Health systems often discriminate against Indigenous patients: Philpott - National | Globalnews.ca: On Wednesday while speaking at a Public Policy Forum event in Ottawa focused on Indigenous health, Philpott said she had witnessed first-hand the different treatment a female patient who came to see her with a diagnosis of HIV.
“I watched in my clinic the way that my staff treated certain people who came into the clinic,” she said.
“Her language was not very polite … her behaviour in the clinic was disruptive and disturbing and she was rough around the edges. And I watched how my staff interacted with her and saw that they didn’t treat her the same as the same guy that walked in and was wearing a business suit.”
