It’s a take your dog to the

Wish us luck!

Women are not less credible because we look a certain way, dress a certain way. Let's shift to talking about systems & biases, not how women can fit an aged, restrictive narrative. PS: gender-neutral challenge to embrace your inner Barbie today in solidarity with

🔸Pt stories can provide false hope through anecdotes
🔸People want to hear "good" stories about survivors
🔸Patients who have died do not have a voice
After spending half my day on the 📞 trying to get Rxs approved for cancer pain, pts are still w/o meds & I am 😤
