Politicians decided to insert themselves in the doctor patient relationship and we need to speak up until we get them the hell out of it.

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

One of the things I would like to see by the end of my career is for women to stop apologizing for normal things like unshaven genitals or menstruating when they come to the doctor. Please let's un-socialize women from healthcare related shame.

To anyone who thinks otherwise - I am not bashing the US healthcare system. I am highlighting how deeply inhuman the US INSURANCE system is. By & large, the doctors & nurses & other staff in US hospitals that I work with have been incredible. But the insurance system is cruel.

Hey @MedicareGov this chief resident in urology at Georgetown found you an extra potential $22 billion in savings.

We can prevent recurrent UTIs and the morbidity and expenses attached with safe local vaginal estrogen.

Just reminding everyone on international women's day that when started within 10 years of menopause, hormone therapy with estrogen can reduce all cause mortality by up to 30%.

Let's start talking about the risks of NOT offering hormones.

Health "insurance" is a joke.

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

Anticholinergics, which are considered a first line med therapy for overactive bladder can cause dry mouth in up to 69% of patients. Guess what has 0% risk of dry mouth? VAGINAL ESTROGEN. Vaginal estrogen should be the first line treatment for overactive bladder when appropriate

@RebecaSegraves It’s not just ‘harassment.’ It’s death threats

@AineYoreMD take me out of here

[Dr. Rebeca Segraves, DPT, WCS @RebecaSegraves]

An OB/GYN told me if I wanted every patient after cesarean section or abdominal surgery in general to have access to physical therapy in the hospital before discharge, then I would need to prove there was a benefit for this with research.

Here’s what I wish I would have known⬇️

🚨When it comes to pain, social factors MATTER 🔥🔥

Ostracism is associated with depression, suicidality, & PAIN👇🏼👇🏼

People who are ostracized experience ⬆️ pain sensitivity + may be more prone to developing chronic pain 👎🏼

I want the world to stop telling vulva owners that pelvic pain is a necessary part of their lived experience

absolutely unhinged behavior. this is why medical professionals fail women

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

32 physicians on the AMA RVU Update Committee advise Medicare on the "relative value" of healthcare services.

Only 4 of them are women. OB/Gyn gets one vote. It's not a stretch to surmise that equitable valuation of women's health is not a top priority. https://t.co/W1rmnjZXhs

[Erica Smith, M.Ed. @ericasmithsexed]

I love answering the most basic questions about sex that people are afraid to ask, bc they feel like they should already know. It's not embarrassing not to know, I promise. The state of sex ed in the US is abysmal, plus even good sex ed doesn't answer some of the questions I get.

[Rowan Unger, PT, DPT @transpelvicpt]

@rcpointdujour No, bc white supremacy is baked into the very foundation of this country and all its institutions. western imperialism has deliberately impoverished the global south to prop up "developed" countries' economies and standards of living

[Rowan Unger, PT, DPT @transpelvicpt]

fuck yeah, swear for your health ✨
