A Black doctor who has since died from COVID-19 said she wasn t treated properly by hospitalists and believed racism played a role in her poor care.
Susan Moore, MD, tested positive for COVID-19 on November 29 and was admitted to IU Health North Hospital in Carmel, Indiana, but soon began posting Facebook updates and a video with her concerns about her treatment.
She said she presented with a respiratory rate in the 30s, a heart rate in the 150s, and a fever of 101.5° F. She ultimately had to beg for remdesivir because her doctor, Eric Bannec, MD, said her chest x-ray appeared normal.
