@soledadobrien I am a board certified OB/Gyn. For the record, childhood pregnancies are dangerous! In addition to the psychological trauma, she is at high risk for preterm labor, preterm delivery, and preeclampsia. Make no mistake. This would be a very high risk pregnancy,.

@MarchandSurgery Interesting. How much obstetrics do you practice in Texas? Your lack of knowledge shows.

Good morning! People of TX - Don’t be fooled. TX has a low number of cases of COVID19 because we are not testing. Multiple instances of people who absolutely need testing but it is being blocked for various reasons! This is a travesty #coronavirus #COVID19 #TexasCoronavirus.

@sooperjordan @abbeysuekos Correction:Pharmacists are not doctors unless they complete the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. And then they are still not medical doctors. They understand the drugs but are less educated on the medical conditions being treated. They are highly valued members of the healthcare team!.

@SarahforHD134 @acog Thanks again to Sarah Davis for being a voice of reason in women’s healthcare. This is why she should stay in office!.

A voice of reason.
We have too many administrators in healthcare. 10 for every 1 physician. I think we could better use that money to hire more essential staff, provide adequate PPE, and possibly even fund more residency positions across the US. The time is NOW for big changes in medicine.

Trump accuses physicians of falsifying medical records in a pandemic for financial gain? The man who manipulates everything/everyone everyone and paid $750.00 in income tax? To anyone who supports Trump, when can you no longer hold your nose to vote for him?#physician #doctor.

@HoustonTexans @verizon @NFLonCBS Why would we go for it on 4th and 3 from our own side but not go for it on 4th and I at the Chiefs 20? Who made that ridiculous decision????.

@TKTX2022 @DRC_White Not really. The law has changed several times since 2021. Even the attorneys have had a hard time keeping up and interpreting. Then the threats of prosecution from the attorney general certainly don’t help.

@mindicator636 @surelyscarlett @conservmillen Yet the Texas Supreme Court wanted the Texas State Medical Board to help clarify thereby agreeing with how unclear these laws actually are.

Incredible appreciation for Dr. Fauci. His job is 1000x harder due to the poor performance of our President.
Thank you, Dr. Fauci, for centering the focus on looking at data, evidence-based research, public health, and for calming the nation. Thank you for your service.

ACOG works for our patients and for us!!.
You took #obgynaction, sending 550+ letters to Congress about surprise billing legislation, and Congress listened! @ACOG encourages Congress to continue working to find a solution that protects both patients & ob-gyns, who don’t contribute to surprise bills.

Thanks to Dan Patrick for volunteering to be the first person in Texas NOT to get a ventilator if needed. How about leading by example!#DanPatrick #LtGovDanPatrick #coronavirus #txlege #TexasCoronavirus.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of Texas said he and other grandparents might be willing to die to keep the economy going. Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York has a different perspective: “If it’s public health versus the economy, the only choice is public health.”.

@surelyscarlett @conservmillen You could not be more wrong. The law is vague and poorly written with very specific, detailed penalties. Just ask attorneys. The laws have also changed several times since 2021.

Thank you to @PeterHotez for continuing to give us clear, evidence based, reliable information and hope during this uncertain time. You are a gentleman and a scholar!.
Many thanks @MSNBC. I spoke about a national urgency to address mental health in America. Widespread social distancing could promote sharp increases in depression/anxiety disorders. I suggested free/low cost national programs of access to mental health counselors via phone/skype
