Black newborns 3 times more likely to die when looked after by White doctors

10. I hope that if physicians (regardless of race) are made aware of this statistic,

they will ask themselves serious questions.

If I was a GP, pediatrician, or ER doc, I would be checking my own statistics. If my statistics were equally skewed, I would be very concerned.

I recommend that everyone (regardless of race) should take the Harvard Implicit Bias test. I found the result enlightening. Don't assume that just because you are a progressive, you don't have some implicit bias. You cannot address a problem you do not know exists.

I keep saying "regardless of race" because from the studies I have read, implicit bias against AA exists among AA professionals, if to a lesser degree.
