"Indigenous Canadians are avoiding going to the doctor or seeking urgent care in hospitals, says the president of The Indigenous Physicians Association. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact, but there's also another equally invisible and potentially deadly factor: racism" (CBC Radio, 2020, November 27). 

"People are fearing that they will be treated in a racist manner, or not receive the standard of care that a non-Indigenous person would," Dr. Cornelia (Nel) Wieman, told Dr. Brian Goldman, host of White Coat, Black Art.

"The death of Joyce Echaquan was a wake-up call to the kind of inequity that Indigenous people face as patients in the health-care system, says Wieman, who is also a psychiatrist and Acting Deputy Chief Medical Officer at the First Nations Health Authority in Vancouver" (CBC Radio, 2020, November 27). 

"In September, Echaquan, an Atikamekw mother of seven, died in a hospital in Joliette, Que., after live streaming some of the painful last moments of her life on Facebook.

The video captured Echaquan screaming in distress, along with the voices of staff members hurling racial insults at her. 

After the video was circulated widely, thousands of people attended protests in Montreal and Quebec City demanding "Justice for Joyce" (CBC Radio, 2020, November 27). 

Health care workers who are supposed to care have been murdering. Joyce Echaquan and others have been killed by the people like Martha MacLeod, Sarah Hanson, Lyle Grant, Khaldoun Aldiabat etc. and they hid from YouTube the recording of how they treated me that the public does not know about their dirty business etc.

Joyce Echaquan was lucky that she could show the public in her video the ugly/killing reality in Canadian health care.
