/she is struggling in their community that is dominated by that same race and the doctor diminishes those issues because he/she does not see in color, it can make the patient feel like they aren’t being seen and their specific issues are not being taken care of. The individualized patient-provider experience gets taken away and ends up feeling more like a generic “one size fits all” scenario. You can treat all patients equal while also taking in their background/culture/identity/race/ethnicity. This video did an excellent job of discussing the different health conditions that happen to affect the African-American community more as well as comment on the fact that a lot of these healthcare issues may be a result of socioeconomic reasons as well as biases on the part of the physician leading to poorer quality of care because they believe these communities may not be compliant. Unfortunately, racism does seep into medicine, and I think the first step is to be cognizant of the fact that this is absolutely an issue and that there are different races/people/communities that may suffer more from certain issues and that there could be a multitude of reasons for that. All patients should be treated the same in the end, but no two people are the same and so there is due diligence on the physician’s part to provide individualized care as well.
He's reading from a sign so badly and is doing everything he can for money. Since when does se random middle eastern doc care about racial disparities?
And once again, the only possible explanation is racism. Every issue in the history of the world has an exponential number of causes. From the explosion of a space shuttle to the reason you were late to work. If we don't add some nuance to the argument and acknowledge that racism is just one piece of the puzzle, then we are doomed to solve absolutely nothing...forever!
The truth is economic disparity which of course impacts black people more. But the hyperpoverty nightmare happens across the board. It is so hard to jump out of the trap of poverty.
not true
where are your sources?
This problem is deeply rooted in the UK too which was a surprise to me when I took a post working within the NHS in England.
At the very hospital I was born in its colored hospital(St Phillips) in1953. Got my first job there in 1967 in the cafeteria. Worked part time. My mother worked there as a nurses aid, then as a LPN for 34 years. I myself worked off and on until I retired. But from my first day there until after I retired and resently afterwards when they started waiting on a White before me who had arrived after I got there hours later in (2020) for eye surgery. MCV/VCU HOME OF THE RAMS HAS BEEN FULL OF OUTRIGHT AND SYSTEMIC RACISM. MINE MY MOTHER AND OTHERS HORRIFIC TAILS ARE IN THE THOUSANDS. YES! THERE IS A LOT OF RACISTS WHITES IN HEALTHCARE AT MCV/VCU IN RICHMOND VA. THE(?)FORMER CAPITOL OF THE CONFEDERACY.
What's that dislike to like ratio like ?
Not buying it. I grew up in an urban neighborhood and received better health care as a child than I did as a working adult w/healthcare. Some minority groups are genetically predisposed to certain diseases and health conditions and this video does not touch on that. The biggest problem this county faces is how lobbying has destroyed our health care system overall for all races, creeds and colors across the board. Adding a racial edge between subpar healthcare and minorities is a blatant attempt to divert our attention away from how our own government has failed us by handing our healthcare over to private, for profit entities who could care less about what zip code you live in as long as they take in billions at our expense.
Read this scripted nonsensical sign and you’ll get a paycheck
God help us all awaken from this purgatory, this is unacceptable!
Medical bias. That's what happens a lot. If your doctor isn't caring or looking like you, get another one.
What i thought to myself is why arent there any videos about this when obama was president. As if all the racism was away when obama was their. Hocus Pocus

I knew this dude was lying as soon as he said Asians they do not go threw the sane struggles as Central Americans blacks and Mexicans
Ah yes. The explanation is always racism
Everybody! Please go to Healthy People 2030! They have this but not everyone is really aware!!!!
Some types of diabetes are avoidable and the same is true with heart disease. The risk of cancer can be reduced. These can be done by changing lifestyles.
