Reporting on years of data from Dr Thomas Raassen and Dr Marietta Mahendeka, we see that increases in iatrogenic fistula outpace the rise of cesarean section as mode of birth, although it's not the same everywhere. #EndFistula @SpringerNature pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3579…

By the way, 131 new billionaires were created during an economically-catastrophic pandemic. Does anyone else see a problem with this picture?

I want to congratulate the pharmaceutical industry. While 1 out of 4 Americans can't afford to fill their prescriptions, and over 25% of diabetics ration insulin, the industry made over $50 billion in profits last year and the top 10 CEOs made $500 million. Greed. Greed. Greed.

"The women of Afghanistan are a source of pride for the country. And we had to fight for whatever we have today. When you gain something, you don’t give it up."
Naheed had to flee from her home in Herat as the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021. unwo.men/i1sY50GvGR2

Agree @DVervoort94, financing for global surgery needs to change - nice work 👏🏻
NCDs are responsible for three-quarters of deaths each year, yet receive <2% of global health funding.
Surgical healthcare receives ~1% of GH funding each year, requiring countries to step up.

Corporate America wants to frame what’s going on as a “labor shortage.” Wrong. It's a child care shortage, a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, and a health care shortage. Unless these shortages are rectified, the strikes we're seeing will continue.

In 1890, the filibuster was used to block legislation to protect the right of Black Americans to vote.
Fast forward 131 years, and the filibuster is once again being used to block legislation to protect the right to vote of communities of color.
Abolish the Jim Crow filibuster.

Just a casual reminder that in 1861, 11 Senators and 3 Representatives were expelled from Congress for failing to recognize Lincoln’s election and supporting insurrection.

Look, I’m a bit old-fashioned. I happen to believe we should do what the people are demanding, and what the people are demanding is that we finally take on the ruling class of this country.

My 3 cents for #Match2022:
1. IMGs are needed & enrich.
2. #IMG does not sum up or define an applicant. They have different shades & stories. Ask about #distancetravelled
3. Prejudice & discrimination hurt. The blanket statement "our program does not take IMGs" will not age well.

When your job is to heal, it's hard when something goes wrong and causes harm. A compassionate response promotes healing for all. The PACT Collaborative helps health systems develop Communication & Resolution Programs to respond with accountability & compassion when harm occurs.
