from that website it show about a man who use to work for the nhs and said how balck pateient were injected with hiv...i mean what are your opinon on this

she is from america and is a student in the uk but black

Answer 1

aren't there black doctors in the uk? Yes, in the united states there is a pervasive fear of the medical establishment among black people. black people have unwittingly become medical test subjects in many instances before, during and after the TUSKEGEE EXPERIMENT. Including forced sterilization (see Fannie Lou Hamer - civil rights). She should go to a black doctor if she feels any weird vibes and yes she should trust her guts. Never let anyone tell you racism in the medical establishment doesn't exist. Perhaps not to the extent of previous years, but it does exist. Recent studies indicated that a white patient and a black patient with the same symptomology will be treated differently. White patients with heart disease symtomology were more likely to get referrals, extensive testing, than blacks with the same symptomology. Tell your friend not to allow injections and see if she can find a doctor who is not white.

Answer 2

One of the main things included in this article that trips the questionability alert in my head is the fact that this person before he died had multiple strokes. This brings into question whether these allegations were from a correctly and rationally thinking mind. It is known that any type of stroke no matter how small does some damage to the brain. In simple words these allegations who'd have come from nothing more than a form of stroke induced schizophrenia.
If any medical facility throughout the civilized world has allocations such as these leveled against them a investigative process trips immediately anyway. You can add to this the fact that practices such as these are so heinously against the Hippocratic oath that any doctor or nurse should not be able to live with themselves after inflicting such harm.
I personally do not have medical information on this gentleman to look at and come to determination of the soundness of his mind; but the allegations are so far-fetched as to make themselves instantly in question in my mind.

Answer 3

I don't see the connection between the information in the link and your friends decision whether or not to get an STD test. Does she think they will do the test badly because she is black or something? I think the article refers to racism towards people who WORK in the NHS.

Tell your friend to go ahead and get the test - far worse things come from undiagnosed STD's than some strangers work problems. PS - if his allegations were true we'd have known about it - anyway STD tests don't involve injections although if she wants an AIDS test they will draw blood - NOT inject anything.

Answer 4

Oh my god! tell that poor girl to go to the nearest G U clinic and have a check up. Its free and confidential. There will be no racism at all promise

Answer 5

if she is worried she has got something she must go for thr test as soon as posible I can not see why there should be racism but then I do not live in the us. it is imbarising for any one to have to go to such a clinic but better to be safe than sorry

Answer 6

there is not much rasism here in the US i guess. It matters where u live.

Answer 7

huh?
