The Bias Diagnosis
Ivan Beckley, a student doctor, hosts this podcast for Audible in which he scrutinises the racial inequalities in healthcare systems, from cancer treatment to mental health care. Beckley speaks to patients who received wrong or late diagnoses because of centuries of myths and falsehoods in medicine, or assumptions made about the validity of their pain and other symptoms. Far from your standard gory medical show, this is a sociological investigation - and a shocking one at that. Hannah J Davies
