There’s a lack of better doctors in publicc/municipal hospitals and of those they have, are of Middle-Eastern(Arabs), Asians(Indian/Bangladesh/Pakistan) and African(Africa) stock. Most of these kinds are less than ideal and have language barriers. Public/Municipal hospitals cite diversity as the reason they recruit these kinds, and while some people have no problems with these clinicians, not many like myself of my culture and heritage(I’m Hispanic/Latino and European) are comfortable with these kinds.
As a patient seeing a doctor, I am most comfortable with doctors of Anglo speaking and European stock. It is one thing to have diversity, but what about integration? It is one thing to have diversity, but they need to have integration as well. One doesn’t work without the other especially in public/municipal hospital adult medical clinics. Case in point. At North Brooklyn, New York’s Woodhull Medical Center. They have NP’s(Nurse Practitioners) and MD’s, but of the MD’s they have at their adult medical clinic, none are of Anglo/European stock. They’re of Middle-Eastern(Arabs), Asians(Indian/Bangladesh/Pakistan) and African(Africa) stock. And on the rare occasion that they get one of Anglo/European stock, the doctor doesn’t stay for too long because the administrators don’t give them incentive to stay long term and it is because of this that people like myself seek healthcare at some private hospitals where not only do they have more doctors of Anglo/European stock, doctors that people like myself are comfortable with.
This lack of doctors of Anglo/European stock in public/municipal hospitals have to be addressed and remedied, otherwise they’re on the verge of having third wold type of medicine and medical care. This is unacceptable!
