Re: Several thoughts on the subject

What is the precentenge of non-Caucasian people among patients in need of organ transplantation? Yes, there is little to no MHC characterisation (tissue typing) data available for non-Caucasian people.

Scary, isn't it?

Medicine is slowly becoming less biased. The heart attack thing is at least somewhat known, nowdays, and becoming more known with time. Five years ago it was virtually unheard of. As for the low BP thing - well, nearly all medical people (not just doctors) will say that low BP is not a medical problem. Tell that to anyone with a BP under 100/80...
