"Died at the scene"?
This was a suicide bombing & terrorism where someone filled an RV with explosives, parked it in front of key infrastructure, while he was inside. They were not initially sure if the "tissue" found was human or not to ID him.
Why not call it what it is?

I am feeling SO exhausted this morning.
Add the media coverage of Dr. Moore describes her as "complaining" as opposed to "reporting" or "identifying." Then the hospital's response is to describe her as "intimidating" to nurses as "knowledgeable"

The words we use matter. How much caution do we use, with whom, when? What tropes or associations are invoked? How does that populate the "data" in our brains that fill certain "buckets"? Who "complains" or "intimidates" vs "we don't know all the facts"

This was a reported from major outlets like @thehill just a couple of days before Christmas.
Yet we're told unless a manifesto is found, we can't use the word terrorism to describe a man blowing himself up in a way that took down key infrastructure?

When in the hospital, I had a nurse say to me, about someone else (not realizing I am Muslim, likely), "It is only Muslims who strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up "as justification for why people fear Muslims. Doctors can be as biased so not unique to this nurse.
What beliefs people hold when the go into a room to care has got to impact care for that patient. If you truly think some patients are worthy of fear or maybe disgust, can you deliver the same quality? Discussed with with @becker_sbecker on #podcast here: go.beckershospitalreview.com/scott-becker-i…
This is NOT the conversation I want to be having with @becker_sbecker to be honest. I want to discuss #healthcarefinance, #incentives, #AI I want to fix the system, not get stuck in identity. But am I allowed to be anything more than your perception of me?

That tweet was in a thread within a thread..now within another thread. I used to be that "model minority" who just quietly took it, did not "complain" and worked 3x as hard for less pay. But I have important things to get done and all this gets in my way.

I just can't tolerate these measurable results of harm anymore. To be fair, I did not even know about these before.
"First do not harm."
Why, then is there so much harm that study after study shows breaks down according to racial lines?

We will continue to harm Black, brown & other marginalized groups as patients unless we stop with this double standard in reporting and descriptions.
We will continue to block the value & talent of BIPOC as experts as well.
This is not about "being PC"
