The talk was recorded. Within months it was being used in medical schools as a case study in implicit bias and standard-of-care violations. I received hundreds of emails from patients describing their own experiences of being dismissed, mocked, undertreated, or sent home when something serious was wrong. Some were heartbreaking in their familiarity. A Black woman whose postpartum pain was brushed off until she became septic. A teenager with endometriosis told for years that she was dramatic. A veteran with a bowel obstruction labeled drug-seeking because he had track marks from old injuries and looked “rough.” The specifics varied. The structure did not.
