@ivymycin Had a colleague compare my braids I had in to ‘carpet’ and tell me it’s ‘weird’. Honestly going to work for us comes with added dehumanisation and trauma
I saw a patient with currently undiagnosed but symptomatically very likely endometriosis. Every month before her period she is in extreme pain and profusely vomits. Due to this she becomes suicidal each time. Every. Month.
We are losing women to this condition.
Howled tears in a corner for 3hrs, whilst senior staff (who’ve never met me before) decided to stop me sitting my exam based on one piece of info they were given - that I turned up in a wheelchair. I feel discriminated against, my lifelong, stable condition totally misunderstood.
Although the med school was aware I was doing today’s exam whilst an inpatient, when they saw me in my wheelchair they immediately deemed me too unwell - too unwell to sit at a computer for a few hours - just because I was in a wheelchair.
We wanted to introduce ourselves as the current Officers of MWF!
We are looking forward to the couple of years ahead where we will continue to advocate for women in healthcare, spearhead campaigns, hold events and workshops and of course host our popular annual conference! (1/2)
We are calling for articles to be submitted for the next edition of Medical Women magazine!! Information given in this post. Deadline July 28th, submit to [email protected]
Really enjoying @medicalwomenuk ‘s conference already and it’s only been an hour! Loving the engagement of listeners in the chat and the support and camaraderie amongst everyone ☺️ #mwfspringconf2023
I have received “a serious threat from National Action London” notifying me of their “intention to kill” me & my family. They name my husband & home address.They don’t consider killing me ‘murder’ they call it an ‘execution’. This letter was through my front door
This is Britain
