Retweeting to remind folks that 3rd doses for immunocompromised folks are different from boosters.

NEW—Cervical cancer rates 87% lower in women offered vaccination against human papillomavirus (#HPV) between ages 12-13 than in previous generations, English study confirms. First direct evidence of cervical cancer prevention using bivalent vaccine: hubs.li/H0-BBKj0

As we await more data on #Omicron If you are an vaccinated adult (6 months out) This is a good time to go get a booster It'll dramatically reduce your risk of infection from Delta (still the biggest threat by far) And will likely increase your protection against #Omicron

Female doctors make $2 million less over a 40-year career than their male counterparts, new research estimates. More men become surgeons and women have been shown to spend more time with their patients, leading to fewer services that can be billed for. nyti.ms/31zKhkI

In GI: "After adjusting for practice setting, work hours, practice-ownership, free endoscopy center practice, and vacation time, female gastroenterologists earned $82,000 (22%) less per year than their male colleagues (95% CI $34,000-130,000, P= 0.001)."

"For cardiology, gastroenterology, and [ICU], women's median salary did not reach 90 percent of men's. [These specialties] "demonstrated the largest gender disparities in both representation and salary, particularly within the higher ranks of cardiology and gastroenterology."

Guiltlessly taking 3 weeks off while still getting paid is one of the reasons working in tech is alright

PSA: the almond based eggnog from Aldi is a game changer for the lactose intolerant, and it's super great too in coffee

Press release: so it’s 3 days before Christmas and you wake up to discover the organization YOU created and built from the ground up has been taken away by a rogue board with no notification. VC: Black Girls Code

I honestly believe patient outcomes would be much better if adult hospitals were decorated/painted the same as children’s hospitals and if the therapy animal:patient ratio was higher. Also the snacks. Children’s hospital snacks SLAP.

Now just under 3 years into covid and I still don’t think people grasp how much this is affecting med education. There are STILL fellows beingpulled to cover ICU nights. There are STILL psychiatry residents being pulled to cover medicine services while IM residents go to icu.

I am disappointed AJOG Many in our field of OBGYN have been doing A LOT of work to highlight the racism in our specialty in order to correct things. It is not the biological factor of being black that is a risk factor it is the RACISM in our specialty. #SpeakTruth

For disabled people, the fact that something or someplace is not accessible is more than a barrier. It is an unmistakable sign that disabled people are not welcome.

If I read ONE MORE recommendation letter calling a female medical student "well-mannered" I'm going to freaking scream. Are these student physicians domesticated animals?!?!? 😡😡😡 #infuriating #misogyny

so disabled ppl just gotta accept that they cant ever leave the house again huh?

friendly reminder that high risk does not always mean someone is immunocompromised. you can be high risk for plenty of other reasons.
