In short: Physician Sheetal DeCiaira examines how a doctor's hidden perceptions can influence the quality of care and the seriousness with which they approach a patient's pain.
The video explores the impact of unconscious bias on medical treatment.

She calls on healthcare professionals to critically evaluate their own checkup processes to ensure perception does not compromise care.
