The whistleblowers also allege Dr. Alexander Eastman was already under investigation for trying to procure narcotics for a friend who worked as a chopper pilot for the border agency.

    You’re right. It does lower their percentage.

    You’re still laboring on the notion that you’re one of their in-group. This is not true of everyone.

    Which, i guess, means you’re perfectly happy saying “they’re a great doctor, as long as you’re [not something they don’t like.]”

      When my life is on the line, I’m not making a stand over how the doctor treats others. I spend plenty of effort fighting for minority rights that are of no direct benefit to me (apart from living in a better society, but I’m old enough I’m never going to see that better society), and I’ll do more of that if I live.

      This is all hypothetical anyway because they person with lower survival rates is far more likely to be the racist than the more successful doctor to be a racist savant. Even if he was, 70% success with minority patients and 100% success with white men makes that a no-brainer when I’m part of the in group.

      What does taking a stand even get anyone? So I go to a less effective doctor and die while someone who gives zero fucks about racism takes my slot and lives. Is that some kind of win? For whom?

        I rescind my last statement officially. He’s a douchebag who I would only be happy to see if I’m bleeding out on the side of the road. Then I’ll take his pain lollipops and life saving measures. How’s that?
