we don’t give our men the time and the space to grieve. a dad lost his daughter in our ward yesterday, and he was expected to figure out transportation for the body, the burial place, signing all documents, and making sure the rest of his family gets home safe.

listen. if you work in healthcare and a patient comes in sick, the first question should NEVER be ‘what took you so long to get help?’ there’s multiple barriers to seeking help. yes, people do not trust doctors in Pakistan (we’ve done nothing to combat the stigma)
