medical field response

My response to the text on page 213 is in agreement with the author. The author Rahul K. Parikh who is a medical doctor knows a lot when it comes to the people he has seen and treated. According to Rahul, African Americans are being a victim of racism in the medical field and sometimes not even being treated for any of their diseases. I hope that more and more blacks can be able to afford the costly but beneficial health insurance so they can get their problems fixed. I am fortunate to be healthy and live well enough to go to the doctor if I need too. I wish that the Medical field would train all the doctors with the same material to know how to handle all patients with varying problems. Even though the studies in the text article are good resources there are many poorer white and other raced people who cannot afford healthcare insurance to go get their routine checkup at the doctor. There are also blacks that are very wealthy that go to the doctor’s office. I think this article is true in regards to the studies, but also lacks sources of other examples of other races such as Hispanic or Caucasian who cannot afford to see a doctor. The paragraph that mentions that hospitals are in tough urban areas should be used to the lower income patients and be more familiar with them. The hospitals could give discounts to attract more people that need help. The doctors should not judge people by their skin color but as an individual no matter the financial situation.
