Composition & Rhetoric II
Abstract
When needing medical services, the last thing that comes to mind is that you will be treated differently because of your racial or cultural background. Well believe or not racial bias is very common everywhere we go and in the medical field it can determine the quality of treatment you will receive. But many people might wonder why does this type of bias exists especially in the medical field when you expect to get treated equally to some of a different racial or skin color. Well one reason that is supported by data is communication issues between the patient and the nurse or doctor that is treating the person. So I ask myself is that being bias.
Unequal Medical Treatments
In this essay I will be discussing examples of racial bias in the medical field. I will explain how being a different race effect the quality of medical treatment that received furthermore I will present the data that supports that communication could being one of the reason why this bias often happens. I will also explain what culture has to do with the communication issue. Lastly through this research will find some method or changes that can be implemented to get rid of the barriers so everyone can receive the same quality of medical treatment.
