Black mom accuses Penn State Hospital doctor of ignoring her Son’s severe post-surgery pain. Then a team was forced to intervene: ‘racist doctors’

A mother who posts on TikTok as Saffyy_saff (@saffyy_saff) said in a video that she filmed her son at Hershey Penn State Hospital after he had major brain and stomach surgeries. She stated that a doctor did not believe her son needed narcotics even though he had been screaming and crying through the night.

In the video she said, “So I am here in this hospital and this doctor does not believe that my son, after he had a major brain surgery and stomach surgery, she does not believe that he needs any narcotics right now.” She added that she and the boy’s father had to settle him down themselves. The clip showed the child in a hospital bed and later a close-up of stitches on his scalp.
