A pity about the headline and the error reporting the birth trauma rate, but capturing front page of the SMH today is this article. It seems hard to comprehend that nearly half of the women who have a baby in a private hospital in NSW now have a caesarean amp.smh.com.au/national/nsw/…

Non POC mentors..
When giving advice to your POC trainees… ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND..
We cannot navigate in the world the same way you do…
That’s not a negative towards you.. it’s a fact.. and should always be kept in mind when mentoring us.

Racism denial 101
1. Temporal deflection: black ppl experience less racism today than in the past
2. Spatial deflection: racism is much worse in other countries
3. Deflection from norm: racism is just a sml problem with some ppl
4. Absence discourse: outright denial that racism exists. Australia excels at this one

If you don’t care to read this whole thread please do care to:
1) learn the heart attack symptoms in women (they aren’t like men)
2) make sure your people know how to find each other if something happens to you
3) tell your friends you love them
