This is not news to those of us who work in women’s health everyday but glad the world is starting to notice. “Conditions that affect women more than men garner less funding” nature.com/immersive/d415…

Amanda Selk Health care cost is mostly spent at the beginning and at the end of life, except for women . Why don’t we invest for women ? Contraception , prenatal care and genetic screening, physio for incontinence , etc

Some of the data presented:

Dr. Constance Nasello OMA WOMEN Ontario Medical Association Ontario Ministry of Health Jan Stanek It’s not even just the money: a colleague who retired and is assisting in the OR now is shocked at how much harder obgyn careers are. Less pay for more hours, more after-midnight work, and more medicolegal stress. Brilliant 🤦🏼‍♂️

I feel very strongly that OB/Gyns cannot take on the burden for everything we don’t know yet about female biology. All of women’s health cannot be packed into one small, under-funded, under-paid, over-worked uterus-shaped box. 💕

👍🤛

Hope all is now well. Rest & get better.

When Gynecologic surgery is paid like it’s worthless compared to Ortho, plastics, ENT, Urology, etc, hospitals push women farther and father out. Her disease get worse while she waits because Gyn surgeons make the same amount of revenue in 3 hours that others do in 30 minutes.

Inspired by all the women in my life - in healthcare, in my community, and...at home! Let's continue speaking up for #genderequity in all the spaces and rooms where decisions are made. Happy #InternationalWomensDay ❤️ This year's theme: #InspireInclusion #IWD2024

Happy that this is the attitude of the next generation of medical women. Mine was criticized for all these things, that we were not “team players” when we tried to lead. Before social media, & before women in medicine found our voices.

Ontario Ministry of Health argues that there's no physician shortage in Ontario. Over 2.3 million Ontarians are without a family doctor, and government data shows that thousands of physician positions remain unfilled.

Emergency departments are overcrowded, wait times for specialists are growing, and patients are suffering.

Every Ontarian deserves access to a physician. You pay for it through your taxes and you should demand it. Patients need a properly functioning health-care system that is adequately funded to meet their needs. Right now, that does not exist.

Over the last decade, inflation has surged by over 25%, yet funding has lagged behind at just 7.6%. This discrepancy places an immense financial strain on physicians, hindering their ability to deliver quality care.

First 5 yr of my career, we did 1:2 OB-GYN rural call. Told it was expected. There were no locums at that time, & no money to pay them if there were. HOCC did not exist, there was pay except OHIP. I was a single parent through part of it. No one would do that now.

Zero does not exist in the context of science! Science will never tell you something is 100%, or 0%. There is always a margin for error or uncertainty. Anyone who tells you otherwise is blowing smoke, or doesn’t know WTH they are talking about.
