The C. O. W. S. Damar Hamlin Was Lucky. Black People Don't Get CPR #ICantBreathe

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Paul S. Chan and Dr. Anezi I. Uzendu. In October of 2022, The New England Journal of Medicine released a report showing that black and "hispanic" people are less likely to receive CPR from bystanders in any environment. This was reported prior to Damar Hamlin, 24-year-old black male who nearly died on the tackle football field before being resuscitated by highly decorated medical staff. The night of the tragic injury, Gus tweeted that if Hamlin experienced cardiac arrest away from the stadium, he would be substantially less likely to get help. Dr. Chan co-authored the report that confirms Gus's social media outburst. We'll discuss potential strategies to combat this problem - including: teaching non-white children CPR in school or even during the upcoming Super Bowl with Hamlin leading the instructions. Dr. Uzendu makes this information painfully relevant by relating his own near-death experience when he suffered cardiac arrest during a basketball contest at the age of 25-years-old. Approximately 90% of cardiac arrest patients who suffer attacks away from a medical institution die. #SuperLucky We'll hear about the White Supremacy Dr. Uzendu endured during med school, where there were 8 black students out of 100. Whites whittled that number down to 2, and then placed them both on "probation." We'll also discuss the significance of black people being less likely than White people to receive CPR than someone classified as White even in wealthy, predominantly black areas. #ICantBreathe #ZekeUpshaw #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
