For the conclusion of our Dark History of Medicine two-part series on Dr. James Marion Sims, Ellsworth and Big Spoon further discuss experimentation on enslaved black people in history for the "sake" of medicine. We also recount awful experiences happening to black women in modern times who were desperately seeking medical treatment and the overall racial bias still plaguing our healthcare system to this day. To Betsy, Lucy, Anarcha and all of the other unnamed women that have suffered, this one is for you: The Mothers of Gynecology.
