Post Racism and stroke treatment

Today, I was searching for stuff about strokes, and my search gave me a link to an article about how some minorities are treated differently (not given the drug to dissolve their clot). This is really a shame. I thought that doctors took some type of oath, or something saying they would try and save lives. If so, I don't see how they could be so racist and uncaring. Here's the link: [url="http://news.excite.com/news/r/010503/16/science-health-stroke-race-dc"]http://news.excite.com/news/r/010503/16/science-health-stroke-race-dc[/url] In case you're wondering, I come from the ethnic minority group that they were/are discriminating against. I guess the doctors at my hospital aren't racist, because I got the best that they could do. The fact that I'm alive and not paralyzed, just shows that all doctors aren't racist and that they take that oath seriously.
