Racist Health Care? Where Im From In Queens Ny, Poor Provision Of Health Care Is Very Prevalent. ?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I came across this article. Do you feel that this could be a case of racism in the health care industry? Can you relate to this? Let me know how you feel about this unethical issue.
“[Racism remains a] prime cause of the unequal and racially discriminatory provision of funds for health services; of the over-crowding of the ill- equipped black hospitals and the underutilization of white hospitals; of miserable housing, gross pollution, poor sanitation, and lack of health care . . . . [Racism] in consequence, is the underlying structure causing the dreadful burden of excess morbidity and mortality, much of it preventable, that is borne by the black population. These health-specific effects are superimposed on the more general consequences of [racism] which bars the majority of [African-american] citizens from participating in decisions on the allocation of resources for health or other needs. We believe that the . . . [American] health care system is, in consequence, fundamentally flawed. Fragmentation and duplication of services . . . . is costly and inefficient. . . . For the majority of the black population, the whole spectrum of health services (but most urgently, primary care) is inadequate. Entire generations suffer through much of their life-times. . . . Even if. . . [racism] ended tomorrow, their effects on health would persist for [generations], in part because of the health consequences of the profound poverty . . . that [racism] itself has engendered and in part because widespread attitudes that encourage racism, elitism, sexism, a colonialist mentality, and prejudice against the poor take time and commitment to change. . . Clearly, . . . [America] has the ability to reduce markedly, if not eliminate, the serious health problems that exist among the black population. It can, if it chooses, eliminate the institutionalized system of racism and discrimination that have made the country, for decades, a symbol of human rights violations. The task facing. . . [us] is to continue to extend the process that [civil rights reforms] have begun, until profound and lasting improvements in health care . . . are a reality.” Elena Nightingale, et al., Apartheid Medicine: Health and Human Rights in South Africa, 264 J.A.M.A. 2097, 2102 (1990). This quote is taken from an article about South Africa with merely name changes from South Africa to the U.S. and Apartheid to Racism, it is equally true about the United States of America.

Why Do A&e Staff Wear Blue Scrubs Different From The Rest Of The Hospital Staff?

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Working in A&E you are more likely to splashed and stained with bodily fluids than anywhere else in the hospital due to the nature of the work. Scrubs are washed and supplied in the hospital so there is always a large supply to get changed into rather than having to take several uniforms to work with you which are washed at home. Most people wouldnt want to put uniforms covered in blood in their own washing machine.

Can You Get Expelled From Emory Nursing School For Failing One Class?

Monday, December 28th, 2009

My sister told me that she has gotten kicked out of the Emory nursing program for failing one class. That seems ridiculously harsh to me. I tried to look on their website for answers but couldn’t find it. Maybe she is hiding something from us (her family) or Emory is just cold-hearted.
