Emergency med faculty @BMC_EM, Director for Social Justice Education @AmerMedicalAssn, trying to do my part to advance health equity & antiracism. Views my own.
Why are med schools offering classes on structural racism, you ask?
Because of Henrietta Lacks
Because of the Tuskegee Study
Because of experimental procedures on enslaved Black women
Because of unnecessary procedures on women in ICE detention centers
Because if you are Black or Hispanic & come to a hospital with a heart attack, you are more likely to experience a worse standard of care
The reasons are endless.
Everything is still on fire. Despite
your best efforts. In addition to living,
it is clear, that fire or not, you must
level up in what it means to thrive.
Right now, that means wrestling with
the truth in the fact that everything is
not all your fault.
in community, have the power to reimagine a future and recreate a world without this unbearable suffering. We must be “here to put out the ravenous flames and
heal the world. Enough is enough.”

Today is #ShowYourStripes day. A simple visual to understand how our climate and our world has changed in our lifetime due to human-caused @climatechange

One of the most effective things each of us can do is speak about it
Thanks @ed_hawkins

The addition of @MAMAVA pods to airports and other public spaces is such a beautiful thing for those times I don’t feel like breastfeeding in public. My little one and I appreciate it @BostonLogan and @PHXSkyHarbor!
