1/ Every week I hear patients’ stories of family separation. The anguish the nation saw w/ the Mississippi ICE raid is the same anguish medical professionals hear routinely in the voices of our patients & their families. Here are stories from our corner of North Carolina...

Here The New York Times I fixed it for you.

“Essential and dispensable..you should be grateful to have a job, even if it means risking your life & risking your family’s life..It’s the marginalization of already marginalized communities of color. We treat them like machines and not like human beings” ourprism.org/1941906

Powerful piece. “The pandemic has revealed much of what’s good in American medicine: the professionalism of health-care workers, the system’s ability to rapidly expand capacity, but also much of what’s broken—fragmented care, unequal access, and deep social inequities.”

In documenting Covid-19 racial disparities, we must contextualize such data with adequate analysis. Disparity figures without explanatory context can perpetuate harmful myths and misunderstandings that undermine the goal of eliminating health inequities. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2

What a powerful testament to the importance of being present. Thanks @GMEpulse for your mentorship and sharing this story with us all.

This ⁦The New York Times⁩ piece really resonates. nytimes.com/2020/05/05/par…

👇Just encountered this yesterday. How can we offer equitable care via #telehealth when our patients don’t have equal access to #internet? How do we move forward without widening #HealthDisparities during #Covid_19?

A fellow family physician in the Minneapolis had their medical offices damaged last night in the riots. The doctor's response? "Property is far less important than justice."

What continues to happen in our country is not okay. #BlackLivesMatter

Proud to march for justice with Student National Medical Association, Inc (SNMA) UNC School of Medicine in Durham today. We have work to do. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackMamasMatter #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives

Have you ever had to tell someone that continuing their very desired pregnancy could kill them? I have. No one should have to make that gut-wrenching decision. Forced birth in a country with one of the highest maternal mortality rates is absurd. This was never about “pro-life”.
