Black Children Less Likely to Get Pain Meds in ER


Black Children Less Likely to Get Pain Meds in ER

Black children seen in the emergency department for abdominal pain are less likely to receive pain medication than white children, according to a new study.

  1. Not surprising.
    Empirical proof that a white man does not feel a black man's pain.
    Was this the problem during Katrina? We watched the black folks in dire conditions, yet we did not feel their pain.
    What of the black man who sues for great suffering from a serious car accident? Our mostly white jury awards him half what it awards a white man.
    Is this half justice, for the same degree of pain? Topped off only by the anguish of unfairness.
    Vehemently disagree? How about trying being black -- just one day -- in our white man's world.
