  • I appreciate that, and I want to offer hopefully a more positive outlook. These topics are becoming standard courses in the US medical school curriculum, as in they have to be taught to medical students.

    It won’t solve every problem, of course, but the curriculum is way more patient-oriented than it used to be instead of being a simple “solve disease” kind of curriculum, which is what most of the doctors you see today are taught with.

    I rarely comment on lemmy, but I had to say something against the few people who were saying these experiences aren’t valid.

    Discrimination is real, and don’t assume Doctors are perfect because they’re not. Of course be open-minded and don’t be antagonistic to the ones who are legitimately trying to help you, but if you feel your care wasn’t great, then that’s very likely a failure on the physician’s part.


  • For anyone doubting these experiences, I am a US medical student, and implicit biases and racism are big topics we are taught and made aware of due to physicians profiling their patient whether intentionally or not.

    This is especially common in the ER where many people without PCPs come in for issues that are generally handled by a PCP. One of the more difficult things that physicians struggle with is balancing time with the quality of care they provide to their patients. Profiling makes the “time” component easy, but obviously that results in very poor quality healthcare.

    No one should be doubting people’s experiences of racism and discrimination in the ER and beyond. Doctors are people too, and the bigoted behavior you see in other professions are just as likely to appear with your doctor.

    On average, it’s definitely more expensive, but if you’re not going for the best of the best, then you can build a strong SFF PC at a reasonable price.

    A lot of SFF cases (<20L) are enthusiast, boutique cases like the FormD T1 ($265 USD w/o tax), but there have been more mainstream cases like the Cooler Master NR200, Fractal Design Terra, Fractal Design Ridge, and more that are around the $100 USD mark.

    Mobo options are limited compared to your usual ATX options and don’t get discounted anywhere as much, so if you want a specific one with a lot of features, you’ll have to pay up.

    Then, SFX PSUs have their own SFF tax for being small. Depending on the size of your case, you’ll want custom PSU cables that are shorter than the stock cables.

    Everything else is about the same, except you have more limited choices to buy from.
