Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.
70 PAGES OF RUBBISH FAXED TO MY OFFICE.
A doctor is referring a patient to me for HEADACHE. The EMR is 70 pages long of every frickin diagnosis the patient ever had. Every medicine, surgery, allergy etc. the patient ever had. Medicine is being buried under documentation bloat: 70-page EMRs full of autogenerated narrative, but no clear patient story, no synthesis, and no human clinical reasoning. And this is for a patient with headaches. I know this is a very real frustration for small private practice offices.
curiosidade: atletas de handebol de praia da Noruega solicitaram não usar biquíni em Tokyo, alegando que era desconfortável e sexualizava elas. Recusaram o pedido dizendo que quebrava as regras, elas foram de shorts, mas todas foram multadas.
O problema não são as mulheres.
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
