Let's keep talking about it
Want to see what we get paid for a laparoscopic myomectomy?
Remember - this is systemic discrimination against women's health.

Disappointed
I have done a 5-hour laparoscopic myomectomy (#fibroid removal), for which I can bill OHIP $383.90? This works out to $76.78/h.

The worst thing about being a Gyn surgeon is working really hard, caring for your patients, validating their experiences and then being told by hospital admin that you’re a money loser. @jfitzgeraldMD @MigsRunner @ankitaguptamd @louise_p_king @OlgaTheOBGYN

PREACH.
Our patients absorb $35 BILLION/year in costs due to fibroids.
We literally have no novel treatments. Take them out or shrink them. Where’s the targeted gene therapy? Where are the selective hormone receptor blockers? Give us something!
@NIH @AAGL @GynSurgery
🤔 Wonder why? ♀️ "Fibroids received just $17M in (US) research funding from Nat'l Institutes of Health, putting it in the bottom 50 of almost 300 funded conditions, even though the direct & indirect medical costs related to fibroids estimated $35B /yr."

Such an interesting thread. The mental calculus if you try to "prove" value for MIGS to leadership is really painful. Day surgery for hysterectomy with ERAS is a great example. Increasing our skill sets through fellowship allows us to offer women same day LSC surgery ...

Amazing session on radiofrequency ablation! Did you know Black women are 50% less likely to be offered uterine-sparing treatments for fibroids? Despite ~80% of pts wanting to avoid invasive surgery. Another disparity we HAVE to fix! Thanks @JShepherd_MD @KimberlyKho1 @DukeSurgyn

#aagl21 Fantastic posters by my alma matter team at Virginia Mason on burnout in #MIGS. Again and again, we show that #burnout has nothing to do with individual wellness behaviors but rather systems. Pls stop with meditation, mindfulness, and wellness modules and face reality

Individual wellness behaviors were not associated with burnout, while the culture of the work environment was associated with burnout, highlighting the need to look beyond individual behavior in the fight against physician burnout.

Women surgeons are more likely to face pregnancy complications and loss, according to a new study. “There’s a culture of not asking for help, but this tells us there’s a health risk in it," said Erika Rangel, one of the paper's authors. nyti.ms/3rCSSfv

Called a patient today to tell them their colonoscopy biopsies showed cancer. Patient already knew—got an automated alert earlier in the day and read the results on the online medical record. At home, alone.
This new law granting access to test results is a BIG problem.

Thinking a lot about #mentorship in medicine. How do we overcome implicit bias and systemic racism when so many describe the “organic” evolution of their mentor relationship as key to their success?
