video posted on Facebook<\/a>, Moore claimed doctors at Indiana University Health hospital even tried to send her home.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is how black people get killed, when you send them home and they don\u2019t know how to fight for themselves,\u201d she said on the video. \u201cI had to talk to somebody, maybe the media, somebody, to let people know how I\u2019m being treated up in this place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moore said she had to plead with a white doctor at the hospital for treatment, but was told she would likely be sent home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in so much pain from my neck, my neck hurt so bad,\u201d she said on the video. \u201cI was crushed. He made me feel like a drug addict and he knows I\u2019m a physician.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moore said she spoke to a patient advocate \u201cwho left me wanting,\u201d and asked to be moved to another hospital.<\/p>\n
When the doctors finally did the scan, they found new damage to her lungs \u2014 but kept her waiting for hours for painkillers, she charged.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that nurse was telling me, \u2018Oh, I was marching in Black Lives Matter,’\u201d Moore said. \u201cI told her, \u2018No, I don\u2019t believe none of that. Not one bit. Not one iota. You wouldn\u2019t even know how to march. Probably can\u2019t even spell it.’\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI put forth and I maintain if I was white, I wouldn\u2019t have to go through that,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd that man never came back and apologized.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement Wednesday, the hospital said it does not comment on specific patients or their medical histories.<\/p>\n
But, the statement said, \u201cas an organization committed to equity and reducing racial disparities in healthcare, we take accusations of discrimination very seriously and investigate every allegation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTreatment options are often agreed upon and reviewed by medical experts from a variety of specialties, and we stand by the commitment and expertise of our caregivers and the quality of care delivered to our patients every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
