- mjbeswick 6y agoI wonder how much her size contributed to experience of discrimination, as it is well established that clinicians often have less empathy towards overweight individuals?
- jabrethornton 6y agoThat is a really good question. I think that there are so many biases people have against each other that we rarely consider. Physicians are not immune from such psychological biases and that is very scary to think about.

All hospitals can do is try and prevent external infections while providing oxygen, but patient status worsening to the point of requiring ventilation is a death sentence no matter the color of your skin.
