So could getting a grant from this organization compel them to…

It wasn't worth it, he is now working less and happier, even though there is a need and doing locums in rural areas and moonlighting is always available. Do go back…

@A4Horg @CRCook1978 @AgnesSolberg @SashaShillcutt @texmed @PAMEDSociety In the vox article, the reporter states that anesthesiologist are one of the highest earning medical specialties. What the author does not tell you is that almost 40% of them are doing extra clinical work for this money. So divest yourself of the notion it's a 9-5 job. And given…

Here is a slide from the study that the vox article referenced that indicates what anesthesiologists find hard about their job. Besides the long hours and endless glut of regulations, it is 💯 true that despite a fair surprise medical billing law, anesthesiologists and other docs…

This summer, the most progressive city in America was asleep while an exceptional hospital was placed on life support. Carney Hospital serves the most vulnerable in our city: immigrants, seniors, people of color & low income families. We still have time to save Carney Hospital!

Healthcare & medicine are already politicized. We’re seeing that especially lately. It’s up to us as doctors to use our platform & expertise to ensure that patients’ well-being & evidence-based measures are prioritized. Read below from previous @RFPU_NW President @yzhangmd1

Note that all the above is part of why "pregnant people" is an important term: some children can get pregnant. They are not women, but they are people. Saying that abortion bans only impact women not only erases trans people, but it's also harmful to child victims of SA.
