Justin Pearson: “You cannot ignore the racial dynamic of what happened today - two young Black lawmakers get expelled and the one White woman does not!”

So please tell me more about how medicine has changed when a president of a whole surgical society chose this as his hill to die on… let me go find some bootstraps to pick up

Surgery needs a wake up call.
I hope @STS_CTsurgery addresses the above take by their incoming president at the #STS and takes a hard look at why they remain one of the least diverse subspecialty in surgery.

And what does that mean for our patients?
It means that nothing changes in addressing the healthcare disparities they face in the treatment of surgical diseases.
~2/3 of surgeons aren’t even aware of/don’t acknowledge existence of health disparities

Performative DEI is not enough in surgery.
Remember this from the, where Black trainees are disproportionately dismissed from surgery residencies?
There’s a a reason for that. The culture of surgery doesn’t believe in inclusion.
It practices active exclusion. #STS

They say worse things in private.
Surgeons love to uphold the myth of meritocracy and make it difficult for those historically excluded from surgery to succeed despite their hard work.
For a president of a major society to present this is not the least bit surprising.

Harm reduction is imperative for recovery, not opposed to it. People that see themselves and worthy of nothing more than disgust are not apt to struggle and suffer. And trust me, breaking up with your only coping mechanism is little more than struggle and suffering./end

White men in the U.S. are socialized to believe that if something is wrong with a persons body, that person simply has a moral or cognitive defect.
Most people in the U.S. can’t really accept how vulnerable their bodies are and they could easily become disabled tomorrow.

White supremacy has had a chokehold on this country for centuries. It is both overt and covert. It is inherently sexist and patriarchal, so white women, it will not ultimately save you either. It will be the end of this country.

I am mentally ill and yet I have never had the desire to target an entire group of people and massacre them.
Racism is not a mental illness. It is a choice of hatred and violence.
Do not further demonize and stigmatize mental health in order to avoid the dealing with racists.

For Jews who can become pregnant, access to abortion services is a religious *requirement*, and has been for thousands of years. Surprised? Let's dig into some of the texts 🧵 1/

The current clown show of MID FLIGHT unmasking is bonkers. Future generations will think this scene in the HBO mini series is fictional and was added in for dramatic effect. And we’ll have to sheepishly explain how we were actually that dysfunctional as a society.

The entire healthcare system is strategically designed to overburden nurses and eventually punish them for being overburdened.

Honestly, I’ve worked while tired enough that there is no medical error that’s unthinkable to me. I’m pretty sure I once tried to tell a nurse that 2+2=5
