Description

My take on what went down at the Journal of the American Medical Association. I don't support the comment there isn't "structural racism in health care", but the backlash was an over-reaction. Can we have discussions about the controversial issues that affect healthcare (like gun violence or abortion) without cancel culture cancelling the people who want to have nuanced discussions? The backlash should have been productive dialogue in a field where every MD/DO/PA/NP by definition has an advanced degree. Nowadays the reaction is to go after the jobs of people that didn't even make the comment (even if they came out with statements opposing the comment).
