Honestly, with all the 'equality' nonsense, I'd be more comfortable with those who I am sure have earned their place -

U no. U no.
Its not much of an issue in healthcare, I'd imagine, since only a small proportion of doctors are white British. But anyway

It seems like its white ppl are the ones using this lol -

Did you want honest answers or not? Its the effect of 'drives for diversity in the workplace' and quotas. -

The only people that I've seen who have had issues with the colour of a doctors skin have been the racist/ignorant type/mentally challenged. -

Tbh, I'd feel more comfortable around a doctor that looked like me or had similar features relatable to me e.g. Ethnic backgorund/Fairly young/Female etc
In general, I think people feel more at ease when they are around people that look like them -

Why does colour matter when they can save your life.

No, as long as they are qualified to treat patients then it doesn't matter for me. As long as it's not Dr Nick from the Simpsons.

No (calm down), as I said its an unconscious bias, thanks to news like this:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3626788.stm
Which make ethnic employees look like tokens (rather racist, isn't it?) and reduces my trust in them, unfortunately. -

The colour makes absolutely no difference in my mind. However, I met a few foreign doctors in British hospitals and found I struggled to understand what they say - their English wasn't brilliant or they had a thick accent, and this might worry me slightly if this was the case! While Im sure theyvwere very clever and good at their job, for being a doctor, communication is really important!

I can never tell if white doctors really care about their patients. -
