Structural Sex Discrimination: Why Gynecology Patients Suffer Avoidable Injuries and What the Law Can Do About It @SSRN https://t.co/SDYexv0yL9

[Mathew Leonardi MD PhD 🏳️‍🌈 @MathewLeonardi]

Let's keep talking about it

Want to see what we get paid for a laparoscopic myomectomy?

Remember - this is systemic discrimination against women's health.

Two #sheroes in 2 days. So proud to welcome @pturnermd & @KemiDoll to @PennMedicine for named lectures in @PennSurgery & Penn ObGyn/@PC3Innovation! 👸🏾

The worst thing about being a Gyn surgeon is working really hard, caring for your patients, validating their experiences and then being told by hospital admin that you’re a money loser. @jfitzgeraldMD @MigsRunner @ankitaguptamd @louise_p_king @OlgaTheOBGYN

So proud of the hard work of our team...particularly rising #MIGS fellow and superstar @HTRyles for elevating women's health and #gynsurgery. @UduakAndy @ChrisHongMD

[Veronica Lerner, MD @VeronicaLerner]

Presented at #SGS20232, hot off the press, and showcased by the Editor's pic, podcast, by amazing #MIGS star @MFarrowMD important work showing how far behind we are in meeting the standard of care in the management of ovarian torsion. 1/

PREACH.

Our patients absorb $35 BILLION/year in costs due to fibroids.

We literally have no novel treatments. Take them out or shrink them. Where’s the targeted gene therapy? Where are the selective hormone receptor blockers? Give us something!

Progress 💪

@PayamKashiMD @VeronicaLerner @beranMD @JovanaTavcar @CourtneyFoxMD @AAGLJMIG @drcaraking @MoMIGSMD Such an interesting thread. The mental calculus if you try to "prove" value for MIGS to leadership is really painful. Day surgery for hysterectomy with ERAS is a great example. Increasing our skill sets through fellowship allows us to offer women same day LSC surgery ...

[Kayla Nixon Marshall, MD, MS @KaylaNixonMD]

Amazing session on radiofrequency ablation! Did you know Black women are 50% less likely to be offered uterine-sparing treatments for fibroids? Despite ~80% of pts wanting to avoid invasive surgery. Another disparity we HAVE to fix! Thanks @JShepherd_MD @KimberlyKho1 @DukeSurgyn

#aagl21 Fantastic posters by my alma matter team at Virginia Mason on burnout in #MIGS. Again and again, we show that #burnout has nothing to do with individual wellness behaviors but rather systems. Pls stop with meditation, mindfulness, and wellness modules and face reality

[Veronica Lerner, MD @VeronicaLerner]

Individual wellness behaviors were not associated with burnout, while the culture of the work environment was associated with burnout, highlighting the need to look beyond individual behavior in the fight against physician burnout.

[NYT Health @NYTHealth]

Women surgeons are more likely to face pregnancy complications and loss, according to a new study. “There’s a culture of not asking for help, but this tells us there’s a health risk in it," said Erika Rangel, one of the paper's authors. https://t.co/PAYYpcmeHa

[Justin Maykel @justinmaykel]

Called a patient today to tell them their colonoscopy biopsies showed cancer. Patient already knew—got an automated alert earlier in the day and read the results on the online medical record. At home, alone.

This new law granting access to test results is a BIG problem.

Living in the intersection of racial and gender equity needs in OBGYN, I am happy to see #SGS2021 doing the work to address these topics!

#WomenInMedicine almost ALL work on #vacation but also realize this is detrimental to #WorkLifeBalance & #burnout - leaders/mentors please help set good example! https://t.co/G2o0WQ49nG @NarjustDumaMD @FutureDocs @ShikhaJainMD @RUBraveEnough @AMWADoctors @DrHowardLiu

[Monique Farrow, MD @MFarrowMD]

@MigsRunner @drjakelauer @drcaraking @DrOlgaTheOBGYN @WRossMD @drmiguelluna @WassonMegan @meenalmisalMD Agree with all points! But are we giving learners ample time outside the OR to learn these basic skills? When and how are others doing this at their institutions?

[Monique Farrow, MD @MFarrowMD]

Just binged 5 episodes of Gynecologic Surgeons Unscrubbed ☺️@drcaraking is a thoughtful and captivating host! Check it out! #SGS2021
