My brilliant colleague @EmoryMedicine classmate @EssenceStrength reminds us to bring #humanity to our #birth work
Isn’t that at the heart of the Black #maternalhealth crisis? When patients aren’t seen as fully human and providers lose their humanity 😔

A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.
PCA members @EssenceStrength and @marionmccrarymd chatted about their life philosophy and coaching for physicians who want to be well while doing good work.

This thread reminds me of a recent conversation I had about the gaslighting nature of how "resilience" is used. No one judges a rubber band for breaking when it is stretched too far. From how stretched are we expected to bounce back? #HelpingHealersBeWell
Reproductive health disparities are NOT limited to obstetrics outcomes. Inequities exist in #infertility & #NIAW2021 is an excellent time to educate patients AND physicians. Our infographic was developed with @BirthEquity and @ReprodMed Please share widely! #whatIwantyoutoknow

Last night I, along with a coalition of Black physicians, met with the President and Senior Leadership of the AMA.
Here’s what went down:
A thread.
Points Black scholars keep making:
- Correction is not derision
- Critiques of whiteness are about structure & systems of power, NOT individual white people
- Discourse on structural racism makes you uncomfortable because those racist bones in your body are acting up again
