An essential medical device is failing people of color


Dr. Noha Aboelata said it was "annihilating" to understand that analysts had known for a really long time that patients with brown complexion were bound to get misleading readings from beat oximeters.

Aboelata reviewed the "staggering inclination" of plunging further into the writing and understanding that this uniqueness was not another revelation.
