Attending Physicians working for the private sector affiliates of @NYCHealthSystem (NYC H+H), including @PAGNewYork and @MountSinaiNYC, announced Thursday that they have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a work stoppage.

So proud of my fellow @DoctorsCouncil union members fighting back and voting to authorize a strike when H+H and its subcontractors are offering contracts that are unfair to them and unsafe for patients!
Doctor Jo, MD, MPH, FAAP retweeted
BREAKING: We just provided H+H affiliate employers, PAGNY and Mt. Sinai, with 10 days notice of our intention to commence ULP strikes at 4 strategic hospitals: Queens, Jacobi, North Central Bronx, and South Brooklyn Health. We do not want to strike but chronic understaffing and burnout are putting us and our patients at risk. We deserve better. Our patients deserve better. We are committed to bargaining in good faith and urge our employers to do so too. We are willing to strike for our patients. #NYCDOCSTRIKE

“Physicians serving the city’s most vulnerable populations are not seeking extravagant salaries. Instead, we advocate for fair compensation to address the worsening shortages,” write Dr. Bronson Joseph Raja & Joanne M. Fernández-Booker of @DoctorsCouncil

Dear @AmerAcadPeds @AAPneonatal from NYS. Please read & act on this advocacy alert. Call @GovKathyHochul & tell her why we need Medicaid increases & an 11% increase in Early Intervention funding. NYS budget already overdue, so act now. RT @NYSAAPCH2 @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP @eveamk

Major *oof* this morning and I’d like to unpack this:
“close to 30% of pediatric residency programs did not fill their residency positions, with the total number of graduates applying to pediatrics declining by 6.1% over last year”

The myth of meritocracy is that we are all being taught under the same conditions in the same schools with the same books with the same resources to afford tutors and support when necessary.
Doctor Jo, MD, MPH, FAAP retweeted
This loss has been a harsh reminder that
"checking in on your strong friends" isn't enough.
We need systemic and institutional changes to support our medical trainees who are struggling.
We feel such a fire to continue to fight for change. To fight like Nakita fought...

The hardest work in medicine happens before they even get to the ED. Thank you to all of our #prehospital colleagues and Happy EMS week!

AAP, joined by other leading medical groups, sent a letter today to @POTUS and @Secmayorkas raising concerns about the reinstatement of immigrant family detention. No amount of detention is safe for children. Read the letter: bit.ly/3ZRWDxL

I don’t know what’s going on out there but parents are not hearing the message:
🗣️ 99 is not a fever!
Also, true fevers can last 3-5 days during an illness, longer w/flu. It’s normal for it to go down with medicine but return when the medicine wears off. Pass it on.

Let’s make it more than one day!
We need to recognize this huge disparity and ensure we work towards ensuring appropriate representation

#DYK only 6% of US physicians are Latino/a? In response to this disparity, Latino & Latina physicians, residents, med & premed students across the US started a grassroots initiative to raise awareness regarding the critical shortage of Latino/a physicians. nationallatinophysicianday.c…
