About this listen

Five patients, one treatment room, and a broken healthcare system.

Ivan Beckley is about to become a fully-qualified doctor in the UK. But he’s not convinced that healthcare works for everyone equally.

In this series he uncovers one of the biggest and most insidious injustices in modern medicine. Fixing it could save thousands of lives every year. And yet it’s invisible, unless it directly affects you.

Statistics show that black and people of colour have worse health outcomes, and die more often than white people, across many fields of medicine and variety of illnesses.

Ivan’s search for answers takes him to the roots of modern medicine. He busts myths, debunks stereotypes and calls out misinformation that have existed for centuries and remain sadly very much alive today.

A Whistledown production for Audible Originals.

It is scary that we think that the copious medical education for docs is lacking.

I'm more surprised that there isn't an uproar in the medical world about this.

The prescription for this... change

kind of scary

Shocking facts and sad stories of people that trusted the knowledge and humanity of their doctors. The proof that we don't need smart doctors but caring ones!
Ivan Beckley made me think about some of my decisions and the way I treat my patients.
Thank you Ivan!

This should be taught in med school!

Firstly I am not black, but I have worked in the health care sector for many years, and I have found that there is definitely racism, and classism within that sector. I believe that COVID19 has definitely illustrated that point further. I found enlightening on the discussion about spirography that the units themselves were manufactured with this racist feature built the reason being I completed these tests and was wondering why there was a I and II button, which I asked about repeatedly but was never informed. I found it interesting because I tried the test on both settings for myself and was shocked by the difference. I can only hope that the results were interpreted by the doctor's at that office correctly. I know occasionally these tests were repeated by another staff member.

A great listen! very informative and useful to think about. I struggled with all the sound effects, I found myself thinking about what made that noise and having to go back and listen to the words again.

the information was eye-opening!
