#womenshealth #OSSD24 premeeting up next is a symposium on cardiovascular disease. Lacy Alexander up next on endometriosis effects on cardiovascular disease. Endometriosis affects 10% & is diagnosed LATE- up to 10 y! Increased risk of stroke & MI with endometriosis.

Am loving seeing all the OSSD #OSSD24

The data speaks for itself ~ in USA Depression & Anxiety carries greatest disease burden with suicide the leading cause of non accidental death in women under 50

We need more research for women’s mental health & for women, period!🚺

In my psych block and mental state exam teaching, PMDD symptoms or asking if symptoms align with menstrual cycle was rarely (ever?) mentioned.

PMDD impacts 3-8% of menstruating individuals.

If it primarily affected men, would it be more taught?

Not …just… a gynaecological disorder

Endometriosis causes long term cardiovascular complications

It increases myocardial infarction by 50%, stroke by 40%

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disorder, a pain disorder & a metabolic disorder

✨ Sex ≠ Gender
Stop conflating 'sex' and 'gender' in academic papers

✨Sex≠ binary
Sex &gender factors are not binary

✨Sex X Gender (X Development)
Sex & gender interact and are not always distinguishable

Feeling inspired by the incredible individuals at #OSSD24

No better way to spent the first days knowing I’ve passed med school, these are the values I hope to embody through my career.

It would be *great* if payroll were as quick to answer queries around sick pay for me this year as they are at chasing my sick notes!

I’ve current received 2 communications in 2 days while on neuroHDU after emergency 🚨 surgery… that yes they know about.

Israel have seized & closed the only crossing Palestinians can use to leave Gaza.

It means 8 year old Lama can't leave Gaza to have the operation she needs, after being injured in an Israeli air strike last month.

Watching the film made after one of my favourite books, just as heart wrenching and triggering as reading the book, but also just as beautiful 💙 #WhereTheCrawdadsSing

I don’t have slides for my talk on #unconsciousbias in #MedEd but if I did, they’d be this

What's the difference between wheeze and asthma?

CC4C co-founder mando watson explains for #WorldAsthmaDay2024

That practice had a PA posing as a doctor - a crime.

NHS England have known since day 1. It took a telegraph article to get them to suddenly change their advice.

It’s clear, Government is deliberately replacing doctors with PAs, and they terrified of you find out out about it

My hospital is charging £59 pounds per month for staff parking. Almost sixty quid a month to go to work! That’s 720 quid year. NHS staff are NOT valued.

'MAPS wishing to extend their scope of practice have an established pathway that currently exists to allow them to gain the necessary qualifications: medical school'.
