menstrual products cause bodily harm. toothpaste causes dental issues for women because it was designed for men specifically. Male baldness is studied more than endometriosis....They created a male birth control but pulled it when it was linked to cancer, & acne, hairloss, mood swings...yet women have been living with those same risks for decades. This is more than medicine; it's proof of a system that protects men's comfort while ignoring women's pain.

Greta Thunberg is being tortured in Israeli captivity, as revealed by fellow activists:

“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others”

as it’s been said, tylenol is the only thing pregnant ppl can take for pain. all they want is to make women suffer.

[Laura Robinson @LauraRbnsn]

Because it's the one painkiller women can safely take while pregnant and there's a deeply held cultural belief that suffering mothers produce happier kids.

Trump wants to replace doctors with AI to determine whether Medicare patients get the care they need.

A machine will have the ability to override a licensed doctor to deny care in order to increase profits. Make no mistake, this is a direct attack on Medicare.

Babies can only have milk. They can’t even have water. Since Israel is banning all aid including baby formula, these babies will die. And since Israel is also starving everyone in Gaza, moms can’t nurse their babies either. They’re just watching their babies die as they die to.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A bomb has destroyed the American Reproductive Centers, a California fertility center and IVF lab. California. One person is dead. And these people call themselves Christians?

As Trump shuts down the suicide hotline, Canada has broadcasted their national hotline which now has a toll-free American version: 1-877-330-6366

I’ve been asked—yet again—to stop in the middle of my surgery day and justify why a patient scheduled for DIEP flap needs an overnight hospital stay. While I’m in the OR doing the hard work of breast reconstruction, I’m also expected to fight the system outside of it.

[Elisabeth Potter MD @EPotterMD]

I stepped out of a new patient’s consult to have this peer to peer call at the only time offered to me. You may remember an insurance company recently insisting that they’d never interrupt patient care for insurance matters. Reality Check…it happens all the time.

The doctor I spoke with was a general surgeon who had never performed breast reconstruction. He declined to give me his name, citing concerns for his personal safety. He was polite, but ultimately told me that United considers nerve sparing mastectomies “experimental”. He would not provide a written rationale or references for the studies used to make this determination.

But he kindly invited me to appeal.

Sure. What a great idea. The patient and I have all the time in the world. Let’s do this all over again.

Until we are seen and heard.

Something is very wrong.

At least six Newton-Wellesley nurses working the same maternal ward have been diagnosed with brain tumors.

One nurse says as many as 10 may be affected.

Rumeysa was kidnapped in plain sight & sent to Louisiana to be locked in the same detention center Mahmoud Khalil was sent to.

She's a peaceful protestor, grad student, & my constituent who has a right to free speech & due process.

Now she's a political prisoner. Free her now.
