Data published Tuesday in the British Medical Journal also showed a large gender gap. White female physicians earned 40 percent less than white men, and black women earned less still.

Need real data...you know, that word with which poorly educated NSM cretins are unfamiliar.

This smells to high heaven of typical “pick up any poorly researched crap and publish it” syndrome.

My God, White should just ******* die already.

Wait a few years. That's the message that young kids are getting.

And almost all judges are black or female, or black females.

Using the color of skin to compare salaries... is racist. Lo and behold... they do what they accuse Trump of doing.

Hot Damn. Does this mean my local hospital can get surgeons and doctors as good as Dr. Ben Carson for 3/5s the price???

Folks, we just solved the medical cost problem. Hire ONLY black doctors.

Actually I’m in the pharma industry and I can tell you the reasons for this is because the black docs handle more Medicaid because of the neighborhoods they practice in, example Camden NJ vs Cherry Hill or Marlton

I don’t go to black doctors, foreign doctors, or female doctors, for various reasons that seem good to me.

Have had all three in ER visits, and all were non-understandable, had an attitude, or seem to be trying to prove something.

Assuming others share those opinions, and insofar as the black population is about 13% of the country, the difference in I some explains itself.

They’re planning on it, in case you haven’t figured that out.

Of course they earn less.

Typically blacks go to HBUC’s then onto either a DO or a lower tier Medical school. Then they go with a 2nd or 3rd tier residency because that is where their scores and their grades (if their school assigns grades).

Your college/university drives your med school choices. Your med school choices drive your residencies. Your residency drives your fellowship. All that combines to drive your employment.

Not rocket science by any means.

No one is guaranteed an equal salary with anuone else, no one is guaranteed clients either.

This sh1t is just ridiculous.

I keep hearing ads on the radio from a black doctor selling “tesstosserone” shots.

I wonder how he’s doing.

My Dr. quit treating Medicaid patients about 15 years ago.

He recently told me that in doing so, he lost 25% of his patients, which would be a death sentence to most private practices.

As it turned out, he says he didn’t lose a single dime by dropping them.

FYI water ice can have any temperature below its melting point. Maybe Titan is a White Man's World, where water ice plays the role of granite in its geology.

My father had a very good doctor who was from Pakistan (who unfortunately died before my father so he had to find another doctor)--I presume he was raised as a Muslim but I don't know if he still was one.

Of course one swallow doesn't make a summer...

Since it’s been years since I’ve seen a doctor who’s not Indian, I suppose there is some problem here with sample size.
