Dr. Susan Moore Claims Hospital Mistreatment Because She's Black, Before Dying of COVID
Dr. Susan Moore 'Hospital Mistreated Me Because I'm Black' ... Before COVID Killed Her
UPDATE
1:55 PM PT -- A rep for Indiana University Health said the hospital could not comment on individual patients or care because of privacy law. It adds, "As an organization committed to equity and reducing racial disparities in healthcare, we take accusations of discrimination very seriously and investigate every allegation."
UPDATE
The rep continued, "Treatment options are often agreed upon and reviewed by medical experts from a variety of specialties, and we stand by the commitment and expertise of our caregivers and the quality of care delivered to our patients every day."
Dr. Susan Moore is dead from COVID-19 after claiming she was mistreated at an Indiana hospital simply because of the color of her skin.
Dr. Moore, who is Black, died Sunday ... according to her family.
Dr. Moore, a physician herself, was diagnosed with COVID-19 back on Nov. 29 and was hospitalized at Indiana University Health North Hospital in Carmel, where she claimed hospital staff made her beg for a CT scan and meds.
Dr. Moore posted video earlier this month claiming doctors at IU Health tried sending her home despite her positive COVID diagnosis ... and she said hospital staff made her feel like a drug addict even though they knew she was a physician.
When Dr. Moore finally got a CT scan, she claims doctors discovered damage to her lungs ... but she says that didn't stop them from withholding pain medication for hours on end.
Dr. Moore believed she would have received better treatment if she were white. BTW ... she didn't buy a nurse's story about marching with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Now, she's dead at 52.
We reached out to IU Health. So far, no word back.
RIP
