The podcast episodes explore the disturbing history of racism in medicine and how it continues to negatively impact the treatment of chronic pain and other health issues for women and people of color.

The episodes discuss how unconscious biases stemming from this history of unethical practices have perpetuated racial disparities in healthcare, and call for greater awareness, accountability, and reforms to address implicit bias in the medical field.

They also examine the problematic use of race in medical diagnoses and treatment, despite the lack of biological basis for race, and the need to instead recognize socioeconomic factors contributing to health disparities.
