- Only about 5% of doctors are African American. A neurosurgeon in training shows Adriana Diaz how difficult it can be for doctors of color to overcome barriers and how diversity can help improve care.
I'm a healthcare professional and I had to work twice as hard as my white counterparts in school to even make it through my program. And I wont even begin to describe the inequalities that exists on the employment front. There are definitely racial inequalities and disparities that exists in our healthcare system as well as in our education system. It's sad if you ask me, because if it was a level playing field, I would guarantee you that there would be much more blacks practicing in the health professions, and we would have been able to accomplish so much more as a nation. No wonder our health sector in America is suffering as compared to other nations. There isnt enough diversity which lacks varying perspectives.
I see you!! Thank you for not giving up. You are an inspiration!!
Glad he kept at it regarding residency. Like the little engine, I think I can turns into I knew I could♡
I just watched Oppenheimer and I came away from it with some sadness because I don’t think we are capable of producing such brilliants minds as we did back 80-100 years ago when there were so many ground breaking advancements and discoveries in science, technology, medicine. Today we are handing out PhD’s like candy and eveyone is a self proclaimed expert. We saw with the pandemic nearly every single expert were so wrong about almost everything. There are no experts left in society anymore. The ability to think and reason logically is a lost skill, plus the ones who show signs of brilliance are suppressed or discriminated against as schools did with Asians admittance to universities.
Instead of saying "diversity", just say "black and Latino". Your consistent erasure of Asian professionals in not going unnoticed.
Shhh they dont want to say that Asians and Middle easterners are more likely to be Doctors
@@johnsmith6974 Back in the early-mid 90s, as an undergrad, worked at the campus hospital of a major research university. OBGYN dept - I'd say over half the faculty were not born in the US - Middle East, South Asia, Latin America. Even some of the "white" doctors were European - one was from Germany, the other from Lithuania.
Looks like a doctor that can be trusted, no sense of entitlement with this guy. One doctor has lived from the street, up, while most of his counterparts still have their mamas make their beds. Which one would you choose to get things right for you?
I pick the most qualified, I dont care about their life story
That has less to do with inequality and more to do with culture. Ask yourselves why there are so few black students studying the hard physical sciences and so many that study the humanities and social sciences instead?
Inequality is addressed by resources (money). The culture has very little to do with it. There are definitely free resources available nowadays, but many times you need those one-to-one or small group sessions to assist with achieving 90% or better on the material.
@@HP-rp5nn Think again. What resources are free, exactly? Just take a look at other countries. The USA is a diverse nation and yet we lag behind other countries in mathematics and physical sciences. The countries that rank highest in this are in Europe and Asia.
Come on even in hospital there's a racist too come on America wake up
The light switch is racist to
That was done with the VA and look what happened.... You can't even get somebody to answer the phone.... Hiring based on skin color and victim status is a bad idea... I want somebody helping me with skill not the right skin color
Definitely not hiring based on skin color. Do you realize how many doctors get residency based on a political connection?
SEGREGATION PRIVATE HEALTH CARE
How is someone's personal choice, racism by others? Not as many black people go to school to become doctors. That doesn't make medicine racist...that is personal choices. WTF
Look behind the reasoning, it’s usually very solemnly due to culture instead because of inequality and disparity embedded in the healthcare system. Even statistics show it. Don’t be dense, these problems are visible within the naked eye.
