A group of Black women in Athens, Georgia suffering from sickle cell anemia, report that a doctor at the local Hospitals have repeatedly denied them necessary treatment, downplayed the severity of their condition, and insinuated they were seeking drugs rather than medical care. Similar experiences have occurred at both Piedmont and St. Mary’s Hospital. The women believe these incidents are rooted in racial bias.
