No mater how famous or wealthy, this is what every Black person, and especially Black women and children, can expect from the healthcare system anywhere in the US. A New Mexico jury awarded the family of Star Trek icon Nichelle Nichols $13 million in a wrongful death lawsuit against the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, New Mexico. An expert informed jury ruled the hospital provided substandard care, failed to properly diagnose a treatable heart condition, and then discharging her hours before her death in 2022. News media are already attempting to softpedal the story. Don't let them! #BlackFedi #BlackMastodon #Afrofuturism #SciFi #STEM #Women #BlackWomen #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS #Uhura #NyotaUhura
