Reply to comment by dogecoin_pleasures in Indigenous people are less likely to survive the year after an ICU admission. 12 months after being admitted to intensive care, an Indigenous person is more likely to have died than a non-Indigenous person, according to Australian research. by MistWeaver80

I agree with you, but if you’re requiring ICU care at the risk of imminent death you’re probably going to make an exception or likely tubed and sedated.

Healthcare facilities, especially in large capital cities feel sterile (pardon the pun) have little indigenous art or design in recognition of indigenous culture to provide First Nations people a little comfort.

Then there’s the challenge of access to pharmacy, follow up appointments, cost and relatively poor health literacy.

And when they do have art, its the fake* new dot stuff, not the true stuff. Not that they could have a lot of the true stuff, because its secret. Hence the dots, what happened was the western desert nation (IIRC) was doing art with an anthropologist or sociologist in the 70s, and invented the dots to hide the actual painting from him and white viewers. It's not ancient, and it's not the history for any of the other nations

You'll find some aboriginal folks with some very strong anti dot art opinions, and it wouldn't provide them with all that much comfort.
