20-year-old Breaks Big Record,changes The Face Of Medicine With This Thing. by lawalmedia9: 4:45pm On Jul 25, 2020
A young 20-year-old man,Malone Mukwende,has changed the face of medicine as he published a book along with two other professors,to answer the questions of how symptoms manifests on black skins.

This medical student,Malone Mukwende,at Saint George’s University,said he has come across many people who are always scared of being misdiagnosed by medical workers.

Malone said he knew he could use his academic position to make the desired change,when he got to medical school.

The 20-year-old brilliant medical student added that a big part of the problem is that people are not been taught how to identify symptoms on dark skins in medical schools.

Malone said it is totally different when it comes to white skins.

According to Aljazeera, diseases like meningitis manifests differently on different skin tones. In that case, the diagnosis for a white person may not be the same as someone with black skin.

He gave a reason why more black people in London die from COVID-19,for instance,may be connected be connected to the fact that most of the pieces of medical advice given out do not apply to black skins.

Malone said questions like “are you pale around the lips?” do not necessarily befit people with black skins.
