COVID-19: Black Physician Dies After Lamenting Racist Treatment
A black Indiana physician by the name Susan Moore has reportedly died from COVID-19 complications, after the medical practitioner was subjected to discriminatory treatment at the medical facility where she was being managed for the novel coronavirus.
Susan, who ultimately died as a result of unprofessional medical conduct, prior to her death had complained that the white doctor at the hospital in suburban Indianapolis where she was being treated for COVID-19 had dismissed the severity of her condition, and instead made her request to be treated with the right medication seem as though she was a drug addict.
“He made me feel like a drug addict,” Dr. Susan Moore said, accusing a white doctor of dismissing the severity of her condition.

“I was crushed,” she said in a video posted to Facebook. “He made me feel like I was a drug addict.”
In her post, which has consequently gone viral on social media, Susan exercised absolute mastery and command of medical parlance in expressing exactly the approach the white physician ought to have adopted. She knew this because she was an expert physician herself.
As gathered by Eko Hot Blog, the 52 year-old Dr. Susan Moore was eventually sent home after a shabby treatment by the white Doctor at the Indiana hospital; and, barely two weeks after posting the video, Dr. Moore died of complications from COVID-19, according to her son, Henry Muhammed.
Susan’s case has, to say the least stirred national and international condemnation, as it has aptly served as yet another reference point to indicate the inferior medical treatment being meted to black patients in America.
