I’m not sure if you’re being genuine or not; your last sentence makes me lean towards racist, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Ha, that’s mighty big of you? 🤔. The necessary? into to your comment says “I read something you said and assume you’re a racist, but I’m not sure based on four short sentences.” I’m guessing you inferred the people I was talking about treating medical staff like shit were all non-whites “like me”?
It’s not that I don’t understand how easy it is to assume or infer things from internet conversations, but would you consider questions help more than statements?
Yes, I was genuinely asking.
It’s very hard to trust any “studies” anymore since with enough money, I feel like you could fund a study to say anything, and get other institutions to back it for the greater good/bad. Does that mean I don’t believe in discrimination or bias, no. That’s why I’d like to get first hand accounts also, knowing there’s less credibility of random lemmy users, it’s still something.
One of comments I read pointed out the study only included patients with insurance. If a significant contributor to quality of care has to do with income, I would want to believe that insurance would reduce that, since the organization is getting paid. I don’t know the back end details of different carriers and what they pay, and whether that would effect the actual care providers. I wouldn’t think a nurse gives a crap how much the patient’s insurance would or wouldn’t cover.
I’ve had pain meds withheld, and I’m the perfect white male that should get everything. I might have assumed care providers tend to think addiction issues with other people more than others.
My profession has come a long way. Someone with fucked up points of view on race joined my team a while ago. They got sorted out real fast. I saw and experienced that those ideas wouldn’t be tolerated at all. Instantly shutdown.
