“Say Her Name: Dr. Susan Moore.” Black Female Doctors Condemn Racial Disparities in Healthcare
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- When Black doctor Susan Moore died from COVID-19 after posting a video from her hospital bed describing racist treatment by medical staff, her chilling message was compared to the video of George Floyd begging for his life as he was killed by Minneapolis police. We speak to two leading Black women doctors fighting racial disparities in healthcare who wrote The Washington Post opinion piece, “Say her name: Dr. Susan Moore.” “It is a typical and ongoing devaluation of our lives and distrust of our word,” says Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones, a family physician and former president of the American Public Health Association. Dr. Joia Crear-Perry, president of the National Birth Equity Collaborative, says Dr. Moore’s complaints about being disrespected by medical staff are “really familiar” to her. “We’ve found that Black patients, Black birthing people are not valued; they’re not listened to,” she says.

The doctor who failed to treat Dr. Moore should be stripped of his lisence to practice medicine.
I agree and he needs to be charged and sentenced for her death.
It's a killer. He should go into trial.
Pain is subj.must be treated
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT. They (hospital staff) that had charge over her should a
ALL pay for it they ALL let her down
*I’m left entirely speechless...* 😳 *This woman still had so much good to do for others and now she’s gone because of a racist fool? REVOLTING!* 😡
Don't be speechless, speak up and out against racism.
As a 65 yr old Woman who is a Native American I totally agree. The medical field needs to be challenged, exposed and held accountable. We now, we complain, we show the statistics but we just get pushed away because the system protects its own.
Teach! The US authority are also NOT giving any attention to all of the missing Black and Native women. Tragic. We all know about the black market for organs and melanin.
I Put my trust in God. not man
I have been through something similar in 2017 and they got shocked when i woke up from double dose given to me : Ardol. Benadry; Ativan Seroquel, citalopram in a serynge and in pills, I woke up in an ambulance leaving Ontario going to Québec, they put me in the coocoos house. Im writing a book about ut. No lawyers wants to take the case.
@@mstann8153 Alot of the time I put my trust in women.
I wonder why? “God”, unfortunately, doesn’t seem to give a damn about Black Americans. That “where two or more are gathered “in my name” BS is just to keep the dollars 💵 flowing to the preachers, popes and politicians. Far more than two have gathered in prayer and NOTHING has changed- systematic racism is still running 🏃♂️ amock...on steroids! As Matt Dilahunty says, “Nothing fails like prayer.” ...especially for the Black American Slaves (and their descendants - ADOS) who built the richest country 🇺🇸 in the world. 🌎
My condolences to her. This an issue that needs more light. Hospitals have been getting away with murder for a long time.
True that Hospital killed my sister as well I hate hospital rudder go to holistic Dr.
The “system” will always be untrustworthy.
The system (racism, white supremacy) not only is untrustworthy but has the support of nearly 80% of the white population. According to Harvard and Yale psychologists. Read the book Blind Spot by Banaji and Greenwald.

@@bessieking3797 lots of it. For some that's all the get. And the meek shall inherit the earth. Now that's real wisdom. Besides ne being cynical, I do agree with you.
the system only works well for those with the complection for the connection and lots of $$$. The people have to push the law makers to get PAC money and lobbyist out of politics. Grass root candidates need more support. Progressives need more support. There should be term limits in congress. New, progressive, young and diverse candidates have to be elected to promote change. GOP and DEMs are for the same old status quo basically. The DEMs appeal more to black & POC becuse they have a people agenda. However they don't give a good fight except for the squad.
America has nothing to be proud about. The doctor who treated her needs to be prosecuted. The whole education system needs to be reviewed as racism is taught.
Lord another public lynching. A black doctor mind you
And lose his license, once Dr. Moore’s grievances have been explored fully.
EyE concur
This USA Capitalist Experiment 🧫🧪🔬currently gets a grade of D-! Racism is it’s Achilles hell!
So True!
They caused her to suffer unnecesarly
Right
I'm having a problem trying to find a Black doctor. White doctors do not touch me. Everything these ladies are saying are so true. At 68 I think I deserve better.
You do!
God bless you Mam
Yes! You deserve it!
When my mom was in the hospital being treated for a brain tumor, she had this wonderful black doctor. I asked him if I could have her acupuncturist come in to treat her. He said yes. When the acupuncturist arrived, the other doctors informed him that he is not allowed to treat my mom. I was devastated. I begged the medical board to allow him to treat my mom. The next day, the black doctor was replaced with a white, narcissistic tv doctor type and thus, my mother ended up dying.🥲
@@barb6868 I'm so sorry. did you do anything? File complaint against hospital. Ask why other Dr wasn't allowed to treat your mom or why the Black Dr. was replaced?
We need our own HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS! PERIOD!
So you're calling for segregation then? If you really believe this nonsense why dont you move to a country without white people?
We need our own place to live in peace.
We need our own medical systems, to prevent being victims of "deliberate" negligent homicide from these WS. If it's segregation for this reason, then absolutely yes!! We're staying right here.
@@iamme2399 Western "white" hospitals have the best health outcomes in the world by far. They are the world leaders in healthcare. In places like Africa , outcomes are 100 times worse.
All the rich African leaders fly to western countries like the US when they need treatment for serious conditions.
Half the black people in the world would be dead without western vaccinations and anti-biotics.
Black people had them! Learn your history! However, most never learned the difference between Desegregation and Integration!
You have to do a video To show the injustice in a hospital system. My heart goes out to her family.
May she rest in peace.
My she rest in heaven god bless her son and her family. This is a shame before god
Exactly why I changed physicians. My previous doctor basically blamed the Hydroxy (current drug problem) on Blacks. Then he got upset when I gave him the national statistics proving that Whites were thw abusers of that drug and their doctors were the suppliers.
We’re so numb. This isn’t new, it’s what mainstream media and society has ignored for as long as we have been complaining
Numb or Dumb..
@@kemet07wasette40 Both.
I’m black and work in healthcare and still won’t take it!
I don't blame you

Please don’t take it, US is evil, for our black brothers and sisters
I agree!!!!!
Won’t take what🤷🏽♀️?
I filed a complaint against a white doctor who kept laughing at me when I complained about having a low grade fever for almost a year. When I switched to another doctor she had me go to a rheumatologist. I may have a borderline autoimmune issue.
And filed a complaint against another white receptionist who didn't wear her mask when I arrived. And again when I saw a white nurse in the hallway not wearing a mask.
Fight back, don't stay silent!
This reminds me of a pharmacist that laughed at me. He gave me a prescription for sleeping pills. I told him I was suppose to get a pain reliever. He laughed at me and said I'd be asleep, so I wouldn't know if I was in pain.🙄
wow sounds like you are kind of racist. Meanwhile, African Americans have totally ignored medical advice and social distancing around covid. Now they dont want to take the vaccine because of dumb conspiracy theories spread by black so called leaders.
Have you thought of emigrating to a country without white people?
@@anonymouskat4868 Did you file a complaint? That's completely uncalled for! You need the correct medication that your doctor prescribed.

This is absolutely outrageous. This must be changed.
Men are more likely to have drug addictions, alcoholism and suicide than women. Does that mean men are oppressed by women? Does it mean men are systematically oppressed by society?
@@tubester4567 It is absolutely apparent to me for many years that men have these problems first because as part of their self definition AS MEN they must suppress all emotions except anger. All others are are " not masculine", hence they never learned to deal with their emotions. There's only two paths left to them with their building explosive pain or anger: violence or substance abuse to provide some pressure valve for the severe emotion. Secondly, men's self definition that they must always be strong, capable, successful so frequently is headed for a conflict with reality that again when they find themselves not successful in the world in the world with respect to those gender defined male traits they have only two pressure valve outlets: violence and substance abuse. When men relationships fail with women it is so often these lifelong self definitions of masculinity that has made having a healthy truly loving relationship with another impossible. It is amazing that there are a good number of men who do have good loving relationships with another, but when I see this I typically see a man who is not in strict self compliance with dictates of male gender self definition and he has either had a parent that was very loving and taught him that he should healthfully love himself and others and a nurturant freedom to express his emotions healthily. On some occasions he did not receive that sort of love and insurance from a parent and his soul cried out for it and he sooner or later crossed paths with someone who taught him this and he had the sort of personality that made him receptive to learning and expressing this mode of being from another source or at a later date. The core to men's deepest emotional problems and expressions of violence in the world is their male gender self definitions. That said, our earliest primitive histories involved constant war and violence between men in order to survive amongst themselves driven by their physical strength, their strong sexual drive, and very much so testosterone. The development of tribal competition and rulers of countries fostered continual wars and the demand for men who's primary definition as men was as fierce soldiers. This is what has fueled the male self definition. Later this is continually fostered in the American males obsession with competitive sports - a healthier less violent combat. This generalized to men's s competitiveness within ultra- capitalism. He strives to be seen as financially powerful, he strives to be seen as a good breadwinner, he strives to be successful in his relationship with women or " his" woman. When those realities are not realized he feels weak, self hatred, emasculated, emotional pain about why his relationship has failed. There are only two outlets for him: violence or substance abuse - OR SUICIDE. This, I submit is what we see. It is time we help men expand and heal their self definitions as men. There are many groups of men all over the country who are actively and self consciously getting together and doing hard self work on these issues. Our youngest generations of young men- most I think- are already being brought up with and choosing a new self definition to free themselves and make themselves much happier people with more ways to deal with stress than only violence, substance abuse and suicide. This gives me hope for the world.
@@aliciastanley5582 So you're saying men are systemically oppressed by society because of the way they were raised.?
My point was just because people have different outcomes, doesnt mean its somebody elses fault.
I dont think most men care about being top dog, most men just want to have value and a purpose in life. Most men just want a humble home and to live comfortably.
Men have much more varied interests and hobbies than women, men like to build things, make things, learn technology, fix cars, start businesses. Most men who play sports play in humble suburban leagues with no expectation of making it to the big leagues.
I think you have a kind of stereotypical simplistic view of men. You also kind of assume all men have problems, when only a few % end up in jail or in trouble.
It also doesnt explain why, as society becomes more "progressive", drug addiction and mental health problems has increased for both genders.
Many men of this generation have been raised by single mothers and we know a kid from a single mother household has a much bigger risk of criminality, drug addiction and jail.
@@tubester4567 I don't think men are systematically oppressed. I think men systematically oppress. But the gender self definitions embedded in our culture foster a limited self growth for men as human beings and this causes great emotional distress for them personally and for everyone else around them. The amount of criminality and violence expressed by men is highly common in our culture. If you are unaware of this I don't know what to say to you. I've studied the statistics and I don't think this is a stereotype but it is a fact. Individuals vary on a bell curve but aggregates of behaviors are known.
@@aliciastanley5582 That doesnt explain why as society becomes more progressive and "aware", mental illness and drug addictions are increasing for both genders and crime has gone up many times.
In conservative times pre-1960's there was very little crime, violence, addictions, homelessness or mental illness. Nobody locked their house doors in the 1950's.
It sounds like you've been reading too much left-wing feminist theory,
Women have the same rates of suicide as men, even more, they just succeed less at suicide.
Women in the working class tend to go after bad boy type men which skews the numbers on abuse, bad boy tend to have many female partners in their lifetime but even so, the vast majority of men are law abiding responsible citizens who have never been arrested.
So yeah your theories dont match reality, in conservative times pre-1960's there was very little crime, drug addiction, mental illness, homelessness or violence and today its very common and getting worse every year.. Society is falling apart.
I feel as for her son.
Dreadful, I can’t believe such a thing would--- that white doctor be treated likewise -- I am disgusted. Not examination!!!!! Shame on him. NAME HIM too. Maureen Brophy
Yes, who is this doctor? String him up with Trump and Pence, the Christian Pharisees who called a pandemic a hoax. Moore was first, a victim of how the pandemic was handled, and second a victim of bigotry. No matter first or second, this kind of white privilege and racism is: Murderers All.
she was medicated properly as far as the treating doctor was concerned
@@alanbstard4 I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but your ignorance is showing. If you know ANYTHING about medicine at all, you know that the policy has been, for over two decades now, that pain is subjective, and it is not supposed to ever be questioned by the physician. Particularly in Moore's case, also a doctor, who had no history of drug addiction. But trust me on this, bigots will readily excuse bigots. They have the 'R' card & are part of the club.
NAME THEM and SHAME THEM.
@@grantmarcus5675 not mu ignorance. The doc said they didn't want to over medicate her
Seems like doctors need to wear cameras so their prejudices can be monitored.
I like that idea.

That’s an excellent idea! I hope they do apply this to ALL employees at ALL healthcare facilities (hospitals , clinics and private doctors offices).
These people are just plain evil, with one breath, they say “ Oh Were All Humans” and these same people will treat you total opposite. ALL

@@emhu2594 I know you're right. Humanity is a mess. We have a lot of work to do.
I remember in late 2019 my aunt was at hilcrest medical center in ICU. We were told that there wasn't anything that they could do for her. Her heart was operating at 3%. Miraculously when she woke up from a coma, and was able to talk she told us that she was put in the hallway for hours on a gurnee where she screamed in pain about her chest and head. She was afraid to be left alone. This is the same hospital that told us my mom was sleeping well, yet called the family in from the waiting room and told us that my mom had a aneurysm . She died less than a day later. It's a non stop cycle.

Unlike most dental patients, over the age of 75, who are given preventative or prophylactic antibiotics, James Brown was given nothing, and got an infection afterward and died soon after that. But James Brown was really killed by his negligent bigoted dentist. I guess he didn't like James Brown's lyrics, "Let's fight together / Let's be together / America."

@@b.k.3280 I was not being funny. Maybe you confuse my 'humor' with your own insensitivity and bigotry. What I said simply is that James Brown, like Susan Moore died of negligent malpractice. And by pointing that out, I was also showing that this has been going on a long time, and if you're black, it doesn't matter who you are nor how wealthy.. Amy Goodman brought up Serena Williams to show consistent bias in medicine. This is no joke unless you are a bigot
This is so sad. Tears 😭😭

They killed her. OMG

I think you missed the point.
That's exactly how they treat you like you're an addict. Even with confirmed diagnosis in hand they don't want to ease your pain and treat you like that it's very disturbing.
I experienced it first hand at LOL hospital in BR. I will never admit myself there for emergency care again.
I'm being told by politically incorrect people that they're here to replace me,I'm not special.Everybody &everything is special not believing lies.Dr.Susan Moore say her name ❤.

How many doctors actually heed the Hippocratic Oath:
"Do No Harm".?
None. The majority are forced to operate based under govt guidelines, which are designs to treat Black people as less than huEman
With that said, there are many who don't operate under those guidelines. EyE was fortunate enough to find one that is Black and has compassion

@@elementalbuttahfly8510 Good for you. Back in the day, they used to adhere to more natural methods to treat individuals and even paid their patients and their families home visits. Their recommendation usually was "Take two of these and call me in the morning." That all changed when drugs became the treatment of choice for just about every ailment under the sun.
@@portiavaughn3482 You can bet not a whole lot. Not when people can shop around for all types of supplements on their own instead of opting for the doctor's inventory of supplements which are usually marked up at higher prices than what is available locally and online. I am of the opinion that the best way to stay out of a doctor's non-emergency care is taking good care of your own body and mental nutrition. What we say to ourselves and allow to enter our minds is critical to our wellbeing. Avoid tobacco, drugs and alcohol, eat as close to nature as possible, avoid junk foods, drink plenty of clean water, and get some exercise, sunshine, and rest.

This happens to all poor people. The ACA has an invisible line where help stops. That’s a fact, I have and am living it. The idea that poc are treated worse than I have been treated makes me sick.
Totally agree. Poor people are treated like shit in this capitalist global economy. It’s just a fact more people of colour are poor because it is the countries of people of colour that countries of white European and white European ancestry exploit in the name of colonial, imperial, liberal economic policies. It’s disgusting and has always been disgusting. Now that this same system is created massive poverty for whites in the wealthy countries poor whites will be dying too. It’s already happening. MLK understood this a long time ago.
You're right. Even if doctors SEE you as poor. I had a reaction to the first herpes zoster vaccine. I was in my yard, pulling weeds, when I suddenly got this burning on top of my head, and felt these little bumps. The pain was bad. I immediately went to urgent care in my old work shoes, and work clothes. I overheard the doctor say, "Why are poor people so stupid. This guy gets a rash because he can't clean himself. I was white, so they listened to my relentless complaints & fired the doctor.
I would've went to another hospital after they released me. This is sad..
She did. This was the second hospital. I suppose she was not stable enough to move to a third hospital.
Its ashame that I have almost died twice and yet no one offered me any help to get over the trauma is sad
So sorry you went through that. I am hoping and praying everyday you can see light and goodness in many places. Blessings to you!
So sorry young sista. Sometimes your friends and enemies need to be revealed in order for you to grow in your business quietly not giving them a way to hinder you.
@Nicole and Entourage Please seek help on your own. Don't wait for an offer from the system. Take care of you self and get therapy for the mental, emotional trauma you probably still carry the weight of.
This very hard to listen to. WOW.
My eyes are wide open now. And it is a painful, tragic truth exposed. I feel helpless in the face of so much injustice. This country must get back to protecting all the people. Thank you DN!
I have been treated the same way as Serena Williams by the US medical system yet I know my body better than any medical provider. I am so glad Serena survived that horror. She is so strrong, intelligent and beautiful. I have fired several ignorant physicians in my life, and for this reason, have high standards for anyone I allow to partner with me in promoting my health.
So you're a doctor or admin in hospital? How did you get them fired? I tried my best with a some unprofessional people in the hospital but all they did was talk to them.
You do not have to accept substandard medical care, and you are essentially always the "employer" when partaking of services. Don't allow them to shame you. Take back your power. Walk away. Get another opinion. Providers of services are exactly that - not gods. If Serena had acted like they knew better than she did, Serena would be dead now. Any provider "worth their salt" will listen and problem solve with you. Like many other professions, some people barely make the cut, while others are stellar. Find one that's stellar.
@@barbarawarren9443 I see. I had to change my therapist from an older white lady who meant well but knew very little about my trauma from racism since the 2016 election on. So now I have an African American therapist and her personal experience helps me greatly. She gets me.
I remember when I had a gallstones & the pain was so intense & went to the hospital. They made me wait 4 -6 hrs without meds until they looked at my ultrasound to prove I had real pain.
No one in healthcare believes you have pain until its proven as a fact.
This is an extremely sad situation & I am saddened to hear she went through such horrible care.
May she Rest In Peace. But we can’t be at peace.
Sooooo the “medical assessment” that a doctor can expect to receive (let alone anyone who is not one) goes no further than what Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing has diagnosed: a pattern of thought, speech, actions, emotional responses based on the medically-trained perception of melanin in the skin.
The oaths of strangers.
When I questioned a white doctor about giving my 85 year old grandma a hysterectomy, that doctor became indignant at my questions. I had to assure him that my grandmother is loved and protected by me, that I have the rights to question him and be assured. I told him as God as my witness you will not be alone while operating on her body because she has been promised a long life. He then smiles and walk away. Several years ago, after grandma stayed in the hospital a week, they sent her home to die saying she only has a month or so. My son and I seemed to be the only family around her that didn't believe the doctors diagnosis. We knew she wasn't going to die. Sure enough we have celebrated her 100 year BIRTHDAY...
Beautiful! Good for you fellow soldier!!!
"If I were white, I wouldn't have to go through that". Not quite exactly.
If you were a white doctor who was known to have provided quality care to minority patients in a white supremacist zone, say Fargo, ND, or Mpls, MN, that is exactly what you would have gone through, hospitalized either in South Carolina while visiting a sick relative there or back in Mpls fighting for your life from what should have been a simple cellulitis that was floridly mismanaged by the South Carolina medical staff. I am a doctor. I was targeted by a hate group starting when I became the specialist doc for a child whose father happened to look like President Obama. (No relation most likely. Lots of people look alike.) The community's racist hatred for President Obama carried over to hatred for an innocent handicapped little African American child whose father happened to look like the President. And from there, the hatred was directed to that child's white doctor providing appropriate care for the child and family, as I had provided to every patient I saw, according to my Hippocratic and Baptismal Oaths. I began to be targeted by a hate group when I became that child's doctor.
During this period following my being the doctor for this particular child, I was nearly killed when, while visiting a sick relative in South Carolina, I became inexplicably ill with a dangerous and fast moving skin cellulitis that put me into the hospital there for a week. After a week of bad care in a hospital in South Carolina, where they misidentified the germ as gram negative when it was clearly strep, a medstudent level mistake, and as the staff in South Carolina were treating me as if I were some kind of criminal when I was actually a doctor visiting a relative who had just been diagnosed with cancer, I reached out to friends from my church in Minnesota who were retired military. They would understand a life threatening situation when told about it. After I called them, terrified for my life and with no skin on my legs from the infection and the bad medical care that had taken the skin off both legs from ankle to knee, these friends took action. They got on the phone to the hospital in South Carolina, told the hospital staff that I was on the Altar Guild at church so that the nursing staff would stop treating me like some juvenile drug-addicted delinquent criminal, got me discharged even though there was no skin on my legs and I had to care for my own bandages, told me to "build a nest" for myself for one night in a hotel in South Carolina until I could get a flight back to Minnesota, and referred me to a hospital in Minneapolis where I could be seen by one of their medical colleagues who was, himself, a former medical military officer, now in civilian practice.
In Minnesota the next day, I checked in to a hospital there to be treated for the dangerous cellulitis that had taken the skin off both legs, from ankle to knee, developing suddenly, while visiting family in South Carolina. However, the retired military doc was not on service for my first few days in the hospital in Minneapolis. Instead I got treated by some Russian emigre doctoretta who had perhaps half my age and a quarter of my skills. Though the antibiotics given me in Minneapolis were more effective than the incorrect ones chosen in South Carolina, the nursing staff deliberately "blew" my IV with every infusion. I was having at least three to four IV's a day, and each time required a half dozen "sticks" to start a new working IV.
By the time my church friends' former military colleague was back on service at the hospital and got to see me as his patient, I had been there for several days/ Though I was not complaining about how the nurses just happened to "blow" my IV several times a day, necessitating resticking my arms and even my legs, at least twenty times a day in an effort to get a working IV, I was starting to feel nauseous, slightly queasy, and to lose my appetite, inexplicably. When the former military doc returned to service and sized up the situation, he palpated my abdomen and his face changed. He said, "Her infection is clear. Her daily fevers to 104 are because she's allergic to one of the antibiotic drugs you're giving her three times a day. Stop all IV's. Give her 2 days of oral amoxicillin, and send her home. The skin on her legs can regrow at home." What he didn't say out loud to the hospital staff but had ascertained was true, was that, having, in effect, been subjected to torture several times a day in the form of repeated needlesticks in the repeated daily attempts to restart the deliberately ruined IV that the nurses ruined on purpose each time they pretended to flush it, I was developing a syndrome he'd seen before in POW's. Captured soldiers and others in captivity can, at times, develop micro-perforations of the gut induced by unrelenting physical stress that included torture. This causes a peritonitis that kills them, thus freeing them in death from facing further torture. This had been happening to me without my knowing it nor any staff being aware of it. However, had the situation continued, in another day or two, I would have been dying of fully blown peritonitis caused by the nurses' deliberate torture treatment in the form of twenty to forty needle sticks a day, caused by their deliberately failed attempts to secure a working IV. (Nobody is that bad at flushing IV's unless they mean to be ruining them several times a day.)
The 2 days of oral amox prescribed by this former military specialist doctor before I was to be discharged, were to allow the gut perfs to heal before sending me home.
This assault on my life in the form of deliberately bad nursing and medical care (until the arrival of the former military doctor on service who was known to my friends at church) happened because I had become known in the community for providing good care to minority patients. The hate campaign continued, with slander, car crashes, home invasions, job loss via slander, and all sorts of rumors spread about me that were floridly untrue, for years after my slow recovery from that seemingly spontaneous skin infection. The attacks and slander and terror, in my home and whenever I go out shopping, continue to this day, occurring most recently...two days ago when I went out to get groceries. I continue to try to restore my career and reputation in the face of ongoing attacks from this domestic hate and terror group that seems specifically to target women doctors, and to target any doctor who saves minority lives. I did at one point attempt to phone Democracy Now to tell them about this situation when I was being actively stalked in Boston in 2017 , but did not get through to anyone to make a useful connection.
How long has this been going on in my life? The African American child with the dad who happened to look like President Obama became my patient in 2012. The domestic terror started soon after and continues to this day, along with every kind of slander you can imagine, car crashes, home invasions, professional slander and blackballing, and the minions of the hate group following me to assault me chemically whenever I leave the house to go shopping. My lawyer has only partially succeeded in clearing the hate group's slanderfilth from my professional record. As it happens, I have always lead a squeaky clean life in every regard, like many women who become teachers and doctors: no cigarettes, no alcohol, never used a drug, conventional lifestyle, conventional friends, active in my church, committed to my work as a doctor and to keeping my Baptismal Oath as a Christian to reject evil, including racism, with God's help.
So, no, it's probably not entirely because Dr. Susan Moore was Black that she was targeted. I'm as white as it gets, and I was targeted similarly and am lucky to be alive. It's likely also because, as a doctor, Dr. Moore DARED to Save Black Lives, DARED to do her job, DARED to keep her oaths, both as a doctor and as an adult member of whatever religion she practiced to serve good and reject evil, rejecting the evils of racism and illness with God's help (as we say in my church).. A minor, yet significant difference: Dr. Moore was likely specifically targeted for her works as a doctor, as well as for her identity.
Having only narrowly survived a similar situation some years ago, narrowly surviving with my life through the intervention of a doctor with the knowledge and skill to recognize that I was about to be killed and to discharge me in time to save my life (and having had my career devastated to this day by the same hate group's slander on purpose and on paper, beginning with that episode of their successful assault on both my health and my career,) I believe it was likely Dr. Moore's Effectiveness at saving lives and her Works for Good that got her targeted by a hate group to receive bad care on purpose and be killed, not merely the color of her skin. The battle lines are, sadly, all too clear, as Pastor Robert Lowell pointed out in his nineteenth century hymn, Once to Every Man and Nation. I believe it was likely the content of Dr. Moore's good character as revealed by her outstanding good works as a doctor that sealed her fate with the hate group types on that hospital staff, in addition to the color of her skin.
Summary: The racist hate groups don't merely target Black people. In addition, they specifically are targeting DOCTORS known to save Black lives. This is not sporadic. It is a trend. It would help me and my colleagues if you could look into the situation further, because I know of not one but several doctors who have been so targeted by hate groups.
@@privatehuman4116 If God could send the elite law enforcement officers of a federal law enforcement agency specifically tasked and funded and mandated to investigate, capture, and jail members of domestic terrorist hate groups (for example, those kind of elite funded and trained law enforcement agencies include but are not limited to the FBI, the DEA, the ATF, and the Secret Service), that would be even more practical and effective in protecting me, protecting other doctors, and stamping out these appalling domestic hate groups than the Host of Heaven. The Host of Heaven is all very well and good, but the agents of the FBI, ATF, or DEA would be way the heck more practical in solving the problem: we need to BREAK those white supremacist domestic terrorist groups by investigating them, arresting them, and putting them in jail where they belong. Now we know what Beau Biden's doctors would have faced, had they succeeded in saving his life. This problem has a solution. The correctly mandated Law Enforcement Agencies need to get the heck up off their tuffets and go after the domestic terrorist CREEPS. Only, so far, they haven't.
This so devastating when I first heard DR MOORE speaking from her hospital bed I was in shock!!! A fellow dr and nurse treated so badly I cried. FIRST DO NO HARM JUSTICE FOR DOCTOR MOORE! REST IN PEACE THEY SHOULD BE PERSECUTED!!!!!!!!!!!!
During the delivery of my son in a Philadelphia hospital. The anesthesialogist was angry that my OBGYN called him to provide pain meds to me. He yelled at me saying that he had patients dying downstairs. At that moment I knew
I am sorry you went through that. I trust you and your baby are well. You have a testimony now.
People forget how James Brown, Mr. Dynamite & Soul Brother #1, died. He went to the dentist and got a tooth pulled. Unlike most dental patients, over the age of 75, who are given preventative or prophylactic antibiotics, James Brown was given nothing, and got an infection afterward and died from it. But James Brown was really killed by his negligent bigoted dentist. I guess he didn't like James Brown's lyrics, "Let's fight together / Let's be together / America."
Musta been the big pay back song
This is heartbreaking I’m white I just can’t believe how black people are treated in America disgusting shame on America
Really! You can't believe it. You just pointing out you/Country problem.
It's by the grace of god that I've reached the age of 62. I have many stories of neglect at the hands of the medical community, for me & my children... most times I had to figure out what was wrong with me & beg the doctor to look into it to get relief.
It always breaks my heart to see how EVIL this system IS!
BS. Western hospitals have the best outcomes and standards in the world. Rich people from all over the world go to western hospitals for treatment, mostly from non-western countries.
@@tubester4567 Yeah most RICH people are WHITE! Of course medicine has it's place and most doctors believe in the oath they take however that doesn't diminish racism in medicine.
@@dlcdeevah1 No, Im talk about RICH BLACK/BROWN politicians and businessmen from African countries, and Middle Eastern countries and Asian countries all travel to the west for treatment when they have a serious illness.
That's what happen to my friends 21 year old daughter. She went to the ER in extreme pain and difficult breathing. They didn't even see her thinking she was lying. She died in the ER from a pulmonary embolism. She was black, just married.
Rip Dr. You are a great soul💐🩺🌍🌹🎆🌻🥀🌹🌹⭐💯⛑️💡🌎💘😇💪👍💫🖤✝️🇺🇸.
Her name is Dr. Susan Moore, RIP
Racism is endemic throughout the medical establishment, I as well as people that I've met that had experienced excruciating pain and has been treated as if they were there to get a "fix", and/or that they are exaggerating their pain, also if they are there for other medical problems, black people are rarily given the benefit of the doubt and their treatment, correspondingly is inept, and we die because of it.
BS. Its funny how most of the people who had "problems with a racist system" were all trying to get narcotics.
@@tubester4567 I only mentioned the time(s), that I was in pain, it was hardly the only time(s) that I didn't get the medical assistance that I needed when I went to the hospital or doctor, it's not enough room for that here. Get educated, unless you like being ignorant!
@@sojotruth1116 That kind of thing happens to everyone. Do you know that in all western countries except the US, its virtually impossible to get opioids?
There is a reason why the US has an opioid crisis and other western countries dont.
There is plenty of good painkilling medication that isnt opioid based.
The opioid medications were designed for serious hospital care, car accidents, cancer patients and end of life treatments. They were never meant to be for random pain that doesnt have an obvious cause.
In ALL institutions period!
RIP Dr. Susan Moore 🕊🕊🕊
My heart goes out to her family may you rest in Heaven Dr. Susan Moore
Very sad imagine giving your service expecting to be treated better but then again as a Doctor to receive that type of care is so inhuman, sad indeed 😭
Even white friends of black people are treated with disrespect. My brother, white, befriends several black people and helped a woman get to a hospital about 1.5 yrs ago, because of severe leg pain. She died suddenly and the white Dr came in and he looked at my brother and said "What did you give her?", assuming any one befriending blacks must be an addict as well as the black person (?) or what?. He was aghast! It was a blood clot!
Can you sue that hospital. Seriously!
I keep you in my prayers Dr Susan Moore
Serena Williams, you got a wake up call! Good for you!
From Europe: we always knew, that America wasn't that democratic paradise, that Americans like to call their country. "The greatest democracy in the World!" The Corona crysis and Trumps so called presidency shows the World what USA really is. But thank God there also are people like you and many like you who make us hopeful - thank you and your friends - don't give up! Stay healthy!
We've never been a democracy only a constitutional republic that has been corrupt since our War Between the States / American Civil War and now captured by oligarchs
Utterly shameful. I'm a white woman suffering chronic pain and the inhumane treatment i have endured has been beyond torture but watching Dr Moore's suffering at the hands of mostly white, male Doctors has shocked even me and at this point I truly thought I was beyond shock. May God bless Dr Moore.
Serena Williams, is highly visible.
This happens, all the time!!
It can happen to anyone but 99% of cases go through the system without problems. Western hospitals have the best outcomes and standards in the world. Left-wing media only shows the 1% of bad outcomes to push a narrative of victimhood and identity politics.
@@tubester4567 black women are 5x more likely to die during childbirth than their white counterparts. Read the the data. Make the effort and top spouting right wing talking points.
If ever I heard “Code Blue Postpartum” I instantly had a visceral reaction because I knew it was ADOS or POC.
@@ursulabaptiste4241 Thats because they are many times more likely to have other health conditions like obesity, diabetes and addictions and various lifestyle maladies. They are also less likely to get, and to follow medical attention.
Black leaders often spread anti-science, anti-American propaganda and conspiracies to the community which leads to distrust and fear.
Its happening right now with distrust of the Covid vaccine,
Men (of all races) are more likely to go to jail or suicide than women, does that mean men are "oppressed by society"? No, it just means they take more risks than women.
Rich African leaders, and non-western rich people fly to western countries when they need serious medical attention. There is a very good reason for that, its because we have the best health outcomes in the world.
For example for infant mortality, 3 out of 1000 babies fail to reach adulthood in the US.
In africa, 100 out of 1000 babies fail to reach adulthood.
Before western vaccinations and anti-biotics 50% of babies in the 3rd world failed to survive childhood,
@@tubester4567 Victimhood? Bad treatment should not be given to ANY patient. 1% or 0.00001% it SHOULD be exposed!
I wish this video would miraculously go viral! America needs to understand and learn this. Thank you all at DN especially Amy Goodman.
I remember when I had my second baby after my c section there was this nurse who was so mean to me accused me of ringing my bell for help all the time I was in so much pain I wanted the catheter removed because they had told me it would be removed at 9:00am it was 1pm and I wanted to it out so she came along and just yanked it out in anger I was so shocked don't know why I never reported her but will never forget her face 😭😭
At least! They should fire the doctor who turned her out.
I had just given birth by cesarean section Feb 13, 1966 needing blood work when two nurses commented that Black people had tough skin b/c they couldn’t find my vein.
THANK GOD FOR THESE WOMEN!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I also experienced subpar care. I recieved shots without alcohol wipes, lab work taken early morning hours results recieved 7PM with high potassium levels. Transferred from rehab to emergency hospital where it was crowded. When I refused admission I was not allowed back to rehab even though due to be released the next day. I stayed in hospital lobby till 9AM when a friend picked me up.
Thass effed up! Start taking sea moss!!!!! Seriously! ALLLL BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD BE TAKING SEA MOSS!!!!!!
That's exactly why I'm punk I don't trust the system never have never will that's why I find alternative place to live..
Sad
So heartbreaking💔
Thank you Drs for your expertise and grace in explaining yet again what we all know happens and is still happening institutional racism.
What actions are going to be taken against these physicians and nurses for the treatment of this woman?
We need to call and write letters to that hospital and demand that something be done, but this is probably playing out in the lives of Blacks folks all over the country. Of course, most are not MDs and, therefore, aren't drawing the attention of the media.
Why Do Our Face Have A Race The Care That We Get Should Be The Same Shame On America Shame On You... 🖤
Our face doesn't have a race it is a walking reminder of the largest debt owed ever in the history of mankind.
@@Ts-hr5vb We Are Hated For No Reason Yet We Show So Much Love To Others Forgiving People That Should Never Be Forgiven... 💯🖤
AMY, thank for unbiased reports - please continue to do this - someone has to... God bless you and all you hold dear!
I’m in Ireland and I’m black I’ve been having large bilateral effusion, neck pain , chest pain, my heart is skipping beats, I had a dvt, confusion foggy brain , unable to focus, cramp in my legs, numbness in my left arm, pain in my left shoulder but the doctors just keep telling me to go home too... it’s just ridiculous
Every patient is an expert in their own body! Preach!
This is a medical apartheid.
They need to give Serena Williams part of her money back since she did the major part of their work while she was in the hospital!
Condolences to her family and strength and love to her son... may God cover him and may her soul rest in peace... it's hurtful.
As a person with a disability, this is TOO DAMN often that people are treated like this. I grew up being told children like me don't feel pain. Had procedures done without medication, without anesthesia. Been denied care entirely, or questioned until blue in the face, OR given pain meds just to get rid of me. There's rarely a middle ground, and when I find it, I hold onto it White-knuckle for as long as I can, because our lives are in these people's hands.... and too often it's taken for granted, and people don't know "what to do with us" and we are tossed aside, ignored, or left in pain. It's a deadly game, and while it is too often imparted upon people of color, ANYONE seen as "less than" is a consequence of that education passed down from older Gen doctors to impressionable young staff who dare not speak up, so we die from it.
My mother was complaining about pain when she went to her doctor he told her I am not God she died of congestive heart failure .
Oh wow My Condolences
@@lisafarris63 thank you 😊
I know we do have unprofessional manners in medical
Can't the family sue the hospital and these doctors who failed to do their jobs!
This is outrageous, made even more glaring that she was, herself a doctor! And if they treat a doctor like this, how would they treat a non doctor!
No one should question pain? Pain is pain!
This is disgusting!
I heard on radio that there are 70 countries where pregnant black American women would get better care than in the U.S.
We can in U.S too bring back the midwives!
Im mixed race and i have back pain so severe i can't walk or stand longer then about 5 minutes and so far the doctors have done nothing.... This is just the tip of the iceberg...
You need to start to heal yourself and forget this doctors pray and ask god to heal you there is so many things you can do buy youself have faith in God
@@sherelnzuza5447 so everyboby in pain who prays to god gets healed?
Great episode,thank you. I pray for Dr. Susan Moore' Soul,& Her Family. Also those Medical Technician Who TRULY Strive to 'DO THE RIGHT THING'.
What is needed is HUMANITy that apparently is not present in that hospital. Federal funding should be yanked from that hospital and an investigation.
I came out of an Associate's Degree program in 2002. My instructors were stellar. They always taught us to LISTEN to your patients. You have the expertise to get them what they need but they know their bodies best. They live in them daily. Not us.
Dr Susan Moore 's sonn need to sue the hospital and the doctors and nurses that was involved in her care
“Intimidated”.... by our existence. I remember my Nursing instructor telling me that exact word and trying to deflect that on me.. that I cause her to feel that way... when asked for specific occasions or examples, she had none. I expressed regret that she was experiencing that & asked to be dismissed. The absolute nerve of that woman! Ps: she was MARRIED TO A BLACK MAN, so of course she is not racist! Lol- but that’s a entirely separate conversation!
They are the ones that are racist
I'm speechless. I almost died in the care of doctors several times. My complaints we're unanswered and no attorney would fight for me. Thank God this woman was an actual black doctor that has testified to such actions, revealing the heartless world of Physicians. My condolences to her Family.
This is why we have to focus on Africa. America or Europe will never treat blacks well.
