This top editor was apparently in sleep or totally oblivious in regard to

racism in medicine obviously because he has been in that white men's 

only culture in medicine for too long, probably all his life.

He couldn't hide from the stark reality everybody sees and had no choice 

but to resign from the top post.

This article clearly shows the sequence of stupid events that led to

the resignation.

Minorities in ASA leadership

When I was in Anesthesia training at NYU, there were only a few American Medical Graduates

among about 15 to 20 residents in the same year with me. They were treated better than 

attendings who were foreign graduate professors. More than 70% of attendings were non-white 

FMG's. They were basically cheap laborers who were on fixed salaries. The Chairman of the

department was MGM trained white American who had an exclusive contract with the hospital.

He was making millions of dollars. He had the right to bill all the cases done at NYU hospital,

Bellevue hospital and Manhattan VA. MGM-trained anesthesiologists were almost monopolizing huge department chair positions throughout the country. It was a jackpot position that comes with fame and money. MGM trained white Hovard graduates ran ASA. It was nothing but systemic discrimination.
