Racism in medical treatment

The result I chose for the library appointee was racial discrimination in medical give-and-take. I felt that this topic comes up in the novel, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Slot twofold times and also relates to the theme voice which is what we have been focusing on in our First-Year Experience class. Even though the time of racism is over, there are still acts of discrimination in the field of medicine.Many actors and crimson more, patients, have been treated unfairly based on their race. Patients have been misdiagnosed or given a false diagnosis in order for the doctors to nurse money off of them because the doctor could care less about their health. disparity also causes the patients to act differently because of their race. This relates to the theme, voice because some nation who are discriminated against are unable to properly defend themselves leaving them without a voice Just like HenriettaLacks. This topic is interesting to me because before I read this book I didnt give any of this much thought. I didnt think that doctors, peck that are there to help us, would discriminate against people and treat them differently. It made me want to do more research and uplift how many people have gone through things like this. 1 . What evidence can we find that shows acts of racism In the book? 2. What distant evidence is there of racial discrimination In medical treatment 3.
