Life, illness, wellness, the human body — all are ruled by some other force that we so strive to know but will never truly grasp. https://t.co/f27Qt8w2CH

@AJOG_thegray I cannot believe this was published. Is this really a reflection of our field in this day and age? Physical abuse + forced procedures are mistreatment, not violence?

Women should be free to choose the contraceptives they need without cost getting in the way.

So, we’re making contraceptives free.

Dear patient I had to share awful news with today:

When I close my eyes tonight, yours will be the first face I’ll see. I’ll wonder how you’re doing. I’ll wonder if I said the right words. I’ll keep hoping right alongside you & then pray for you, in this moment you’ll never see.

Having benefited from excellent mentors over the course of her career, a physician concludes that a true mentor is someone who has more imagination about you than you have about yourself. Read the full Perspective: https://t.co/V060Rg2FOk

Male doctors accounted for 83 per cent of reduction in physician work hours from 1987-2021, @CMAJ study says. But feminization of profession is always blamed, by @kellygrant1 https://t.co/mGLPew0ozG via @globeandmail @BorisKraljPhD

Wishing all #TemertyMed students best of luck on this #MatchDay. No matter the outcome, remember that your hard work and accomplishments are remarkable and deserve to be celebrated.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Man it really bothers me when people label certain specialty residency programs as “easy.” All it does is invalidate any mental/physical challenges trainees may have, and it’s just flat out wrong.

First baby born in the US today after uterine transposition! Am beyond words. God bless the brave women who have trusted us! It is a privilege to work with such amazing women!

[Shematologist, MD @acweyand]

Being a working mom is SO HARD.

Shout out to all y’all hanging by a thread but making it work.

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

In this study, medical students perceived that family planning and building is actively discouraged, especially in surgical specialties. Work towards changing the culture and the message to medical trainees is needed. https://t.co/phrwf13Yqs @dason_shirin @Madalina_Maxim5

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Few arguments are resolved by landing on the same page. Most are reconciled by recognizing that reasonable people can hold different views.

The highest goal of disagreement is not to determine who's right. It's to maintain mutual respect and gain mutual understanding.

Canada almost wiped out #syphilis. Now rates are skyrocketing — as more women, infants getting infected. Nearly 14,000 cases of infectious syphilis across Canada in 2022, and 117 congenital infections, by @LaurenPelley

This is not an #obgyn issue or an #REI issue, this is an issue for the House of Medicine. Will you stand with us @ASRM_org @MySMFM @AAGL @SocietyFP @NASPAG @urogynsociety @acog @SGO_org @NationalMedAssn other specialists and subspecialists

Thank a resident by paying them hourly.

Somehow I think the hospitals’ profit margins will survive.

If you understand the science of human reproduction and IVF then you can understand why equating a fertilized egg to a child is nonsensical and dangerous.

You’re children when it suits and adult learners when it suits. Depends which term can blame you as the problem more.

[D. King, MD @doctorORbust]

Stop referring to residents and medstudents as children.

With very few exceptions it’s not at all endearing.
