We lost another doctor today
To COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her...
She called the patient advocate...
She called the chief medical officer...

She was in pain and ignored
Fellow docs got her into another hospital...
It was too late..
She passed away today
The system failed her.
It failed us...
Anyone want to guess the race of this doctor?

I'm pissed cause she didnt have to die like that
Her pain was dismissed
She was discharged WITHOUT being stable and was readmitted to another hospital because she was too scared to go back to the first hospital...

2/ Black Female MD:
“Me being present everyday is me advocating. Just being in this space is me speaking up.”
“Some identities that we have are out in the open. Others are hidden, such as certain disabilities. These can be sources of bias. This is important to remember.”

3/ Latinx Female Med Student:
“Don’t ever call the medical student ‘the medical student’”
“There are times when the #HierarchyInMedicine makes sense…graduated responsibility to keep patients safe. That doesn’t mean it has to translate into all aspects of training.”
