  • Medical Violence Against Patients
    Apr 29 2025

    SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!

    Our discussion stems from a shocking case of obstetrical abuse where an attending deliberately created a fourth-degree laceration on a Black patient who had just delivered her baby without complications, solely so a resident could practice the repair.

    We go deep into how medical training can sometimes cross serious ethical boundaries and remaining silent when witnessing unethical practices doesn't just harm patients, it erodes one's own moral foundation and perpetuates a culture where abuses can continue unchecked.
