It is true that non-Latinx doctors and nurses don't take Latinx patient's pain seriously. I remember a Latinx woman coming into the New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYC) emergency room while I was waiting there (and only about 10 people). She was in incredible pain and couldn't speak and her friend explained to the intake nurse that she was pregnant in her first trimester, bleeding, and in intense pain. The nurse told her friend that she should sit and wait and she would be seen after people who were there first. She eventually crumpled to the floor in pain, sweating and crying in Spanish and a Black doctor heard her and came out and brought her in the back. The friend later told me it was an ectopic pregnancy, a very painful thing to happen.
The fact on latinx is that they don't go to hospitals untill is almost late, that' s why their pain seems to be exagerated, cause they do not run to the hospital for simple reasons. Those they take care off at Home.
