If a black doctor discovers a cure for cancer, ain't no hospital going to lock him out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hospitals are about healing.
Just being a Negro doesn't qualify you to understand the race situation any more than being sick makes you an expert on medicine.
Black patients were treated much later in their disease process. They were often not given the same kind of pain management that white patients would have gotten and they died more often of diseases.
When the patient loves his disease, how unwilling he is to allow a remedy to be applied.
The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease. What the public is taught is that health is the cure for disease.
A transfer of money should never be involved in this profound situation. Although illness is profound, too, but medicine's a business today. It's a business.
I would welcome processes that eliminate the need for doctors. We bottle-neck things around doctors, and it's not a good way of doing things.
You can die of the cure before you die of the illness.
In too many cases, the moms, the dads, the sisters and brothers of children with cancer must stand by a hospital bed and watch helplessly as this horrible disease consumes the life of an innocent child.
We're not going to find a magic cure for cancer. We've got to prevent it.
