PE thread:

One of the challenges with fighting private equity in medicine is the lack of data. We need to look at costs, outcomes, burnout, etc pre/post PE acquisition. We all know pushing medicine further into for profit territory is bad, but we need data to show how bad it is

This isn't just cholera. This is cholera in Haiti as hospitals and a major purified water distributor have had to close because of the gas shortages. Insecurity and blocked roads have made everything even more complicated.

If you've never been a doctor where abortion is only allowed if a woman would die without it, let's say this: it's a place where women are not listened to and neither are their doctors. It's a place where they may only prove they would die without it by dying.

I just need to remind you all that Big Chief Darryl Montana’s Mardi Gras Indian Suit was so extraordinary that it bent the space/time continuum in its symphony of hand beaded, Swarovski crystaled, feathered master craftsmanship. Whew chiiiillleee #NOLA #fortheculture

@aajnyc Ohhhh so curious.

4 things the rules of war state about civilians:

1. Civilians cannot be targeted.

2. Civilians cannot be used as human shields.

3. Civilians must have safe passage to flee.

4. Humanitarian organizations must have access to deliver aid to civilians.
