6:05Now PlayingA doctor who claims the term 'going blue' to describe symptoms of cyanosis is racist has been accused by Nick Ferrari of wanting to erase parts of the curriculum.
Ore Odubiyi, a doctor in training at the University of Bristol, said the term highlights how medical education was written by and for white people and often disregards differing symptoms between races.
She used cyanosis - a condition that turns the skin blue in white patients and grey/white in non-white patients - as an example.
She highlighted how medical students are taught the term 'going blue' as a blanket phrase, but that this was incorrect and could lead to doctors missing symptoms in non-white patients.
She told Nick Ferrari: As well as teaching that people who have paler skin colours, we need to also supplement this with how this will manifest differently with people of different skin colours.
"This is not a way to erase the fact that this is how it present in people with fairer or white skin tones, but this is to make the picture much more fuller and much more holistic."
