"Women are often dismissed by the health care system, but women also dismiss themselves—a repercussion of a system and a society that have undermined their every concern. Women regularly delay seeking care" Crisp truths fr Dr. Adžemović in @JAMA_current jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…


Meanwhile, sights fr spring break in Miami. Parents & children in Florida @ the pool have to see this. #Pediatrics data suggest gun laws can save lives & @MomsDemand helps us know the level of crisis. This is a disgusting sign. Everyday. The America in which we currently live…

If you’re not OUTRAGED about domestic misogyny you cannot be awake. Average age of menarche (first period) is 12.2 yrs and Florida men want to outlaw girls talking abt their period outside of grade 6-12? That means literally HALF of girls will menstruate and be gaged to silence.


Waiting for path results to come back after suspected abnormalities or suspected cancer is a place in healthcare encounters people deeply suffer. Anyone know of companies/solutions working to collapse the wait and the lack of transparency for patients?


Price cuts on insulin! At last!!! Inching towards affordable for all (hopefully)…… I suspect big, mighty advocacy came fr that genius little tweet after the blue check mark fiasco last fall. One single tweet ushered in expansive awareness & vast exposure to the issue.

YES. Affordable, convenient, credible medical support and guidance. Let’s go!

I’m obsessed with the idea that every single American should have a phone number they can text to get medical care within 15 minutes. I will work tirelessly until this is a reality.

I do so love watching cancer cells die.

A friend has a dog who recently bit a child. Revisited an old podcast for her — “all dogs bite” because they do. ALL DOGS BITE. Even the nice sweet ones. This is esp so when unpredictable children play or approach them. More here: on.soundcloud.com/RmQvn #smallreminder


Concur. Women physicians WITH families should aspire to any and every level of leadership. Doable, of course. Ask for what you need, share duties at home. Hire support for housework, etc. Doable esp with a partner equally committed to parenting, too!
