The C.O.W.S. w/ Dr. Augustus A. White III - Mar 30,2011

Published: March 31, 2011, 2 a.m.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Augustus A. White. The Ellen and Melvin Gordon Distinguished Professor of Medical Education and Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Harvard Medical School, Dr. White is an extraordinarily accomplished medical doctor educator. He was raised in Tennessee where he experienced immense Racism in all areas of people activity - including health care. We'll discuss his 2011 publication: Seeing Patients: A Surgeon’s Story of Race and Medical Bias. He describes a particularly painful experience where he witnessed a black female - who he happened to know - die on the operating table. Dr. White writes about the tone the White doctor used prior to the fatal procedure: "Get on the table, Janet," he said to her. "Be quick about it. We don't have all day." Then he went off to scrub. That was the kind of tone, brimming with disrespect and dismissal, that just set my teeth on edge." #WorkplaceRacism INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
