Emma Ansah reports on a deeply troubling case out of Ontario where a Black woman experiencing ongoing chest pain was dismissed by a medical specialist, despite her repeatedly saying she was concerned.
From delayed diagnoses to pain being minimized or outright ignored, racial bias in healthcare continues to put Black women at risk.
Key questions we’re asking:
- Why are Black women’s symptoms so often downplayed?
- How many “it’s nothing” moments turn into emergencies later?
- Who holds specialists accountable when bias interferes with care?
