“Once I took the surgical cap off, I saw that she had thick, dark, curly hair like my daughters’ hair,” said Dr. Greywoode. While under anesthesia he braided his patient's natural hair in a way where he wouldn’t have to shave it during skull surgery. Black medical directories are essential. #DemsUnited

@Heather133872 @be_like_ice I go to great lengths to add soothing tones and soft words to ask very basic questions and I really don’t get why four words were worse than ten sometimes. I do understand context and reading the room. But sometimes it’s like, I asked bc I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ and you do know.

@Heather133872 @be_like_ice No it’s a legit question and you’re responding exactly as OP is wondering about and quite frankly me too!! 😂 I mean this sincerely bc you said it implies you’d done something wrong, but when I get mad at NDs for questions it makes it seem like asking questions is wrong too🫠

@sluvity_____ Marriage 🤷🏻♀️ apparently it was really bad for my health.

And this is why I don't trust the sudden onset of the idea that "college is a scam". It's not a coincidence that higher education has started losing its value in society's eyes now that women outperform men.

@code_mom_ @Caripka @petersterne Nope. They happen in a number of ways. That’s just one way that would indicate she’s going to give birth. They could have at the VERY LEAST released her from the handcuff and positioned her more appropriately for a safe delivery, no?? Wasn’t suggesting this is a movie 😂

@jchristi111 @Caripka @petersterne TBF labor absolutely can be a surprise and when you’re birthing without intervention your water usually doesn’t break until right before the baby is born.
I don’t know exactly how this one went down but labors don’t happen like movies

It is remarkable how many people have unfollowed me since I took the position that the MCAT is not, by itself, a particularly good metric for medical school admission, that Yale has produced generations of excellent physicians, and that having served on two different medical school admissions committees, I learned something many people outside medicine do not understand:
Test-taking ability is not the same thing as being a good clinician.
The MCAT has value. Of course it does. But medicine is filled with qualities that standardized exams measure poorly: judgment, empathy, communication, leadership, resilience, curiosity, humility, and the ability to care for human beings under stress and uncertainty.
What has also become clear in this debate is how inconsistently people apply the language of “discrimination.” When some groups are historically underrepresented, many simply assume that reflects lesser capability. But when institutions consciously try to broaden representation, suddenly every disparity becomes evidence of unfairness.
And yet in public health, the evidence repeatedly shows that greater physician diversity improves trust, preventive care uptake, underserved access, and health outcomes in many communities.
We see similar benefits in medical education itself. Diverse student bodies produce richer discussions, broader perspectives, and stronger learning environments. That was obvious to anyone who has actually spent time inside a medical school rather than arguing about one on social media.
What I do see in many of these replies is not principled concern about merit. I see a fair amount of racism dressed up as statistical objectivity.

@Caripka @petersterne At 9 months, labor is not really a “surprise” event typically. Presumably her water broke at some point.
English

@jchristi111 @petersterne @brontyman Absolutely not. A hospital would’ve been the safest place. She had just spent 30 hours in a hospital and then released. Presumably it did not appear she was that close to giving birth, and that labor came on as a surprise and proceeded quickly.
English

@Caripka @petersterne @brontyman Was a courtroom bench the safest place a baby could be delivered???
English

@petersterne @brontyman Did you read the charges? She was in possession of heroin and cocaine and admitted to USING those drug WHILE 9 months pregnant. Fuck her. The only thing that matters here is the safety of the baby who, if born with drugs in his system, should be removed from her custody.

Yes, actually, we do accommodate them.
We recruit rural physicians for rural communities all the time because people are more likely to trust and stay connected to healthcare systems when clinicians understand their culture, language, geography, and lived experience.
That is why we have rural tracks in medical schools, Native health pathways, Black maternal health initiatives, Spanish-speaking clinics, VA systems, tribal health systems, and community-based recruitment programs.
This is not “woke.” It is how public health works.
The difference is that nobody calls it “identity politics” when medicine bends over backward to accommodate rural White populations because that has long been viewed as normal. The outrage only seems to appear when minority communities ask for the same recognition.
Patients are human beings, not interchangeable widgets in a bureaucratic sorting machine.
Jon Bignault @BignaultJon
@drterrysimpson And many rural whites feel more comfortable with someone who speaks like them. Do we accommodate them? Where does this end? I know where it ends. I know where it starts. Do you? This is woke garbage.

If you can’t understand how an applicant with a 507 MCAT who came from poverty, first to go to college, working while in school, and has no financial help is much more impressive and implies far better work ethic and perseverance than someone with a 512, rich parents, MCAT prep course, and never had a job…you’re a fucking dumbass.
