Studies have found that Black people are prescribed less pain medication by medical staff than white patients too. So your best bet if you get sick is to try your hardest to be a white man, otherwise you might be fucked.
Not that long ago, a shocking number of MED STUDENTS (close to 50%. No joke.) thought that people with black skin had fewer nerve endings/felt less pain.

FUCKIN MED STUDENTS.
It also use to be taught in med school that new born babies couldn’t feel pain.
In a survey of newborn babies, when asked if they had felt pain during abdominal surgery, almost 100% declined to comment.
Surely the solution is a massive increase in female doctors of color?
