No More Beds
In this episode, Max is joined by George Aumoithe, Ph.D., assistant professor of global health at Stony Brooke University, in the department of Africana Studies. They discuss his work on the effect of anti-inflationary economic policy and colorblind legal ideology on public hospitals, as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic, namely, hospital bed shortages and lack of access to critical care in disproportionately poor Black communities. They also take a look at what the future might hold with the Biden-Harris administration as the U.S. Listen to Flip the Script on iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.

Worry About Infra-Redlining
Max is joined by Amy Moran-Thomas, PhD, associate professor of anthropology at MIT. They discuss current shortcomings in the FDA's medical devices approval process, with a sharp focus on pulse-oximeters, a device rendered particularly popular during the Pandemic. Studies have long shown that they do not detect low oxygen as accurately among people with darker skin, and yet, little has changed. Read more about Dr. Moran-Thomas' in-depth exploration of how pulse oximeters encode racial bias here: https://bostonreview.net/science-nature-race/amy-moran-thomas-how-popular-medical-device-encodes-racial-bias, and see the large clinical study which we refer to in the episode, published in the New England Journal of Medicine by a team from the University of Michigan: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmc2029240.

Same Burden, Different Outcomes
Max is joined by Kemi Doll, MD, MCSR, a gynecologic oncologist and health services researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle. They discuss her research, focused on the experiences of Black women with endometrial cancer (also known as uterine cancer).
They also discuss shortcomings of the current gynecologic care system, which fails many Black women at different stages of care. Dr Doll created Endometrial Cancer Network for African Americans (ECANA), as a support network for patients. To that effect, they discuss importance of community-based participatory research.
