“Israel’s 24-hour notice that people in Northern Gaza must leave their land, homes and hospitals is outrageous – this represents an attack on medical care and on humanity.

Bias in the trauma bay is perceived as unconscious but affects patient care. Most commonly described targets are females & non-white providers unfamiliar to the team. Identifying common targets & sources of biases may lead to more effective communication
