Oh, HEY THERE! We had to take a little break (🧘‍♀️) but our newsletter is kicking back off with a doozy: women's experiences in healthcare. Quelle surprise that 4 in 5 women report not being listened to by their healthcare providers... 🙄 https://t.co/js0kcyVVE1

When you are more exercised by the words of a woman than your government's appalling record on charging rapists you cannot pretend to care.

Rapists are left in every corner of our country to rape again and again.

Where was the shouting for that?

Mississippi has a dual distinction of spawning the law that led to SCOTUS striking down Roe v. Wade.

It is also unique among Deep South states for doing the least to provide health care coverage to low-income people who have given birth.

My cervix might not have had the training, and it didn't go to a fancy university, but it has absolutely tried its best.

Doctors worldwide didn't all individually decide on their own to doubt patients. They were trained to do this.
Today I am remembering this Medscape practice question, since removed. What hasn't been removed is systematic mistrust of patients, and all the harm it causes.

We made an infographic of some of the key results from the survey.

The Times saying the quiet part out loud here.

Only white men have kudus & authority when it comes to Covid data. Nice try @chrischirp & @dgurdasani1 but until you get a penis I’m afraid nobody’s listening.
