THE ONLY REASON THEY PUT THE PLACEBO WEEK IN THERE WAS TO MIMIC THE CONCEPT OF NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING. NO ONE REALLY HAS TO HAVE A PERIOD IF THEY DON’T WANT ONE.

@Sassafrass_84 Being AntiFa makes you stronger, more resilient.

96 years old. No oxygen mask. No blackouts. Grandpa just went back into his prime days. He went to straight solider zone. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My fellow capturing me in my natural state: Taking photos of poorly designed and wasteful packaging to push the manufacturer to change. Single use supplies are always worse for the environment, partly due to packaging, which can be huge in size. @HCWithoutHarm #ClimateCrisis

@elonmusk Because they’re a lower price labor force. Where’s the data on compensation?

@pagingdrsank You’ll do great!

I’m going to Dallas next week for the thing that every OBGYN dreads and I want to throw up.

Happy National Latino Physician Day! 🥳🎉 Thank you to all the Hispanic and Latino physicians for your dedication and contributions to healthcare. Su trabajo hace una gran diferencia cada día. #DíaDelMédicoLatino #DiversityInMedicine

Congrats to Dr. Augustinovich who was awarded by ACOG District VIII for our research on in-office hysteroscopy.

@ImpossiblyBossy Gynecologist based in PHX here: there are plenty of physicians in town, including myself, that are willing to be open minded, compassionate and evidence based. Happy to see new patients for their gyn needs.

Dr. Greg Marchand, ladies & gents. He's a bad person, and honestly, I can't imagine ever being in his care. A thread of just a few reviews, from different sites. (I picked reviews 1+ years old, to filter out people doing reviews based on his internet BS). Obvious CW.

So proud of the group of authors that put in the hard work to execute this study and get it published in @greenjrnl. Job well done! @UAZMedTucson

As if there was any doubt… @taylorswift13 endorses @KamalaHarris

@DrZedZha I am all for patient autonomy and when a patient desires a hysterectomy, I will help them. But with studies showing risk of dementia, cv event, etc. do you think there will be a swing away from doing hysts when there is no detectable pathology?

My patient who has fought for decades to get a hysterectomy was recently told she would finally get one because her uterine ultrasound showed “probable” cancer. Only caveat: biopsy showed no cancer! She was 20 and a mother of ONE when she asked for a hysterectomy for the 1st time — “you might want a second child.” She was 25 and a mother of TWO when she asked for a hysterectomy for the 2nd time — “you are too young.” Now she is 45 and a mother of THREE, biopsy benign, but getting her uterus taken out because of “shadows on ultrasound.” I had no word to comfort her. We just sat together and wept. The uterus is the only organ in the body whose removal doesn’t require confirmation of pathology — but ONLY if you are old enough to have had “enough” children. Young women = baby vessels. Older women = owners of an “useless” organ. Either our organs get tossed around, or our lives get tossed around. Even shadows in sound wave imaging trumps our bodily autonomy. Its 2024. How about we treat women as who they truly are — owners of their organs, bodies, AND voices?

@jjfitzgeraldMD Our division is aptly named advanced gyn for that very reason

I hate the phrase “Benign Gyn” because it insinuates that heavy bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse, incontinence, menopause, pelvic floor spasm, ovarian torsion, cyst ruptures, pelvic inflammatory disease, and tubo-ovarian abscesses are benign. And they are not.

@octopuscaveman I feel attacked

Girls named Andrea are always like “actually it’s pronounced Andrea”

@SydneyDiulus We did a similar retrospective study at my former institution. Will be presenting it at our ACOG district VIII meeting next month. Hopefully will publish soon! Bottom line, it’s feasible, cheaper and less wasteful compared to going to the OR.

Patients over 18 who were enrolled in the study underwent operative hysteroscopy in an ambulatory setting without anesthesia and patients answered questions regarding pain level and tolerability shortly after completion of the procedure.

The aim of this prospective observational cohort study was to assess feasibility of office based operative hysteroscopy for removal of EP or RPOC by a hysteroscopic tissue removal system without anesthesia. @AAGLJMIG

@SydneyDiulus @AAGLJMIG One hinderance may be insurance. I was informed by reps that there is no office billing code for hysteroscopic myomectomy. So I don’t do them in office. Although, not sure how a patient could tolerate a myomectomy of significant size without anesthesia.

Since the development of small diameter hysteroscopic instruments with operative channels, office based hysteroscopy has become more widely available. However, it has still been mainly offered to patients with intrauterine pathologies <2 cm in diameter. @AAGLJMIG

Just wanted to share this undoctored, unedited video of @VP Harris taking the stage in Glendale on Friday.
