I do not check my messages that get filtered outβ¦generally I look every so often bc if someone is going to message me, they let me know so I can look for their message
But if you message me, then message me about 15 more times in 2 days, Iβll just block you

People get sooooo bothered when they arenβt the center of attention
Ever think improving the lives of Black people naturally improves things for white people? Disabled people getting accommodations improves it for able-bodied?
Yall are so worried about being a minority it shows
If you want to be an allyβ¦
Talk about anti-Black racism all the time
Talk about ableism all the time
Talk about transphobia all the time
You donβt get to decide you are an allyβ¦you get to PROVE you deserve to be called one

Toilet paper goes in the toilet, and Iβm not going to argue about it with anyone. Having a trash can in the bathroom is unhygienic.

Letβs talk abt the 13-yr old who almost died when another hospital found the valve was put in wrong
All of the HCW who have chosen to defend the surgeon & attempt to shift blame from that to anything else including the valve being defective
Let me ask you thisβ¦

Pts who have been harmed by this system simply see more harm being done & no accountability being had. Instead of transparency, they see another cover up of medical malpractice & harm
I ask HCW to take time to reflect on how it looks when we repeatedly do these things insteadβ¦

of hold each other accountable for any number of choices we could have made that would have improved the outcome. We are human. No one expects perfection but they do expect transparency & accountability

Launch day! Welcome to The Black Grief Project, an artist-led initiative exploring the expansiveness of Black grief through story, memory & community. Founded by me! I'm calling this initiative a tribute to Black aliveness because loss life are an infinite circle.

Itβs the new predatory loan schemeβ¦
Need healthcareβ¦get this loan youβll never be able to pay off
Jun 11
The Trump administration is quietly moving to change the Affordable Care Act to let health insurers offer people loans to pay for their care.
Deep in a document over 1,000 pages long about how the Affordable Care Act market will operate next year, the administration suggests that insurers consider offering loans to cash-strapped customers.
Under this approach, people who develop a costly disease or need unexpected emergency care would turn to their health insurer for loans.
A third of American households already have medical debt, and this approach would mean even more debt that patients owe to their health insurance companies.
The insurers, who already make billions, would stand to make even more.

For those who believe racism is only a US problem, I urge you to read the following book this June
Why Iβm No Longer Talking to White People About Race
By Reni Eddo-Lodge
Itβs all about racism in the UK

And BTW you should read Black authors all the other months of the year too but given June focuses on Black lives & history, you really should be reading them

βYou are too hard on HCWβ
I am a HCW & I expect the same sometimes more of myself to ensure Iβm always learning, growing & doing better for pts then why on earth would I not expect other HCW to do it too?!?!
Iβm always included. I might not be the prob but Iβm part of the prob
I cannot (actually I can but alas) believe there are physicians getting on here to defend the fact a surgeon almost killed a child
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YALL!
Yes, people make mistakes but I need medical professionals to knock it offβ¦accountability for mistakes is necessary!
