Honest and painful first-person essay from an OB-GYN about the realities of survival for Black women giving birth. "As an expectant mother ... I was positively terrified.'' https://t.co/oE0WaOuu5d via @statnews @TheDrJoy

In my work as an OB-GYN, I regularly hear Black women share how they are ignored and disparaged by medical staff. As an expectant mother, though, I was positively terrified.

Let’s not forget why the @NationalMedAssn exists. Because we were not welcome in the @AmerMedicalAssn. Racist physicians is a legacy.

Maybe now the USPTF can start recommending colon cancer screening in African-Americans at age 45. Our people are dying too soon.
If we’re being honest, this speaks volumes about our healthcare system, even among Black people with access.

Wow.
At #IHIForum national conference and a white female physician approached the podium to talk about Black Women’s OBGYN health. She started with this slide. I appreciate this...IF we couldn’t find a black woman to speak about this. And I know plenty! @KemiDoll @DorothyERoberts
