"There is a fix to this problem: Require health insurance plans to cover IVF for patients who need it."

Read the full statement from Sean Tipton, ASRM's Chief Advocacy & Policy Officer, on President Trump's executive order on IVF access: https://t.co/v9p1CpLY4i

"The president made a very big deal about IVF for the campaign," said ASRM Chief Advocacy & Policy Officer Sean Tipton. "Why not do something positive like provide IVF for everybody?" https://t.co/rsFs9tQuM7

"The President can and should demonstrate his commitment to IVF access for all Americans by immediately ensuring that all federal employees, civilian and military, have access to IVF." -

I gave GPT o1 my final round Bain case interview and it crushed it within two prompts. Entry level consultants will be the first to go due to AI - see for yourself.

NEJM has put out 3 separate pieces of anti-wellness content in the last few weeks.

Here’s the problem with their thesis - duty hour limitations are not a wellness intervention. They are a workers rights issue along with low wage labor, FMLA, and maternity leave.

@lepomjames Never, can’t replace that stamp, but it may lead to leaner teams…

@CatholicJosh I was referring to his calling children “commodities.”

[Esther H. Chung, MD @drestherchung]

Frozen Embryos are NOT unborn children. They embody hope and science, NOT personhood. They also are NOT commodities. Senator, you’re more than welcome to shadow any of us fertility docs out there before you do any more interviews. 🤯 #ivf #Alabama #embryos #reproductiverights

Fertility preservation stands out as a critical strategy to help bridge gender gaps and attrition of female participation in medicine, esp. in academia and leadership. Make it more accessible to residents & fellows across this country. #WomenInMedicine #eggfreezing #residency

[Esther H. Chung, MD @drestherchung]

As a PGY-6, just had my embryo freezing visit--thanks to our union advocating for more fertility benefits for trainees. Despite insurance, the process is still SO CASH and has me wavering. Given that we know doctors have 2x the rate of infertility, we deserve better. #infertility

@abracadabravir I was at a good academic program far from home. I nearly lost myself during and towards the end of my 4 years.. I don’t like to think on it much. But the pandemic enabled my long distance SO to work from home. Him moving to me gave me the support I needed to cross the finish line

[Esther H. Chung, MD @drestherchung]

Please let our patients be. Please let us take care of them to the best of our knowledge. Please don’t pretend to understand infertility, IVF, abnormal genetics, miscarriage and pregnancy loss. #alabama #reproductiverights #miscarriage #infertility #embryo #pregnancyloss #ivf

Fertility and abortion rights have always been opposite sides of the same coin. People should have the right to control their reproductive destinies. The cessation of IVF in AL is a direct consequence of anti-choice politicians and people need to realize that.

[Esther H. Chung, MD @drestherchung]

Frozen embryos are potential, not 'extrauterine unborn children.' They embody hope and science, not personhood. Shame on these justices for not considering the consequences to our infertility patients. #IVF #AlabamaSupremeCourt #ReproductiveRights

[Esther H. Chung, MD @drestherchung]

Alabama clinics have had to pause their IVF cycles after this jaw-dropping ruling of embryos having personhood. It affects real people trying so hard to build their families. IVF provides hope to so many--that hope is now on indefinite pause in a US state. #reproductiverights

[Esther H. Chung, MD @drestherchung]

Does he think that pregnancy doesn't come with weight gain, depression (postpartum) and suicidal risk? Pregnancy is a very vulnerable time and exposes you to far higher hormonal levels. Elon does not have a uterus or ovaries, nor is a trained OB/GYN. This is wildly misleading.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression & triples risk of suicide.

This is the clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it.

[Esther H. Chung, MD @drestherchung]

The Alabama Supreme Court ruling grants legal "personhood" to "fertilized eggs." This greatly complicates (and limits) how IVF is practiced, particularly around the creation & disposition of surplus embryos. What are your thoughts? #Bioethics #ReproductiveRights #AlabamaRuling

[resolveorg @resolveorg]

The Alabama Supreme Court recently ruled that “Frozen embryos are ‘children,’ Alabama Supreme Court rules in couples’ wrongful death suits.” This ruling has profound implications far beyond Alabama’s borders. Take action. Sign up for RAN➡️ https://t.co/gucukMPUsf
