While other states are stripping away people’s rights, we’re taking action to defend fundamental freedoms.  If you live in a state restricting your freedom to authentically live your life and make decisions for your own body, I have three words for you: come to Michigan!

In 2011, the ACGME limited consecutive work hours to 16 at a time. There was a 63% reduced risk in reported medical errors resulting in patient death. The ACGME has since reversed this rule.
The study found a dramatic reduction in medical errors resulting in harm or leading to patient death when first-year resident-physician work hours were limited hvrd.me/eqkv30sjH9O

Mask MANDATES are the only thing that will get the majority of the population masking again. We are not a “do the right thing of your own accord” type of society.

Pediatricians everywhere should be concerned about the #ICWA. Why? Native child health is tied to culture, kinship & language - all can suffer when Native kids are systemically removed from community w/o Tribal input. Ex) Indigenous youth suicide rates⬆️with language loss.
In a case that could affect thousands of Native American children, the Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments Wednesday in the case of a four-year-old girl, whose birth mother is Navajo but who is living with a white family who wants to adopt her. nyti.ms/3WKaB3B

3. The letter requirement negatively impacs the patient-provider relationship, and so is actually harmful. People end up self-censoring, or perform a version of transness their provider expect. The process erodes trust in care professionals, and worsens mental health!

Take home: letters from mental health professionals do not make gender affirming hormones safer or improve mental health! and they have negative consequences.

When people ask me what I mean about wanting mutual aid a lot more than I want more self-care, this is (part of) what I mean:
