Recently educated myself on the horrific experiments performed by Marion Sims, but learned so much more from @drcooperowens during her #ACOGVirtual20 lecture.
My Q: Have current obgyns adopted alternate language for the Sims Vaginal Speculum in the OR? What is that language?
Thank you Dr. Deirdre Cooper Owens for your historical presentation on medical racism in obgyn. She says that “the US is the most dangerous place for Black women to have children in the developing world.Treat Black women as white women.” #ACOGVirtual20@acog
@drcooperowens says to honor Anarcha, Lucy, Betsy and the unnamed Black women, we need more than statues, we need a change in how Black women are cared for today. #ACOGvirtual20
We need to learn about the racist history of medicine, but we also need to look at today's curricula, identify how that history still informs training, and CHANGE IT. @drcooperowens #ACOGVirtual20
