“WHITE” AND “OTHERS THAT CLAIM TO BE WHITE” MEDICAL PEOPLE ARE “PURPOSELY” CAUSING, ALLOWING, AND EVEN ASSISTING WITHIN THE “HEALTHCARE/MEDICAL GENOCIDAL MURDERS/KILLINGS OF PEOPLE OF COLOR(S).
“MEDICAL/HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS” ARE ACTING LIKE THEY ARE “PUZZLED/PERPLEXED” ABOUT SUCH “BLATANT MORTALITY RATES” AMONG BLACK/BROWN/AND OTHER COLORS OF SKINS, OF PEOPLE, AND YET, OVER AND OVER, WHEN I USED TO PUBLICLY SPEAK, I ENCOURAGED YOUTHS OF COLOR(S) TO BECOME RESEARCHERS, MEDICAL AND BIO-MEDICAL MASTERS AND MEDICAL AND LEGAL PERSONS..SOME THINGS “OTHER” THAN TRADITIONAL CAREERS AS HAIR CARE/BARBERS/BEAUTICIANS/HOSPITALITY WORKERS/RESTAURANT WORKERS. ETC…
WITHIN THE “SCHOOL SYSTEMS, OUR “YOUTHS ARE STILL SO MOSTLY BEING STEERED TOWARDS THOSE “TRADITIONS OF CAREERS”, AND HARDLY EVER ENCOURAGED TO BE RESEARCHERS, MEDICAL AND BIO-MEDICAL MASTERS AND MEDICAL AND LEGAL PERSONS. FRIENDS OF MINE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME ABOUT CERTAIN “MEDICAL FACILITIES IN THE TEXAS AREAS THAT ARE “KILLING” PEOPLE OF COLORS, AT ALARMING RATES AS COMPARED TO WHITE/CAUCASIAN PEOPLE.
FINALLY: “IF” WE WERE/ARE TO GET “REAL/TRUE/TRUTH” DATA AND STATISTICS MEASURED AND INVESTIGATED: ITS “BY-THE-NUMBERS” AND I HAVE ALWAYS STATED” THAT “GENETICALLY SPEAKING”: MANY WHITE/CAUCASIAN MEDICAL DOCTORS CANNOT EQUITABLY MEDICALLY CARE FOR “PEOPLE OF COLORS!

Data shows maternal mortality is affecting women in the United States at an alarming rate, particularly Black women. Black mothers-to-be are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2021, the maternal mortality rate for non-Hispanic Black women was 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births.
Dr. Gabrielle Whitmore, a UCHealth Obstetrics and Gynecology specialist, is hoping that through education, we can work to remedy the issue.
“It’s so sad that in 2023, we are still addressing these issues. It breaks my heart as a woman of color and especially as a woman of color in OB-GYN. We are now calling it the Black maternal health crisis,” she told CBS News Colorado’s Mekialaya White.
As a minimally invasive surgeon, Whitmore sees it daily but says this crisis has come to light in the last couple of years. “I think it’s multifactorial. There are layers and layers of historical context related to how we perceive healthcare and our patients.”
Health inequities, mistreatment, and underlying chronic conditions all contribute to the problem. Whitmore also points to the lack of standardization in health care.
“During pregnancy, there’s a lot of variability. Here in Colorado, you have private practices, county hospitals, the academic center, then you think about the care provided nationally and it varies. And then the other side that we can’t ignore is there are implicit biases that occur that perpetuate our systemic and structural racism that occur,” Whitmore said. “We need to open the line of communication with our patients so we can provide the best care and they can have the best outcomes.”
She says the solution is working to remove barriers.
“It’s acknowledging that they exist, that these things do happen. There are things working against us, so I think the biggest thing is having an open communication with providers. It’s really having those convos, like why are we worried about my blood pressure? How can it affect me and my pregnancy? And providers, talking about the risks associated. Saying, how do we support our patients? Do you have enough support at home mentally and physically? Do you have transportation? Patients get written off saying they aren’t showing up for their appointments, but why? Do they not have access to transportation? Do they have childcare concerns that we are not looking into?”
UCHealth staff asks those questions of their patients, Whitmore says. “We’re also trying to create a model where they’re not seeing so many different providers all the time, having to re-tell their stories. That can create a system of distrust so we’re trying to make it into a smaller pool. So, they have a team of providers to support them through their delivery.”

SOOO: WHEN EXAMINING THESE “MEDICAL STATISTICS/DATA MINES/SOURCES/FACTS, ALL OVER THE USA, AND THE WORLD: THE FACTS ARE MEASURED AND REALLY REVEALING THAT “MEDICAL INSURANCE REDLINING” AND “MEDICAL MURDERS” ARE JUST PARTS OF THE “HUMAN GENOCIDAL ETHICS” THAT ARE “IN-PLAY” TO CONTRIBUTE TO “MASSIVE MEDICAL MURDERS/DEATHS OF/FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR(S), GLOBAL WIDE, ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE MAIN “SKIN-SHADE HATRED” NATIONS/CITIES/STATES!!
BOTTOM LINE IS: WE NEED MUCH MORE “MEDICAL PROS OF COLORS AND ESPECIALLY MORE FEMALE CAREGIVERS/MEDICAL GIVERS!!!
