A Texas woman was forced to give birth to a baby missing part of its brain and skull. Then - because the state that forced her to give birth doesn't have public funds for infant funerals - she had to raise money to lay her daughter to rest. tinyurl.com/25a5kpw7

He did it. He waited until a Friday before a holiday weekend to say mifepristone loses its FDA approval. He is a coward. IMPORTANT: It's not in effect today, and we don't know what exactly the enforcement will be. Learn how to get pills - now - here: mayday.health

Very few people are as underestimated as young female physicians

Sent my first med student home today, and I have to admit, the feeling is unmatched. Even hit ‘em with that “of course I’m sure, go home”

A full day's job: one hundred and four (104) fibroid masses removed from one woman! This beat my previous record of 81 masses from one woman.

Over 25 years ago, OB/GYN programs were the first to pilot the AAMC’s new “Electronic Residency Application Service.” But starting next year, OB/GYN will stop using ERAS and begin using a different residency application system. (🧵)

No one: Me: “The placenta really is the most amazing and yet disposable organ. It synthesizes, it transports, it metabolizes, it cushions and protects, and don’t even get me started on the over 1000…” SMFM

I am just so tired of OB/Gyn being criticized for not being good enough at medicine, at surgery, at research, we are a small under-resourced field and are, like women, expected to do and be everything (for women’s healthcare).

So after insanely competitive, long, grueling training, we incur ~0.25M in debt, start our career at 30, and then often have earnings capped at 250k…we are expected to care for sick and dying that society ignores…and that pay is too much obviously compared to a data scientist.

Might I recommend residency
