This is the definition of madness. This woman couldn’t get treatment for her MOLAR pregnancy. It’s a hydatidiform mole. There may not even be a fetus at all, and if there is, it doesn’t survive past a few weeks after conception. jezebel.com/woman-with-can…

You all telling doctors not to get political, while we’re all watching politicians literally practicing medicine. Fuck that and fuck you for suggesting it.

Hi, #MedTwitter. Putting out another call for any in the #PCCM community who might be interested. We're still recruiting #PICU #URIM fellows for this study, including newly matched residents and recent faculty graduates. Thank you! ☺️ #PedsICU

We certainly cannot unpack the Model Minority Myth without exploring its root in anti-Blackness, and how it continues to be used as a deliberate political tactic to undermine our cross-racial solidarity while invisibilizing our struggles under systemic racism and white supremacy.

The T in LGBTQ+ stands for TRANSGENDER. If you don’t support trans people, keep your cute pride post in your draft tweets, be better, and try again next year. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I cannot stress this enough: Real scientists and other experts should absolutely not debate people who are so ignorant that they believe - and broadcast to millions of people(!) - that children are “identifying as cats and using litterboxes in schools.” Joe Rogan is not smart.

Academic Medicine will say “diversity is important,” while actively maintaining anti Black spaces. Dr. Robert Ray Jr endured a harmful and toxic learning environment without support from institutional bodies claiming to care about DEI work.

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.

If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged. 70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

Some folks are in my mentions saying they don’t care what color their doctor is and all they want is a qualified doctor. BUT, the data shows for Black patients, the race of our health professionals does INDEED make a difference in the care we receive. Sad, but reality. THREAD.
