We lost another doctor today
To COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her...
She called the patient advocate...
She called the chief medical officer...

She was in pain and ignored
Fellow docs got her into another hospital...
It was too late..
She passed away today
The system failed her.
It failed us...
Anyone want to guess the race of this doctor?

I'm pissed cause she didnt have to die like that
Her pain was dismissed
She was discharged WITHOUT being stable and was readmitted to another hospital because she was too scared to go back to the first hospital...

She had to advocate for herself and was STILL ignored.
Do you see how terrifying this is for people who don't have a voice???

COVID took Dr Susan Moore
The system was complicit in her demise
Rest in peace, sis. We will continue to fight in your memory

SAME HEALTH SYSTEM that Dr Chaniece Wallace died in after giving birth to her first baby...
What is going on in Indiana???

@ZDoggMD

I appreciate all of the traction this has gotten...especially to bring attention to something many of us in healthcare know too well....RACE is NOT the risk factor....RACISM is...
Some have asked what can you do???
BE LOUD, BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY ANTIRACIST
SPEAK UP
BE THE VOICE

Be willing to say the words.
Make those in power uncomfortable and to ACKNOWLEDGE the system is WRONG!
Be a champion for anti bias training and cultural sensitivity
It doesn't have to be like this people....
I want to believe we are better than this...
