Inequalities in Health: Pain

This episode is my project for my SOCY4052-100 class on the Inequalities of Health. I talk over some statistics and add some commentary about how minorities are treated less for their pain compared to their white counterparts with my co-host for the episode who knew nothing of what he was getting into with this episode.
