The political action committee run by @acog has given more than a million dollars in funding to anti-abortion candidates in the past decade, according to a new research letter. My latest for @medpagetoday 👇🏻.

Since 2022, 76 people have mistakenly been told they failed the pathology board exam. While they are getting refunds + new certificates, many told me that’s not enough to make up for the mental distress, time, and compensation they missed out on.

Want to know what ob/gyns in abortion ban states have been doing differently in the 2 years post-Dobbs? We did a survey @medpagetoday & found some interesting trends -- like 60% have found work-arounds to help patients access the full spectrum of care.

I worked in healthcare here in NYC for years before pivoting careers to health journalism. Weekends like this are a reminder that I made the right decision — and that I’m finally in the room with the people who made me want to take that chance!.

Be careful if you’re drinking margaritas in the sun - lime plus sun can lead to a rash called “margarita burn.” 🍋‍🟩 Fun fact: I was (according to my doc) the first case of this in 2019! 🌞.

Ok I know RFK's brain worm is getting a lot of attention. but have you ever wondered why his voice sounds like that? Hint: it's not the brain worm.

Did anyone in the Bronx feel the earthquake? None of my friends there did even though people farther north in CT and MA did, which doesn’t make sense to me.

Obsessed that we all thought a literal 4.8 earthquake in nyc was construction, noisy neighbors, or the train.
