For “not sure who needs to hear this” trend
here is mine:
As a #SciComm doctor if:
-several nurses flag something
-POC/WOC bring up overt or implicit bias
and/or
-patients are concerned
Pause, listen, & self examine
Course correct
right thing to do

protects you

I listen *very* carefully to nurses
I went to a residency where I singlehandedly admitted 22 patients + crosscover as an intern, no night float. It was excellent nurses who were protecting patients & families, the institution, & me

To be anti-racist must “see” color
If have less melanin &
there is a lot more melanin in the side asking you to pause, consider, self examine
listen
If find yourself blocking POC of #MedTwitter, are you simply creating a new Jim Crow?
=bias in action

Becuse this is from 2016.
If you have ever said “I don’t see color”, you are in denial.
Denial perpetuates bias.
Bias results in disparities.
Disparities = low quality.
Low quality is unsafe.
Unsafe “care” kills.
Opposite of “first do no harm”

Early career I had been the “white adjacent” & “model minority”
in denial myself
of my own actual experiences that I only began to recognize after learning about disparities & racism
The lower your melanin, the greater the gap in your experience of race

To be clear that in NO way suggests other -isms do not exist. They do.
That said, only one race in the U.S. was forcibly transported continents and enslaved then experienced Jim Crow.
White passing, white adjacent, and/or model minority matters

Listen to families
Listen to moms like @bostonheartmom
You have NO idea of their reality
Frankly, no, not “empathy” but have “rational compassion” - meaning remove own ego & judgment to create space for other to expand & share
then serve w/ humility

This is one of many critical perspectives on #disability physicians rarely hear.
The medical profession has long history of objectifying our patients.
#Narrativemedicine has benefits but how often do we think *we* own somebody else’s story?

While #pediatrics has made some advances on partnering with patients & families as part of a multidisciplinary care team for the medical home #PCMH
still huge gaps in #MedEd
Example of @AmerAcadPeds curriculum (an evaluation of one module)
