I thoroughly enjoyed reading your forum post because I also loved the structure of Tweedy’s narrative. He describes personal anecdotes and then utilizes statistics to support his stories, while also leading the narrative into issues of racial disparities. I feel that doctors must care for each patient on an individual basis and disregard socioeconomic or racial identifications, as the most optimal care puts the patient’s health and comfort over everything else. However, this is a very hard thing to accomplish because social and economic factors do play a huge role in the process of receiving care. Keep up the great work!
