@lgobrito @ZePauloGuida @allisonoconn @BrighamWomens @BrighamMedRes @BWHWomensHealth seems like there needs to be some convos….a grand rounds maybe?
English
@ZePauloGuida @allisonoconn I would love to see a talk between residencies about it at @BrighamWomens - what does the ObGyn department thinks - this is a serious sentence.
English
Obstetrics has the least evidence-based medicine out of any medical field and we should never label a woman as “non-compliant” when they refuse prenatal care that has never been demonstrated to improve outcomes.

What opinion about Pregnancy would put you in this position.

@allisonoconn The most dangerous doctors are the ones who don’t know what they don’t know.
English
@allisonoconn has chosen to reply to many other discussions about what she has said but hasn’t addressed the discussion of the privilege that she invoked when discussing noncompliance. These are the same folks who use #blm and claim to be allies. @MamaDoctorJones

@allisonoconn You chose to phrase your thoughts ambiguously and in an intentionally inflammatory manner for attention. If this had been your original tweet there would have been no disagreement. I hope you carefully consider the weight and power of your words moving forward.
English
@WalkerWitch94 @allisonoconn Check her comments and see why it’s not. Thanks for your input. Have a great day.
English
@IrobundaMd @allisonoconn That is a wholly inappropriate question to ask a stranger.
English
Inviting @allisonoconn to have a real convo about the impact of her words.
Allison Fitzgerald, MD, PhD@allisonoconn
Helloooo by no means do I believe (nor did I say) women don’t need prenatal care or that as a whole it doesn’t improve outcomes. There are aspects of prentatal care that are not evidence based and women should be allowed to make their own medical decisions without repercussions!
English
@allisonoconn I invite you to see what your words have started. Feel free to engage in a good faith conversation and not more flippant tweets. My DMs are open.

I cannot get past a doctor losing the plot so starkly they center privileged choices to denounce "non-compliant" labels when this is so disproportionately placed on marginalized ppl who CAN'T consistently access care.
@IrobundaMd pointed this out & it's so damn accurate.

@DrMitaHopp @allisonoconn @BrighamMedRes Of course I don’t think that it would. But I also think that she prominently holds up her credentials as ways to legitimize what she has to say on this platform.
English
@IrobundaMd @allisonoconn @BrighamMedRes I mean, i don’t think any provider on here thinks the views of one individual represent the whole institution 🤷🏾♀️ the fancy disclaimer that ppl have doesn’t functionally do much.
English
@AnnLedbetter6 @allisonoconn We should examine the why behind that….let’s see….the unwillingness to do RCTs on pregnant individuals….
English
@allisonoconn I think it's pretty clear that prenatal care (on the whole) improves outcomes and that minimal/no prenatal care is linked to worse outcomes...but I hear you. A lot of recommendations in OB are based on "expert opinion" rather than solid EBM. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

People need to start understanding what folks are asking of us. It’s ridiculous
Dr. Tiffani Johnson, MD, MSc@DrTiffJohnson
I felt VERY uncomfortable sending this email…but working on normalizing compensating Black women for their labor and acknowledging that I need to prioritize rest to do this important work (and therefore have to stop agreeing to give talks at 4:45 or 5am)
English
@garnethenderson @tsmendola Every single field of people have influencers….and if docs as influencers are cringey….so is everyone else. Who exactly are you so upset about? I feel like actually talking to some of us in this space would have been more beneficial than this thread.
English
@tsmendola Lol. I do also think that a lot of them are probably trying to prove it's not just surgeons who work hard, and I get it. The entire doctor-as-influencer thing is extremely cringey to me
English
I have tremendous respect for doctors and I know they work very hard, but one thing the current influencer doctor trend is revealing is that doctors think they work way more than everybody else and that is just... not true
English
@garnethenderson @tsmendola Do you work a 24 hour plus day? Because I do that at least once a week in addition to my 12 hour shifts….
English
@tsmendola Yes! I agree with all of that and don't mean to be dismissive of the very real labor issues they're facing. But instagram is full of reels from physicians who seem to have zero awareness that working a 10+ hour day is normal in a lot of fields, especially for low-wage workers
English
@LifeNewsHQ @SixDemonHag @rickinabox1 @RewireNewsGroup Abortion reversal pills is not healthcare. The docs who provide them or quacks. And I say that as a gynecologist. Stop wasting everyone’s time with this drivel.
English
@SixDemonHag @rickinabox1 @IrobundaMd @RewireNewsGroup No, we cited doctors who are providing the health care in question.
English
Good morning, everyone! @garnethenderson, RNG's senior multiplatform reporter, here again today with live updates from the second and final day of FDA advisory committee hearings on OTC birth control.
The meeting starts momentarily and ends at 1:30pm ET.
English
@LifeNewsHQ @RewireNewsGroup Lies and fallacies. Stop lying to people!
English
@IrobundaMd @RewireNewsGroup Thousands of babies born after abortion pill reversals say otherwise.
English
@LifeNewsHQ @RewireNewsGroup What you are talking about in terms of “reversal” pills are not in any way scientific!
English
@RewireNewsGroup So you support progesterone-based birth control but oppose progesterone-based abortion pill reversals. So hypocritical.
