Today is my 32nd birthday and despite being a physician and attorney I have never had a job that provides 12 weeks of paid parental leave. The system is not designed for women to succeed.

To put things into context, if I get COVID my law job would expect me to isolate for ten days and would pay me sick leave. My hospital would expect me back in zero to five days and I would have no pay for missed shifts. Is it clear why health care workers are burned out?

New Trump rule that mandates overtime for employees making <$36k/40hrs. If residents make about $50k/80 hrs should they be included? Lol, no. @acgme exempt from most federal wage laws. #medtwitter

Where are we with covid-19? My med school classmate just posted this picture of ICU tents in Central Park. Can you imagine if someone told us six months ago that we’d have intubated patients in the middle of Central Park?? Stay home! 🤯🤯

Reflected today on the fact that my high school sex ed class was taught by my PE instructor (track and field coach) and in retrospect, wtf? Were there truly no more qualified people?

MedTwitter has been quick to note that medical students are vulnerable. They are eager, but also unpaid, and lack employment protections. Third year medical students are particularly eager with match on the rise, promise of improved MPSE cannot be overstated.

Today reported @EinsteinMed school will allow students to see patients again. We have now OBTAINED AN EMAIL which appears to ask students to "volunteer." Their service would be noted in their transcripts. This *clearly coerces those who wish not to 👇

When you make your pregnancy announcement via NPR interview because you’re so sick of everything. My husband and I can work ED shifts while COVID+, go to the gym unmasked, dine indoors, but we’re in a state of emergency and he can’t accompany me to outpatient OB visits. 🤯

i talked to a local ER doc about what it's like being a healthcare worker right now: “I think the sense that we are all left with is just that we are all kind of a commodity…we very much are just pawns in the system."

Did you know that @AmerAcadPeds recommends the federal Dept of Labor adopt std of 12 weeks paid leave for new parents but only recommends 6-8 weeks of paid leave for new parents in GME training? This notion that resident are 2nd class members of the work force knows no bounds.

ED docs—does the idea of discharging a bleeding patient with a non-viable partial molar pregnancy to the parking lot (where EMTALA continues to apply) with instructions to check back in when she’s hemorrhaging because of a state abortion ban absolutely blow your mind? It should.

In every state banning abortion, people with dangerous pregnancy complications are being turned away from hospitals and denied emergency abortion care. People will die if nothing is done. That's why we're taking action in Idaho, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

Reminder that breast feeding is not accessible to everyone. Because of past medical issues there is a good chance I can’t breast feed. This never worried me. Until now, five weeks before my due date, amidst a national formula shortage 🤯🤯.

Thought it was very romantic of DC medical licensing board to send my husband and I our papers in one jointly addressed envelope, sort of like a fun wedding invite. Then I opened it and saw the $1700 invoice. Suddenly much less romantic. Worst date night ever.

This is absolutely the opposite of everything we have been taught. There is no emergency in a pandemic. You do not rush in without PPE. Your other patients can not afford you to take that risk. @RamiAhmedDO

Hey @UCSFMedicine , is this what you tell your residents- to go into rooms without PPE and risk their own lives or else be placed on temporary leave of absence ? UNACCEPTABLE AND UNETHICAL. @acgme @AmerMedicalAssn #medtwitter #GetMePPE
