I fully believe that racism, prejudice, gender bias and other issues really do plague the health care system but in this specific case, has that been established?
From the articles and video I have seen, is race or ethnicity brought up? It may have but I may have missed it, Or are we just talking about general criminal negligence and neglect in the health care system, similar to some of the awful stories we have heard in long term care homes before, during and after Covid?

You establish it based on previous events and the history of racism against Indigenous folk in Canada. I mean this was just in June in BC and is even more "blatant racism" if you want to call it that:
Quote:
A Canadian province is investigating claims that healthcare staff played a racist "game" by betting on the blood alcohol level of indigenous patients.
The claims, involving staff in at least one British Columbia hospital, came to light after a community leader filed a complaint on Thursday.
Health Minister Adrian Dix called the allegations "abhorrent" and has hired an independent investigator.
He would not say which hospital was named in the complaint.
"The allegation is that a game was being played to investigate the blood alcohol level of patients in the emergency rooms, in particular with indigenous people and perhaps others. And if true, it is intolerable and racist and of course (has) affected profoundly patient care," Mr Dix told a press conference Friday. He did not say if any staff faced disciplinary action.
