@ayesha_mian1 @WEIconnect @UN_Women @ELAMProgram @AfafMeleis @_saadshafqat @WGHPakistan @DrvanTilburg @arghavan_salles @JulieSilverMD I would go further. A woman who has actually earned a degree is told her actual role in the world is defined by “wife.” A publication with mostly male editors, read mostly by men, in the finance sector publishes a poorly written piece ridiculing her & rewarded with “clicks”

@ayesha_mian1 @WEIconnect @UN_Women @ELAMProgram @AfafMeleis @_saadshafqat @WGHPakistan @DrvanTilburg @arghavan_salles @JulieSilverMD She is told she is unqualified or cannot use her earned credentials by a man who lacks credentials. Then he takes a swipe at Black women. Almost all responses recognize the sexism but do not comment on anti-blackness. Western feminism has often been willing to leave some behind

@ayesha_mian1 @WEIconnect @UN_Women @ELAMProgram @AfafMeleis @_saadshafqat @WGHPakistan @DrvanTilburg @arghavan_salles @JulieSilverMD This is the glass cliff. You can do the work, get the title or c-suite role, and your accomplishments will not only be invisible, but result in anger and derision. What we saw in WSJ represents constant gossip that happens and sabotages the woman leader. hbr.org/amp/2011/01/ho…

Agree. The system has failed frontliners. Healthcare relies on shaming to control, diminish, shut down. Let’s NOT pass that on to others.

Back in spring when not enuf PPE for clinicians, and CDC & Fauci saying not to mask, I saw clinicians shaming public who WERE wearing masks.

@ETSshow

We lose credibility this way. Scientists already are not believed or respected. In fact, are ridiculed by many. Spoke with @ETSshow on how the “snark” culture is a self harming one for communicating in public. #MedTwitter antics reduce credibility.

Much of how scientists act would get you laughed out of a room in business, ignored, lose your seat at the table, not invited back

Blocking, deleting, snarking, shaming

is not how it works among ppl who make high powered deals

Nor does it engage public blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/d…

Normalize reporting that is non-punitive. There may be some reporting that leads to a dismissal but good systems do a fish one or RCA to identify system factors and processes or staffing levels before blaming anyone individual.

Now that the majority of physicians are employed, there is an imbalance of power between administrators eyeing hospital margins and their main revenue producers, docs. With expanded scope of practice then it is “providers” who bill. All are employed/controlled/kept in line.

In the past (there was a LOT wrong in the past albeit) there was a balance of power. Hospitals needed doctors to admit to them, refer to them, do procedures there, see their patients there. Docs needed hospital facilities for inpatient or surgeries. Now, that mostly is erased

🧵, riffing off of this comment

The system teaches people they don’t matter, symbolized by name “does not matter”

To change “doesn’t matter”, change the system & culture in academia & medicine

When people respect individual humanity, people will become comfortable as salves

I hear “shocked” a lot and so this is not to single anyone out as it is common. If shocked, then need to dramatically educate self on #BlackintheIvory that affects Black & brown & immigrant. Also, when common to be called wrong name entirely, many of us finally just adapt/accept.

Personally, at the end of the year meeting w/ my division chief, when I have prepared my packet for academic promotion, if I find myself given the one other South Asian woman’s evaluation in a group of 7 that is my time wasted because you did not vet or verify individual identity

If you are still saying "slavery happened a long time ago" whether you are a bedside provider communicating which are the "good" families to the rounding doc vs not
or a new immigrant...
please, just don't
Read the 13th amendment.
Educate yourself on preschool to prison pipeline.

Please don't tell me you have "read" or "know" U.S. history unless you are going to break down the exception clause in the 13th amendment for me. What is written in laws matter. You can be anti-government in views but does not change role of government in: muse.jhu.edu/book/39502

On the preschool to prison pipeline. Racism affects children in the spaces that should develop their minds and curiosity - instead criminalized and taught self concept of “bad”

Why is my desk chair so complicated to assemble? I am exhausted just taking the parts out of the box.

This is not looking good....

At least my vacuum was easy to assemble. Already used.
