https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d Our work this year is to learn about the human body and how to keep ourselves healthy...all of us. For healthcare equity to be achieved, we need to understand the past, the gaps in our understanding, and how to implement the solutions so needed. This year, we will continue to add to this slideshow as we explore healthcare through racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender lenses. We hope you learn something and help to bring about change. This timeline is the work of Dr. O'Brien's C Block class. en-us 2022-10-23 18:34:50 UTC 2022-10-24 16:43:18 UTC hello@padlet.com jennifer_obrien https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2352513112 This podcast episode from the 1619 Project gave us insight into the long history of racial health disparities in the US. -Dr. OB]]> 2022-10-23 18:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2352513112 https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2353929586 The study was originally intended to research treatments for Syphilis in Black men, known in those communities as "bad blood." ]]> 2022-10-24 16:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2353929586 https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2353931255 Despite the fact that Penicillin was an effective treatment it was not used on those in the study.]]> 2022-10-24 16:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2353931255 https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2353931549 Retin-A was introduced in 1971 by Dr. Kligman, the man who experimented on black inmates at the Philadelphia prisons. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2353931549 https://padlet.com/jennifer_obrien/f5w9n97oii20o10d/wish/2353932729 In Puerto Rico, during the 1930's up until the 1970's had 1/3 of the female population forcefully sterilization.

-Black patients would be put in separate hospitals than White people or be cared for in the basements of the White hospitals. This satisfied the AMA because they were having "equal" treatment (although of lesser quality) but separately from the White people. 

Poor White/Black people? Had to pay out of pocket or not receive medical care at all because they did not have medical insurance. Medical insurance came from their employers.
