1. I AM NOT A LAWYER!!! This wont result in suit against anyone! It is simply for a thesis driven paper for English.
2. Discrimination does not refer to simply racial discrimination- my key points are Discriminating action against:
- The Elderly
- A lower Social/Financial group
- Medicaid/Medicare Pts.
- those with Aids/HIV, etc ( (Abbott v Bragdon)

Anyways- I am looking for anything you might have seen along the lines of Discrimination to someone- again I would rather not get into racial discrimination.

I would like to have as much info as possible- but dont use names/places/etc. if you are not comfortable with it.

If possible Email them to me (juniorff@yahoo.com) rather then post to the list, or both. Anything helps!

Thank You very much

ps Medicine is a broad field- Im not just picking on EMTs, etc.- we dont have as much of a choice! I am focusing more on MDs, RNs, etc
