The topic I chose for the library assignment was racism in medical treatment. I felt that this topic comes up in the novel, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Slot multiple clock and also relates to the theme voice which is what we have been focusing on in our First-Year Experience class. rase though the time of racism is over, there ar still acts of discrimination in the field of medicine.Many actors and hitherto more, patients, have been treated unfairly based on their race. Patients have been misdiagnosed or given a counterfeit diagnosis in order for the doctors to make money off of them because the doctor could care less somewhat their health. Discrimination also causes the patients to act differently because of their race. This relates to the theme, voice because some people who are discriminated against are unable to properly defend themselves leaving them without a voice Just like HenriettaLacks. This topic is elicit to me because before I read this book I didnt give any of this much thought. I didnt echo that doctors, people that are there to help us, would discriminate against people and treat them differently. It made me want to do more research and see how many people have gone through things like this. 1 . What evidence can we find that shows acts of racism In the book? 2. What outside evidence is there of racial discrimination In medical treatment 3.
