Dr. Elizabeth Swisher, Marc Radke, & Isabel Rodriguez authored "Genomic and epigenomic BRCA alterations predict adaptive resistance and response to platinum-based therapy in patients with triple-negative breast and ovarian carcinomas", published in Science Translational Medicine!
A patient told the team last week that her insurance wouldn’t cover the cost of her hospitalization for an IOL/TOP for a lethal fetal anomaly but they would cover the cost of carrying her pregnancy to term and delivering a baby that won’t survive.
Where is the justice in that.
Abortion is not just health care, it is a human right. Beyond infringing on bodily autonomy, there are conditions in pregnancy that result in death without safe abortion care. This is a calling for all in medicine to stand on the side of justice https://t.co/8FdGtvwI2L
NEW: Black residents are being forced out of training at rates much higher than their white colleagues. It's a crisis that has largely remained invisible because no one is tracking the numbers and few are willing to speak about it. My new report: https://t.co/hjN0eITv9l
Women deserve sexual wellness and health. They deserve resources. We are the keepers of those resources.
Great talk by @DrLaurieMintz and @babymamadoctor at the @acog ACSM!

Yesterday we removed a mass the size of a large watermelon out of a patient’s abdomen.
Today we rounded on her. She was relieved and grateful and so sincere.
I have never felt like such a badass.

My #GynOnc fellow brings me chocolate croissants when we’re on call over the weekend. They’re flaky and delicious and life giving. #SavingLives@UWashOBGYN
We believe strongly that access to abortion is healthcare and is essential to ensuring that people can control their own bodies and lives. Denying access to abortion worsens inequities and is a threat to the health and dignity of all of us #AbortionIsEssential
