When women express pain, they are often perceived to be overestimating their symptoms or over-reacting (and being hysterical). As I discuss in Hysterical, ultimately it is rooted in the long history of medical misogyny, of hysteria, where most illnesses in women are seen to be 'of the mind' or psychosomatic, due to their nervous nature.

City of Hope in Duarte, CA, has maintained masking requirements, and this has prevented hospital-acquired COVID-19 there entirely, according to Dr. Trisal, chief medical officer. “Our policies enabled us to achieve 0 nosocomial infections, 0 outbreaks."

Advocacy doesn't always come with a title or a megaphone. You are probably an advocate without even knowing it. Sharing your experience with your spouse or a peer facing a similar situation or listening to others and their journey makes you an advocate.

When I ran a program for men who had been violent and abusive with their partners, we would always try to have contact with their partners. Why? 1. We wanted to hear about her experience of the abuse, as we didn't trust what we were being told by the men in the group 🧵

Whenever I see someone wearing a mask in public now, I have three thoughts:

1. They're sick and protecting me.
2. They're sick and protecting themselves.
3. They're perfectly healthy but protecting someone they love who is sick.

And in none of those scenarios is it my business.

New paper in the Lancet confirms gender-affirming care is preventative care.

- GAC is linked to improved quality of life
- GAC is an integral determinant of well-being
- GAC increases positive psych outcomes
- GAC must be considered preventative mental healthcare

The other day, one of my patients asked why young folks were still acquiring HIV? Fast forward to today, I have a young patient admitted to the hospital with complication from uncontrolled HIV. They had never been spoken to about HIV prevention...(thread)
