Why is there a pair of forceps on this table of implements of torture? Not helping the cause of safe childbirth, #KillingEve!

@drkamiobgyn Happy birthday! (Mmm, cake...)

The trailer for the new Black Panther movie has me totally psyched for the release in November. #wakandaforever But I can't help but wonder if we're going to see a spike in demand for water births.

@cmmorosky @AlyssaFamy @GLBDallaghan @darubin_rubin And graduates from schools in restrictive states will take on leadership roles that perpetuate the school of thought in which they were trained, affecting education for another generation! #mededchat

@MedEdChat T4 Students will be less likely to apply to schools in states where their own choices are restricted. Schools should consider making provisions to cover expenses for students who need to travel to get abortions if desired. #mededchat

@MedEdChat These are the students that it will be particularly important to educate about reproductive health. They may not get any training beyond med school, but will continue to care for women with complex health issues that complicate their reproductive plans. #mededchat

[Jonathan Schaffir MD @drschaffir]

@MedEdChat Students will miss out on valuable examples of patient counseling that are inclusive and balanced. #mededchat
