A black physician in Indianapolis has died with Covid-19 weeks after she accused a doctor of denying her proper medical care because of her race.
In a video from her bed at Indiana University Hospital North, Susan Moore said she had to beg for treatment.
Offering its condolences, the hospital said it took accusations of discrimination very seriously but could not comment on specific patients.
Black people are at greater risk from Covid than white people, studies show.
Dr Moore, 52, passed away at another local hospital on Sunday.
