I haven't talked about this much here, but on this #LaborDay2024 I want to tell you why I am a unionized physician and what we're experiencing negotiating our first contract (spoiler: there's a reason we unionized...) /1 I'm a member of the Pacific Northwest Hospital Medicine Association, represented by @AFTHealthcare and staffed by @OregonNurses. PNWHMA is the 1st hospitalist-specific labor union in the U.S.

Doctor unions are growing because administrators are prioritizing profits>>patients. /2

I attended the virtual Contraceptive Technology conference yesterday - here are some things I learned or thought were interesting & wanted to share...

Just before ovulation, uterine contractions REVERSE to help draw sperm UP from the cervix into the uterine cavity. So cool. /1 Menstruation is very rare in nature – only 1.6% of placenta-forming species do. There is no evolutionary benefit to menstruating. (That percentage blew my mind). /2

This is what happened at the @acog meeting last week.

What bothers me most? The women overheard saying, “This isn’t the place or the time” to a man who is calling out a physician who sexually assaulted his wife.

I’m sorry, when IS the right time? I’d say I don’t condone this man hitting the physician who assaulted his wife but I’d be lying because I wish I’d done that to the OBGYN who commented on my breasts when I was a trainee. His name was Dr. Tom Gregory. He still works there.

1/ As an OBGYN, it's important to address misconceptions. Let's clear this up: Birth control DOES NOT cause abortion. Birth control methods like pills, patches, and IUDs work by preventing ovulation and/or fertilization. #ClearingTheAir #BirthControlFacts 2/ Understanding the science behind birth control is crucial. Why? Because groups like @StudentsforLife spread lies that BC causes abortions - and trust me, the right is coming for #birthcontrol next. #ScienceMatters #BirthControlFacts
