Also, their first example is a horrible example. Patient in a coma contrary to what is portrayed in media, don’t stay in hospitals. It seemed like the first hospital was trying to work with the family but could not. They normally go to subacute facilities or home. Patients can’t live in hospitals. If they did, we wouldn’t be able to treat anyone.
Second case though, AV. That’s fucked. We treat no matter the status and don’t really ask unless they tell us and want assistance. Social workers in CA very good with resource linking and helping people return to community.
Honestly, I think unfortunately gender/sex does play a factor, in addition to race. If this administration has taught us anything, is that there is that much hate within our country.
Also think of cultures where historically their culture doesnt value women. Even if there are people who immigrated here, some still may never vote for a woman. Some will decline because they are racist. While we are all Americans, we are deeply deeply divided ATM :(
This is without even factoring the candidates political platform in yet.
