A doctor is supposed to be a person the patient can trust and rely on that their judgment is the best, and that they are receiving the best and equal treatment as all other patients. However, this sometimes doesn’t happen, and it wasn’t done intentionally by their doctor. The text mentions a study that was preformed in 2002 Lane and colleges. In this specific study was about when children arrive in an emergency room for fractures the physicians must always see if they believe the fracture was caused due to child abuse. When taking a close look at the reports of the physicians “of the minority children 108 (55 percent) were judged likely to have accidental injuries, while of the white children (76 percent) were likely to have had accidental injuries.” (275) This shows that the majority of the fractures reported of being caused by child abuse was minority …show more content…
In the scripts there where two different types of patients one in which the information given was low risk for heart disease and one who is at high risk for heart disease. Also, there symptoms for one indicated the cheat pain was due to heart disease and the other suggesting the chest pain was not likely due to heart disease. They were also give n the rest results preformed on the individual patients. Thus, the researchers were ab le to compare physician’s responses to patients with exactly the same type of disease who differ only in their race. This is how in the Schulman study was able compare the disparity present.
(B) The Schulman study soon became one of the most controversy studies. This study is very controverts because at a glance when comparing whites and blacks as a whole together there is no significant difference of how the physicians responded to the patients. Implying there is no real bias occurring. However, when looking close to the finds is shows “that the physicians referred black women less often than the other groups”.(260) Which leads to the controversy is this proof of racial
