How should medical staff react to this:

As long as the person treating me is qualified I couldn't care less about their colour, ethnicity, religion or anything else.

Out not put

Yes I’d come in hard - you’ll have who you’re given and be grateful ( to paraphrase my mum) and if that doesn’t suit, close the door behind you on your way put. Management should be brought in to deal with this and support the staff fully - imagine what they would do if it were the staff refusing to treat patients on the grounds of colour. That poor surgeon

Youd should read 'great, small, things' by Jody Picoult- about a black midwife in the USA- and a white supremacist family.

It was given to me by a friend from Australia. She is a Cape coloured (Cape Town SA) - and came to study nursing int he UK in the 70s. When she returned to SA, during Apartheid- she could only work in hospitals for blacks or coloureds. She was relatively fair skinned and spoke perfect English with flat rp accent- with British training and qualifications.

She met a surgeon from a white hospital and he employed her, against the Law, to work in one of his clinics. She only worked in theatre, once the patients were under anesthetics unbelievable.

What was so distressing was that the surgeon on the video did not feel he could rely on back up from the management.

Disgraceful.

I'd tell them to leave the premises.

And I wouldn't be polite about it either.

So ignorant.

That article makes unpleasant reading.

I am curious about what is meant in the article when "representation" of black and ethnic minority workers in various industries (including, I presume, the medical "industry") is mentioned.
