A TikTok from a white physician is making people suddenly aware of an issue that's long affected Black patients and doctors.
"A 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents who were studied thought that Black people couldn't feel pain the same way because they had thicker skin or their nerves didn't work the same way," Lincoln says in the TikTok,This disturbing data point is a"holdover from the days of slavery," she continues."Black people used to be operated on without anesthesia, and were used in studies without their consent.
"I think her message is more important for white people. We already know. We're the ones who it happens to," said Shepherd. "It's not just about saying, 'Oh, we know in the African American community their hypertension may present like this,' but 'why?'" said Shepherd."That's when you really dig deep down into not only that it's an issue, but why is it an issue."She also believes insurance companies and hospitals should reassess their policies and biases.
He recalled an incident two months ago where, after working with a white patient who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, she expressed shock after finding out he owned his own practice.
