Thanks @dualipa for spending 970 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Fever. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/6M2wZ9G…

Shame on you @texmedPAC and @ajimmywidmer for endorsing a Governor who shows no regard for women, trans people or those affected by gun violence.

This PAC claims to want to “protect the practice of medicine and do what we have been trained to do - take care of patients.” Explain how you are helping me care for my patients with this endorsement? 2/

I’m OUTRAGED that @texmedPAC - the PAC representing *TX physicians* has endorsed @GovAbbott for reelection. As physicians we know the harm he has done taking away reproductive rights and threatening doctors with felony charges. 1/

@StevieWLevine Had so much fun talking to you both!

this week's #BFBA episode is one of my absolute favorites. we got to chat all things gyno w/the coolest doc i know @NazaneenH. thank you to all of the mythical beasts who submitted amazing questions. it's rare to have such a funny, frank convo about healthcare.

(6/6) We are spending all this time raising awareness, breaking down stigma, encouraging treatment, yet systems in place ultimately penalizing us for doing so. When will policy makers & insurance providers do better to ensure actions match what they say regarding mental health?

(5/6) I must consider that in recommending treatment, I am in essence ensuring that patients will not be able to get disability insurance for any future mental health conditions.

(4/6) Put another way, as I consider how best to address the common and acute mental health conditions of my obstetric patients (research shows that untreated parental mental health negatively impacts baby), contd

(3/6) Consider this: 1 in 7 people who give birth will experience perinatal mental health struggles. As an OBGYN, I pride myself in actively screening my patients for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and providing them with resources. And today, I took pause.

(2/6) I was told today that the disability insurance has now excluded mental health disorders until the age of 65. This means, that if I have to stop working for mental health reasons (burnout, for example, affects up to 75% of physicians according to studies) I won’t be covered.

(1/6) I’m currently applying for disability insurance (financial protection if I lose the ability to work). In the underwriting process, I disclosed my history of postpartum depression and anxiety, my use of an SSRI for 4 months, and three visits to a perinatal psychiatrist.

@HBSAlumni Thank you!!

Wishing a VERY happy #NationalDoctorsDay to #HBS alumni and MDs @LisaRotenstein @SamyuktaMD @howardpchen @RobinJTang @xrayunicorn @EvaMLuo @azaleakim @NazaneenH @epabo @chitra_mdmba @MayaBabuMD @OnusaMD @hulissy @DocAnitaGupta @DrDarria @RobertWahMD and @AmadioMD!

We have terrorists attacking government buildings and neither @realDonaldTrump or his family will condemn it. Unbelievable.
