"There’s more and more emphasis to thinking about the ways bias shapes the way we hear our patients."

A quote from Dr. Elizabeth Howell, professor and director of the Women’s Health Research Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York, that ends the NYT article "For Serena Williams, Childbirth Was a Harrowing Ordeal."

The details of the complications of childbirth for Serena Williams really are harrowing, and there is some reason to think the medical personnel were not appropriately responsive to her needs:

On Sept. 2, the day after giving birth to her daughter via cesarean section, Ms. Williams was having trouble breathing and “immediately assumed she was having another pulmonary embolism,” the [Vogue] article says.

She alerted a nurse to what she felt was happening in her body, but the nurse suggested that pain medication had perhaps left Ms. Williams confused, according to Vogue. Ms. Williams insisted, but a doctor instead performed an ultrasound of her legs.

“I was like, a Doppler?” Ms. Williams, 36, told the medical team. “I told you, I need a CT scan and a heparin drip.”

When the ultrasound revealed nothing, she underwent a CT scan, which showed several small blood clots in her lungs. She was immediately put on the heparin drip. “I was like, listen to Dr. Williams!” she told the doctors.

Can you imagine having Serena Williams under your care and giving her the very best treatment? Reading between the lines, I can see that it's possible that she was such a demanding and bossy patient that they didn't jump at every single thing she said. But the NYT uses the story to speculate about racial bias in the delivery of medical care. I'm not saying that's not an important issue — it is! — and having a celebrity face on a medical problem is often what you need to get attention.
