@allisonoconn@EEEaley I’ll just echo what others have said & say that if you want to improve care for patients, elevate the work of people who are promoting the measures you have concerns about (eating in labor, CEFM) instead of making sweeping statements like OB is the least evidence based field.
@allisonoconn@EEEaley The intermittent monitoring conversation is incredibly nuanced and requires a look at the litigation environment in OB. Also many hospitals do offer intermittent monitoring for low risk patients (without labeling them as non compliant)
@allisonoconn@EEEaley Restricting eating during labor is typically driven by our anesthesiology colleagues rather than OBs. & fundal height is a cheap and quick screening tool for fetal growth restriction, which can be devastating if missed. Yes it has low sensitivity but it has high specificity.
In Oklahoma, if a 13 year old girl is sexually abused and becomes pregnant, her abuser could spend as little as one year in jail & pay as little as a $500 fine.
But the doctor who helps her terminate her traumatic pregnancy can now face 10 YEARS in prison & a $100,000 fine.
Loving the (pre-presentation) audience applause for every medical student presentation here at SGS. Heart warming to see such effusive support of our early learners and their research efforts! @GynSurgery#sgs2022#gynfluencers
Fantastic lecture by Dr. @pturnermd, executive director of @AmCollSurgeons: “Surgeons: More to Unite Us than Divide Us.” Learned a fun fact that @acsJACS used to be the Journal of Surgery, Gynecology, and Obstetrics & was founded by a gynecologic surgeon! #SGS2022
Recharged, reinvigorated, and reconnected! Those are the 3 Rs of sustainability, right? 😉 Grateful for an inspiring and engaging @CleanMed conference! Time to get to work 💪🏼♻️ #CleanMedConnect
