[Zack Kosak, MD @zkosak]

Excited to have put this together with colleagues from Pittsburgh - especially appropriate this time of year, too!

A statement on behalf of our department Chair and leadership at @Penn_DFMCH:

[AAFP @aafp]

The @aafp @ACPinternists @acog @AmerAcadPeds and @APAPsychiatric oppose #SCOTUS decision that criminalizes medical care. Patients, not policymakers, should make decisions about reproductive health. https://t.co/PBv7LqJftp

[AAFP @aafp]

#SCOTUS decision criminalizes medical care, undermines patient-physician relationship and exacerbates health inequities. #AAFP urges state legislators to strike down laws that jeopardize reproductive care and access. https://t.co/TVlAEHgadd

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

It’s a dark day for reproductive rights in America.

But I want every Pennsylvanian to know abortion services are available and unharmed by today’s ruling.

To women and pregnant people in surrounding states and across the country where this isn’t the case: You are safe here.

[Zack Kosak, MD @zkosak]

Patients deserve health care that is decided between them and their health care team. Today’s SCOTUS ruling disrupts this sacred standard that all physicians swear to uphold. Women deserve better, and we as #Familymed docs need to advocate for it.

[Zack Kosak, MD @zkosak]

“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent.” Standing with my patients today and always for their right to safe and effective reproductive health care.

[AAFP @aafp]

Patients must be able to depend on their physicians to help them make critical decisions about their personal and reproductive health. Physicians must be able to practice medicine informed by years of medical education, experience & the available evidence.

#TipsForNewDocs (Service Day 2)

Give your problem list a fresh look each day for each patient:
📈Reassess problems: Are they better, worse, unchanged?
📛Rename problems using most updated data: eg, SOB becomes pneumonia
🔢Reorder problems: What is most active?
