"While it is generally accepted that race is a social construct, in 2023, blood services in countries such as the US, UK and others continue to call specifically for Black blood donors to save Black patients."

"The use of racially offensive language among healthcare workers is another illustration of the reality of racial prejudice in healthcare. While there doesn’t appear to be much formal research regarding overt bias among healthcare professionals, there is increasing evidence of this online."

IT’S TIME TO STOP RACIALIZING BLOOD DONATION

A unified, non-racial approach to is more practical; it avoids further marginalization of Black people; and promotes a culture of inclusiveness rather than separation.

SOME SCIENTISTS OF COLOR STILL THINK RACE IS REAL

"I recently became aware of the surprisingly high number of mainstream scientists who are publishing articles that focus on genetic explanations of racial health inequalities. This is something that flies in the face of what has been known for some time — that there is no scientific basis for race..."

RACE-BASED MEDICINE IS A LEGACY OF SLAVERY

"Medicine needs to move into the 21st century by acknowledging that health differences between different ethnic groups are largely due to social inequality, not genetics."

BLACK PSYCHOTHERAPY:

OBSERVATIONS OF BLACK PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS

"In 2023, there has been no significant progress in making psychotherapy relevant for Black clients. Similar to many other policy issues affecting Black communities, these inequities are well-documented; there is more than enough evidence of deep-seated injustices. Thus, moving forward, the focus must be on real, meaningful, tangible change."

This is a really important study. Glad I found it.

Sense of coherence or self-efficacy as predictors of health-related quality of life in sickle cell disease patients discovery.researcher.life/arti

This study can lead to deeper mental health analyses of patients that can promote more efficacious treatment. It is difficult to have a sense of control of one's life and capacity to advocate and work for oneself when one is in constant pain, and often tethered geographically by their ability to get to the hospital in case of emergency. Plus, many would want to keep going to their preferred providers, so that results in a lot of staying near home.

Academic Research Reading: Personalised Research Discovery - R Discovery

In today's news:

Association Between Vaso-Occlusive Crises and Opioid Prescriptions Among Patients with Sickle Cell Disease: A Retrospective Claims-Based Study discovery.researcher.life/arti

The conclusion makes sense to me, because as we age, the body breaks down from the constant ischemic moments that accumulate over time.

I’ll deal with the educational issues in a different thread. But assuming you can get Black and Brown students through middle school and high school with the academic preparation they need, and then through the college level medical gatekeepers, here’s what people are doing for the pipeline: healthline.com/health/we-need- In even the complex medical field we all can make a difference somewhere. Pick your spot and get to work. 10/10

Finally, on the issue of improving Black health by increasing the number of Black doctor, there are organizations working on increasing the flow of the pipeline. Of course, this issue is connected with one of the other factors for Black communities: poor access to quality educational experiences. As I pointed out before the factors that lead to instability in a community are all connected. 9/10
