I was part of a great research study in residency that did BP checks at pedi visits because while only ~60% of women go to their 6 wk postpartum visit, almost all go to the babyās. We identified many women with postpartum HTN and pre-eclampsia so the answer should be yes!
If you see a newborn in the ER, do you check the momās blood pressure too? There are projects where BP screenings will hit the street - barber shops, etc. Why not in the 6 week postpartum period? Been thinking about that lately

I need to find a weekly gym class or group exercise to incorporate on the days I donāt feel like working out on my own. Iām usually motivated but some days a class would definitely help.

Donāt lie to docs to get yearly CT scans & unnecessary radiation that also increase cancer risk. DO go to your yearly checkup, DO utilize the actual screenings we have for breast, colon, cervical, & lung cancers. DO advocate for yourself but be careful who you listen to on hereš«¶š¾

I really canāt stand RBG and her stubbornness. Such a selfish act and she is not even here to live through the repercussions.
The Supreme Court's conservative justices appeared likely to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a decision that would have massive consequences for the future of Black political representation in the South https://t.co/xBpYSgfmoq

There are no regular screenings for pancreatic cancer at the moment, but everyone should be seeing a doctor at least once a year to make sure their bloodwork is in normal ranges.
Pancreatic cancer is taking away too many of our Black icons in such a short time frame. Everyone please get regular screenings this shit is not a game!

Donāt forget your mammograms & self breast exams! Black womenā we are diagnosed YOUNGER, with more ADVANCED stage disease, affected by more AGGRESSIVE types (triple neg) & die sooner and more often than our white counterparts. Advocate for yourself & donāt skip checkups!

It should be illegal that you can simply touch a tweet on this app and it takes you to another browser. Sick of it!!

I feel safer in Chicago now than I did in Austin, TX. I had some of my most racist experiences in Austin. I hate that place and you couldnāt pay me to go back.
