Many of my colleagues on here have eloquently explained their concerns with the new CDC guidelines, so I’ll just add that any guidelines that include “Talk with your provider.” when 25% of Americans don’t have a PCP and 10% are uninsured is inherently problematic.
Until you have held the hand of a mother crying when a baby is born without a skull & the brain exposed, knowing nothing will soothe it until it passes, you have NO RIGHT to tell women what to do. Pregnancy is between a women & her physician. #women#AbortionIsHealthcare
Less than 40% of Black and Latinx people in the Mass have been vaccinated. To support removing all COVID restrictions and lifting the State of Emergency is to admit that all the talk of "equity" the last year was bullshit. It's to admit our lives just don't matter to you. #mapoli

Saying “secure elections” is the sanitized way to perpetuate the Big Lie without getting kicked off of the television or sued. But it’s the same thing, and for the same purpose. Our elections were not insecure. That’s a lie.
@DrPowerHays @StudentDocAda Then there comes a time when they hear you on the phone with a patient (or a resident when you get to be a faculty) and think they know just what to say since they have heard your end so many times ;)
@StudentDocAda Be patient when the non medical partner asks you for the umpteenth time as you leave home in the morning for a work day and a night on call whether you will be home for dinner
