i caught the first 2 babies of my career in the past week and honestly i couldn’t be more excited about going into this field. women are incredible. #medtwitter #LifeOfaMedStudent #WomenInMedicine #OBGYN

[Jasmine Johnson, MD FACOG @JasmineRJohnson]

Have you ever had to tell someone that continuing their very desired pregnancy could kill them? I have. No one should have to make that gut-wrenching decision. Forced birth in a country with one of the highest maternal mortality rates is absurd.

This was never about “pro-life”.

[Meenal Misal, MD @meenalmisalMD]

As a person, I am outraged. As a woman I feel sick. As an OBGYN I am scared.

[Desmond Sutton, MD @DesmondSuttonMD]

It should tell you something when the people whose job is to deliver babies are telling you how important access to safe and legal abortion is.

We are so tired. The misinformation makes me livid but humans have to make their own choices. Please #GetVaccinated

@DGlaucomflecken You cannot reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

It’s August 1, 2021 and vagina surgeons still out here getting paid less than penis surgeons

I want to discuss a difficult subject: Male partners’ entitlement to women’s and pregnant patients bodies 🧵 1/

Stop telling women they have ovarian cysts when they SIMPLY ARE OVULATING

[Amy Addante, MD, MSCI (she/her/hers) @DrAmyAddante]

1/Today I was providing abortion care. Something I am proud to do. But today, something happened that angered me to my core. Today, I had to hold the hand of a sobbing patient who had been traumatized by a crisis pregnancy center (CPC).

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

I’ve been thinking about the paid leave for miscarriage. When I delivered at 22 weeks my then husband could only take 2 days off work. He had to go back to work 2 days after our son died and I was still pregnant with the other 2 (and quite ill) not knowing if they would die.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

I love it when somebody tweets a very normal thing about the American healthcare system and people in other countries reply with pure astonishment and genuine concern for our well being

WHO: What if the vaccine crosses the placenta? 😱

Me: 🎼 Fetuses tolerate maternal death poorly. Hashtag shared decision making 🎶

[qterus, MD @qterus]

@alex_coston Not just you! Even the word histrionic is derived from hysteria (hyst = womb/uterus). It’s 100% rooted in sexism. I feel like Cluster B personality disorders tend to have the most overlap, so I just refer to them all as Cluster B traits personally 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Thank you @NBMEnow for canceling step 2 CS. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still a garbage organization for forcing broke med students to take out student loans to pay for this pointless test for the last 16 years, but this is a good start.

Science is science & data are data. Doctors have no reason to make up #COVID19 case numbers, & in fact many have died from the virus. It’s irresponsible & dangerous to suggest doctors, incl. #obgyns, have done anything other than bravely battle this pandemic. #NoSpinJustScience

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

Good Lord.

Suggestions include attending a tuition-free medical school, “improving financial literacy,” and applying to fewer medical schools.

Why not include “Don’t be poor” while you’re at it?

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

I feel like there's a lot of "calm down" happening and I'm here to provide the counter: saying "calm down" rarely results in that, and now is not the time to calm down anyway. Go on, freak the f*ck out if you need to.

[Vanni Rodriguez @VanniRod]

Gotta love it when they call a patient altered, then you go and chat with them in Spanish and they give you a history... like his not altered he just don’t know english 🙄 #RepresentationMatters
