Today is my 32nd birthday and despite being a physician and attorney I have never had a job that provides 12 weeks of paid parental leave.

The system is not designed for women to succeed.

[Washington Post Opinions @PostOpinions]

A law to protect women from abortion pills endangers them instead, @GreerDonley and @KimiChernoby write. https://t.co/Z3tZJ30tL8

[Kimi Chernoby, MD JD MA @KimiChernoby]

When an article uses pictures of the @GWEMresidency residents you brought to a SCOTUS rally AND cites an article you wrote with @AcuntoBrian and your OG EMTALA co-author @GreerDonley it’s EMTALA full circle

[The Regulatory Review @TheRegReview]

Many lawsuits in the United States are asking whether emergency medical providers must offer abortions. Read analysis on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in this week’s Saturday Seminar. https://t.co/25heE6eiYF

@gbosslet How about two hospitals in the same system asking you to do the same modules because they have different med staff offices 🫠

[Alice Miranda Ollstein @AliceOllstein]

Doctors torn between conflicting state & federal laws when it comes to abortions in medical emergencies say fear of state prosecution outweighs fear of federal enforcement, and that an upcoming SCOTUS ruling could make things worse. https://t.co/G1cWvWyQfc w/ @meganmesserly

1/After a decade working on #cholera in #Haiti, a disease introduced by #UN peacekeepers, many are concerned about the unintended harms of yet another police force to Haiti that fails to address prior harms.

There is a better way. I wrote about it @thehill.

@DogMomPriya I have the one from article, biggest downside is the fabric has pilled a lot but I also do no upkeep—but has a whole queen size memory foam mattress inside!

This story is wild.

(And unfortunately, something I expect we’ll see more of in the future.)

[Kimi Chernoby, MD JD MA @KimiChernoby]

Today is my 35th birthday and soon I will take unpaid parental leave for the second time. But I will never stop fighting for a world in which my kids have access to comprehensive parental leave. 💫💫

35million priorauths submitted to @MedicareGov #MedicareAdvantage in a year - assuming 5 min/each and $20/hour of staff time (underestimated since this is physician/RN/admin blended time) that’s $58million of just labor cost.

Not including denials/appeals…

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Today, Idaho was at the Supreme Court arguing that hospitals should be allowed to deny pregnant women the emergency medical care necessary to save her health or life if that care includes an abortion.

[Planned Parenthood Action @PPact]

ER doctors and nurses should be freed to give care, to save lives and provide medical treatment to anyone who needs it — without politicians coming between patients and emergency care #BansOff

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

🎉 Big change from @USDOT:

If your flight gets delayed or canceled, airlines now have to refund you automatically in CASH.

Refunds cover:
- Delayed flights (3+hrs domestic, 6+ hrs int’l)
- Airport changes
- Added connections
- Service class downgrade
- Accessibility changes

[ACOG @acog]

Emergency access to abortion care can be the only way to save the lives of people experiencing complications caused or exacerbated by pregnancy. More than two dozen leading medical organizations urge #SCOTUS not to weaken #EMTALA. Read the full statement: https://t.co/SVNK25yBpY

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…

Yes, medical residents are once again exempted from being paid overtime.

See p. 378 of the final rule PDF:

[Kimi Chernoby, MD JD MA @KimiChernoby]

This one’s for the EMTALA nerds

[Kimi Chernoby, MD JD MA @KimiChernoby]

Also, how cool is it that @GWEMresidency canceled grand rounds tomorrow so residents could attend! Advocacy is crucial to our work as doctors, and nothing is closer to ER doc hearts than EMTALA!!

[Kimi Chernoby, MD JD MA @KimiChernoby]

As likely the only board certified EM physician and repro rights attorney in the country, few things get me fired up like EMTALA and the denial of emergency abortion care. Our patients deserve better. Join us tomorrow as we rally for patients at SCOTUS 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[National Women's Law Center @nwlc]

EMTALA saves lives.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

Shortly after the fall of ‘Roe v. Wade' in 2022, @SkyePerryman @GreerDonley & @KimiChernoby sounded the alarm that far-right extremists had set their anti-abortion sights on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. https://t.co/Ff2IG5RlIp
