The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of trust in healthcare, a privilege not afforded to all. BIPOC women, in particular, are often marginalized in the medical system, facing life-threatening risks due to misdiagnosis and lack of proper care. The article sheds light on the systemic racism within healthcare that leads to the mistreatment of BIPOC women, using personal accounts and statistical data to illustrate the gravity of the situation.
One prominent example is Serena Williams' post-birth complications, where her legitimate concerns were initially dismissed by medical professionals. This incident is emblematic of the broader issue of medical practitioners disregarding the pain and symptoms reported by BIPOC women.
Statistically, Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die after childbirth compared to white women, often due to their pain being dismissed. South Asian and East Asian women also encounter skepticism when reporting symptoms, contributing to a reluctance to seek care. There is a concerning lack of data on Indigenous women, which suggests their experiences are being overlooked.
The author shares a personal experience of misdiagnosis, echoing the challenges faced by many BIPOC women in receiving adequate medical attention. The story underscores the systemic issue of healthcare professionals not taking the pain and concerns of BIPOC women seriously, leading to dangerous health outcomes.
Some BIPOC women are turning to BIPOC physicians or alternative medicine for more empathetic care. However, the author argues that the ultimate solution lies in integrating racially and culturally empathetic training into all medical education to ensure that high-quality healthcare is recognized as a fundamental human right for everyone.
