I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. RT if you're with me.

@shannonrwatts Yes please.

If leaders are serious about ending war, women need a seat at the table.

International data, 1989-2011: When women are involved in agreements, peace is 35% more likely to last 15+ years.

Gender balance is especially important when the stakes are high and tempers run hot.

@AnnieAndrewsMD I had the same story, except mine was a boy and he was 3 days old. Here’s to giving them the future they deserve.

@terrilaguna So cute! Your pup is so proud. I love it!❤️❤️

@mdmdaware @doximity Thank you!! This is *so* good, something I have thought about often, especially as I face trainees and students. I, too, love my job, but the stresses of it cause me to think often, ‘what if…..?’ And if I truly had the choice again? I’m not sure…..

I just heard how many people are registered for this call and…

IT NEEDS TO BE MORE.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States. I pledge my full support to ensure her victory in November.

Now more than ever, it is crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump and the threat to American democracy.

Let’s get to work.

This is not the fault of individuals. Systems must change meaningfully. Otherwise, this will continue to happen. Our field & our patients will suffer.

Apparently today is #WomenEqualityDay…

Here’s how #healthcare is doing:

💵74 cents on the dollar for female physician compensation compared to that of male physicians

👩🏻‍⚕️Only 37% of the US physician workforce are women

🤰🏻Female physicians have a higher infertility and pregnancy loss rate than non-physicians

👋🏼In EM, female physician attrition is 14 years earlier than that of male EM physicians

📚In academic medicine, women have higher attrition rates at every career stage

🚨Suicide deaths are 250 - 400% higher among female physicians as compared to females in other professions

😡Over 50% of female physicians formally report experiencing sexual harassment…so the real number is much higher

…not so hot, huh?

Self care sometimes looks like refusing to engage with someone committing to misunderstanding you.
