Lower breastfeeding rates among Black women reflect historic and systemic #inequities. This #breastfeeding peer-support network is working to close the gap: https://t.co/rpkdiEcz81 @NICHQ #BreastfeedingAwarenessMonth

🚨If you’re a resident, fellow, or new attending physician w/ federal student loans🚨 Most of you will get a $1,000-5,000 bill in the mail when payments begin in September if you don’t make a plan. This will be financially catastrophic for many. Here’s TL;DR ⬇️ #MedTwitter

I woke up yesterday morning, looked out my window and saw the neighbors had hung this flag on their children’s playground. Pull up a seat, and join me, friends, for The Chronicles of Being Black in a Rich, White suburb A thread 💀

Iron deficiency is an under recognized problem w/adverse impacts on morbidity & mortality. Using ⁦@CDCgov⁩ data, we found ~40% of 12-21yo females to be iron deficient(!) & this was assoc w/non White race, Hispanic ethnicity, poverty & menstruation.

#accreta identified, here, as a condition for which gyn oncs increasingly, maybe unwillingly, involved. Who is responsible for safe PAS surgery? No *one subspecialty is perfectly suited or fully willing to take it on. Who will train the next generation of PAS surgeons? How?

Congrats to the team out of #southkorea for completing a huge #COVID19 💉 #myocarditis study on their entire population to better characterize immunization myocarditis for all of us. Let's talk about what the paper really showed, instead of what the pundits think it showed.

Reminder that BID and TID oral iron regimens are not necessary, & result in reduced iron bioavailability. Plus the side effects are worse! Daily or every-other-day dosing has improved absorption and is better tolerated. @obgmanagement #irondeficiency 🩸

Kalief Browder should be trending tonight as we watch how kindly the justice system treats Trump- no mugshot, no cuffs, returns to court in 8 months. Unlike this young man who was brutalized in Rikers for years over an alleged stolen backpack. #TwoAmericas
