    1/ We've got a lot of white nationalists in Oregon. So a few times a year, a patient in the ER refuses treatment from me because of my race.

        I'm glad this is getting national attention. It is a real problem many don't even consider. You handle it professionally & are a role model

        Any African-Americans refuse treatment from a Caucasian doctor? From a Jewish doctor? From an Indian-American?

        It continues to amaze me how some human beings would rather die than let someone of another ethnicity help them. Not a good survival trait.
