Racism in the Hospital?

Here is a little food for thought. I read an article on CNN while waiting to go to the gym that said, people are being judged on their skin color while visiting the hospital. Really? Really? I personally don't like racism, I think everyone should be treated equally, that is until your personality comes out! If you give an attitude to someone and automatically put yourself on some high horse, of course people are going to treat ANYONE differently! DUH! That is just common sense! I can't tell you how many landscape jobs where the people wanting the work gives bad attitudes towards you, and of course you can't say anything back, but your work performance changes drastically! Here is the article from CNN..

(CNN) -- John Reid, a retired businessman, came home from a Caribbean cruise a few years ago with an infected toe as a souvenir. As a diabetic, he knew it was serious, so he went to the emergency room near his home in New York City. There, he says, the first doctor he saw ordered an immediate amputation, scheduling him for surgery right then and there. Horrified, he argued with the doctor, insisting there had to be a way to avoid lopping off his toe. "You'd better bring the head doctor in here," he said.

Reid says the more senior doctor prescribed a long-term regimen of intravenous antibiotics and physical therapy -- a treatment much more expensive and time-consuming than an amputation -- and saved his toe.

Reid, who is African-American, firmly believes that if he'd been a white man, the junior doctor wouldn't have been so quick to order the cheaper and more drastic solution over his objections.

"I think it was very disrespectful. As a matter of fact, I think she was looking down on me," he said. "She just decided that, this guy was a minority [and] we're going to do whatever we feel like doing without consulting you."

Reid says he thinks the young doctor assumed he wasn't smart enough to think through a medical decision. "She just felt like minorities are all the same -- they don't know anything, they're not intelligent, they're not educated," says Reid, a retired real estate agent who once ran his own business with nearly two dozen employees. "If she had known my background, I don't think she would have treated me that way."

I don't know about you, but I call total CRAP! How ignorant can one person be? If you want racism to be dead and gone, then stop blaming everything on it! DUH! Oh and Whooopppeeed freekin do! Your a REAL ESTATE AGENT, I know one and he is a total tool! Your not Downald Trump hahhaha

PEACE!
