Very enlightening and well produced

This podcast was very informative, eye opening, and inspiring. It is heartbreaking to hear of the biases in the medical field, and that it goes far beyond what I’d previously been aware of. I am not a medical professional, nor a person of color. However, I do work on the outskirts of medical care and patient support, and will take this knowledge to help encourage the patients I encounter that are of color to educate themselves, and advocate to be heard, for their care and treatment. Thank you for this production, and education!!

We all must address our bias

As a person in healthcare, this podcast made me acknoledge my own bias. Racism runs deep in every part of our lives. To change we must confront ourselves. Who, at the core ,do we want to be?

Great Disclosures

Loved it. So relevant for today, however was difficult at times to understand the heavy accent.

Found this astounding and very disturbing

New information about how bad systemic racism really is in the U. K. And the U.S.A.
I hope this valuable program gets a huge distribution.

eye opening!

I found this to be an honest, unbiased account of our healthcare system. anyone one with any sort of underlying medical condition knows the insert flap A into slot B protocols involved with medicine. I have never heard of anyone else putting it into words before.

Interesting but in itself very biased.

Very interesting information, however lost my enthusiasm as the story was very one sided. Though I expected it to be it would have been helpful to here positive progress that have been made in a flawed system. As well, as a white person I have to wonder what the authors bias’ are, since he limps me with all whites of history as being racial biased.

Hard to hear at times

This book became dreary after a while. The sad truth is that my health is my responsibility and as a older citizen I spend time educating my self on how to stay healthy and active to avoid the clutches of our medical area

Another family member has prime healthcare and I've seen this person a victim of unnecessary tests and procedures; sometimes destructive by doctors of color. This was because they had good healthcare.

Don't be a victim.

The narration was difficult to understand at times.
