Not surprised at all. Ppl probably know about this one, but just in case, same with the racial bias: TL;DR: “Black Americans are systematically undertreated for pain relative to white Americans.”

The undertreatment of pain in both cases is falsely represented as doctors perceiving the poor/African-Americans as being more tolerant to pain when it isn’t. They simply have less empathy for these patients so they don’t give a shit about their discomfort.

Hmm, it’s almost like us poors are forced to endure more suffering than the rich.

Shocking stuff.

I mean, some of us probably are. Life is pain, especially when you’re broke.

This also comes in handy when fighting a bone grinding civil war against reactionaries :)

It’s almost like the richer you are, the less empathy you have for people with less money than you. But that can’t be true, look how much money they give to charity!

“well, actually, the ‘eye of the needle’ was a gate near Jerusalem that was just very narrow and all he meant by that was that rich people need to donate some of their stuff so they can fit a slightly less loaded camel through the narrow gate!”

My dad has to show up to my mom’s doctor’s appointments to get them to take her seriously. It’s so fucking stupid. Sexism and racism in the medical profession is rampant.

My best friend just got diagnosed with Krohn’s last year after like 5 years of begging her doctor to check for it and him refusing. It’s amazing how little women get supported.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).
