About a month ago, the Journal of the American Medical Association made a splash with a podcast about structural racism in medicine. Ironically, the podcast (and accompanying tweet) were racist — in a way that many white people don’t understand (by design).
I rage-tweeted about it, then rage-taught about it, then rage-wrote about it. Hopefully you’ll find the analysis level-headed but the rage still simmering, just below the surface.
You can read the essay over at Somatosphere.
If you’d like to use the essay in teaching, you might consider having students read this transcript I created while working on the essay. (I made the first draft of the transcript with otter.ai, so I guess I can’t claim to have rage-transcribed.)
