Wednesday, February 6, 2019 • BQ Daily Eagle • 3 GG uest Editorial Opinions Dying While Black: Perpetual Gaps Exist In Health Care for African-Americans By Yolonda Wilson The Conversation Several years ago, MapQuest directed me on a 10-hour drive to visit my father in a Florida hospital. Complications from dia- betes, including blindness, kidney failure, congestive heart failure and a below- the-knee amputation, had taken their toll. This time my father, 69, was hospi- talized for an infection of unknown origin that physi- cians could not name, de- spite their many attempts to grow cultures. I did not know it at the time, but my father was dy- ing. Once I arrived at the hos- pital from Durham, North Carolina, I could hear his screams from the nurses’ station. “Never mind. I hear him,” I told the nurse whom I had just asked the location of my father’s room. “I’ll follow the sounds.” That any patient would be left in so much pain that his screams could be heard down the hall was unaccept- able to me. That this pa- tient was my father, a man I had always known as a big, strong former football player — the kind of man other men didn’t dare cross (but who was also loving and gentle) — was difficult for me to process. Yet, here I was, being guided to his hospital room by the sound of his cries. Despite being a trained philosopher with an interest in bioethics, I had not yet begun to think about the ways in which racialized health disparities manifest even at the end of life.
