Bien que les médecins fassent le serment de ne pas faire de mal, il y a de fortes chances que leurs préjugés inconscients se répercutent sur le sérieux avec lequel ils prennent votre douleur. Le médecin Sheetal DeCaria explique comment la perception influe sur les soins et les traitements médicaux ; et appelle les professionnels de la santé à vérifier la manière dont ils procèdent à l'examen de leurs patients.

Unconscious bias can shape how seriously doctors treat pain, sometimes leading to misdiagnoses and needless suffering. Even female physicians have found their pain dismissed, as in the case of a Black doctor whose complaints were minimized despite her expertise. Studies reveal that 91 percent of women with chronic pain feel discriminated against by the health care system, with nearly half told their pain is imaginary. Confronting these hidden biases is essential to ensure compassion and proper care reach every patient.
