This is interesting, I couldn’t read the article that the WaPo references since it is paywalled, but lots of doctors today are ethnically Asian and Indian - can the experiment be extrapolated to this doctors too?
I’ve seen also some calls to the need of training more Black doctors to address inequalities in the healthcare due to racial biases. Should this also be extended to other races or ethnicities? (e.g Iranians, Vietnamese, Latinx, Greeks) Should we maintain a ratio of doctors according to race percentages? What should we do with those ethnicities that are over represented in medicine, should we curtail them? What do we do with mixed race patients?
