“Dr. Gray Ballinger, a primary care doctor at Queens Hospital Center, said the idea of striking gained momentum among her colleagues in recent weeks after the hospital implemented a new policy that cut the time allotted for new patient visits in half.”

HCW in public hospitals are struggling. Many are working overtime to ensure patients are receiving adequate care. We need more physicians!

City Hall can intervene here and prevent what would be the biggest strike of doctors in the city's history. @DoctorsCouncil

Doctors threaten to strike at 4 New York City hospitals over staffing shortage, conduct, union says abc7ny.com/post/nyc-physicia…
Progressive Doctors retweeted
Although the doctors’ salaries are funded by the city, they are directly employed by private affiliates of NYC Health and Hospitals.
That means they are not subject to the city’s Taylor Law, which prohibits public employees from going on strike: bit.ly/423gAWn

BIG NEWS: Nearly 1,000 NYC doctors (across 4 major hospitals) united in Doctors Council-SEIU will go ON STRIKE in 10 days if employers don't meet them at the table. Chronic understaffing and burnout are putting Docs and their patients at risk. ENOUGH.
FAIR CONTRACT NOW!
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

After 1 year of bargaining with Providence execs and NO meaningful progress, today we announced we are striking on January 10th.
At my hospital this includes the IM, Med-Peds, Palliative care, & OB hospitalists, and the Prov-employed OBGYNs, midwives, and ALL the nurses. /1

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!

I will also use this opportunity to express that I am horrified at the silence of international and U.S. medical organizations on Gaza. This is completely unacceptable and I will never forget, nor forgive.
Progressive Doctors retweeted
I will no longer be intimidated by my fellow physicians who have tried to silence me by trying to intimidate me and threaten my livelihood. I will find a way to pay my bills, care for my children, and continue the health equity work that is in alignment with my values.

I’m willing to stand in my truth and in alignment with my moral compass. My mother, the late Dr. Dale Blackstock, would be horrified if she were still alive and like me call for not only a ceasefire but an arms embargo NOW.

My sister’s post today has given me courage to speak up.
Ta-Nehisi Coates has given me courage.
The Palestinian people have given more courage.
The gruesome images I have born witness to every day have forever changed me.
Progressive Doctors retweeted
I’ve been scared to speak up more about Gaza. I feel unburdened to share I’ve been targeted & disparaged, as a Black woman physician, by nefarious forces within medicine, because of my pro-humanity stance, but NO MORE. I CANNOT be more scared than Palestinians in this moment.

65 doctors, nurses, and paramedics told the New York Times what they saw in Gaza. What they saw was a pattern of children being shot in the head.

Doctors still use pagers. Four healthcare workers were killed in these terrorist attacks in Lebanon by Israel.
The Lebanon explosions raise a question: Deep into the smartphone era, who is still using pagers? theglobeandmail.com/world/ar…
Many OBGYNs aren’t for fear of legal consequences or employer consequences caused by the legal terrain, so really you seem to be the “lying piece of shit.”
Progressive Doctors retweeted
“why do so many ‘health workers’ have Hezbollah Pagers?” because Hezbollah Pager isn’t a real thing. because that’s what happens supply chains are contaminated. just because the propaganda needs you to be very stupid to believe it doesn’t mean you’re obliged to become that stupid
