When we have “grown up” in a world reverberating with #masculine voices, it is no wonder we have a critical reaction when clinical expertise and leadership are presented in an unfamiliar package. #WomeninMedicine

Always breaks my heart how much women patients apologize to their care teams in the ER. “Sorry I didn’t shave my legs” is the most common one. Please don’t apologize to us! No one needs to look their best in a medical emergency 💔

But let's remember here that the exposure of concern that leads to these disparate maternal mortality rates is not melanin content of skin, but systemic exposure to maltreatment on basis of it.

Or in simpler words, #ItsRacismNotRace.

I've had 3 unpaid maternity Leaves. Birthing babies has cost my family over $100k in lost income. I recently found out that those jobs also stopped contributing to my retirement during #maternityLeave. I experienced both long and short term consequences for bringing forth life.

[Wellbeing Foundation Africa @wellbeingafrica]

Very true @Jhpiego. Our success here with the #EmONC training and the #MamaCare program confirms this statement. Training #frontline #nurses & #midwives is key to promoting maternal & child health. @CMNHLSTMNigeria @JNJGlobalHealth

@dr_uche_bee 1.I wonder how many of those students with physician/lawyer/finance parents actually want to be in med school...parental pressure 2.Students without those parents may have more to lose and can potentially excel over their parental privileged counterparts
