Another thing that isn't surprising in the NHS

This was first pointed out back in the 80s and it appears nothing has changed.

It seems extraordinary to me that things I have personally known for half a century are only just being ‘discovered’ by the State.

Is there anything to do but 🤷🏽‍♀️?

Outrageous. It's time to defund this racist institution and go private.

Everyone knows this without having a study commissioned but hopefully this was done so formal action to effect change can be taken.

All this will do is increase health inequalities.

A race to the bottom will not help. We need to improve things. How? I don't know.

This issue was/ is obvious, but now we have a study to confirm it.

Oh there is a report out about doctors that has been publicised - www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61792140

Ridiculous, many people are in dire financial straits.

Going privately for medical treatments is a thing I can't afford and on principle disagree with; as the astronomical bills paid in the USA for even just being seated in the waiting room are becoming the norm
If I'm not happy with whats going on when I attend an appointment I let them know
that as a black woman I expected/felt I should've got better?
I'm not afraid to ask questions either; as that's my perogative and It's my body
I'm sure you'd get racists in the private sector too; it's just your money will talk
But still, I understand, what with waiting lists and if you've something truly serious to contend with you'd want immediate action
An essential pot luck bag for many flavoured with racism is what the NHS now is unfortunately.
