Show Notes
This is a topic close to my heart and is important to address for patients and medical staff.
Race is a sociological construct and differs from ancestry.
It has a surprising impact in medicine, both in terms of care and outcomes for patients. In addition racism
needs stamping out in the medical profession in all corners.
