Some people can’t see racism in health care. A Cree teen male went to the ER bc he was unwell. He sat, became delirious & security was called as they felt he was intoxicated. No vital signs were taken. He died 4ish hours later due to septicemia. I reported this. Nothing happened.

Next time you hear a land acknowledgement, please remember that acknowledging the land where one is standing does not make up for the history that it was taken from Indigenous people.

“ Step 1 score ... an indication
of whether a student had highly
educated parents, attended well resourced schools, had exposure
to years of test preparation ... and
access to .... role models ...” Thx, @NEJM for letting me, @QuentinYoumans @UREssien get something off our chest.

The Navajo Nation has more confirmed cases per capita of COVID-19 than 48 US states! Navajo has depleted all of her limited resources to battle. Funding to fight is now grassroots fundraising - help if you can: Navajo & Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund gofundme.com/f/NHFC19Relief?…

What little Americans know about the Trail of Tears and Indian Removal, they tend to conflate with one Native American nation—the Cherokees. So many nations were removed and Andrew Jackson had absolutely nothing to do with most. Each nation had their own unique tragic experience

Dear @nytimes , "Person with opioid addiction" may be 3 more words than "addict" but you'll save countless lives. Consider this: with stigmatizing language, ppl feel more discrimination & less likely to seek care + MDs spend less clinic time = SUBPAR Care. Rise to the occasion.
Wow. The @nytimes is undermining the work of its own terrific writers by apparently insisting on the use of stigmatizing language about addiction.
Please RT if you agree that the newspaper should stop.
