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

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: https://t.co/QHp2vfUXIJ

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.”
