Also, at midcareer female success is threatening to men our age AND to younger men who rely on patriarchal patronage systems. Women, overpoliced by the system, then, yes, are tougher bosses AND we *do* tend to adhere more closely to ethics.

On #MedTwitter there is a pattern of âcalloutsâ, yes vs all genders & ages, but also pattern of misogyny and misogynoir. It happens towards nurses & doctors alike. One of the reasons I connected with @ShrimpBrokkoli is because I saw a yt male resident ridiculing her online.
I saw that behavior being taught by NON-clinical faculty & that REALLY crossed a line.
If you are a woman + nurse + frontline + Black/WOC, you already live with so much violence towards you. Added online made up drama from a trainee vs nurse?
No, no, & no.

This is what targeted racial harassment looks like: nitpicking things like âsmiledâ or âwore clothes like a celebrity, as a celebrityâ or âbought cookware.â It is part of the âgold diggerâ narrative.
This is common in #healthcare â#professionalismâ where there is hazing & bullying by racist &/or classist made up non-rules lacking standardsâŚyet people are called âbreaking the rules.â
Itâs exactly how bullies operate: double standards, mislabel/smear, exclude, marginalize.

In the U.K., âBAMEâ includes the formerly colonized, thus making race constructs or power different from U.S. as latter had race-based chattel slavery.
Thing is, those formerly colonized have many who have internalized self hate & racism.

The idea that women are automatically âsafeâ is exactly what creates this âopportunityâ for some women to exploit children & monetize their âopticsâ of âtrustworthyâ on behalf of predators.
Gender does not predict ethics, integrity, safety.

In light of the Boston police Union leader child abuse, this is very plausible, even probable. I have 2x, on behalf of someone else, reported, via Title IX - the woman or gay man was not feeling safe enuf to report. Yes, there is blowback when one reports. But we canât be silent.
I am a mandated reporter as a #pediatrician. I *must* report for my patients or face legal consequences. Am same for staff, students, trainees. But in #EmergencyMedicine who do I call if a child may be unsafe at home? Sometimes, cops. Are cops safe?

Conflicts of interest, especially unreported, are a massive source of ethical failure. First, clinicians should inherently know torture is unethical as well as âunprofessionalâ

#SciComm currently lacks Black or marginalized group (including BIPOC, disabled, etc) leadership within it which explains why so called leaders within it cannot recognize effective public health messaging that works in communities of color, marginalized groups.

Attacks range from on practicing clinicians by lay people to attacks on trainees by faculty. #Medbikini was faculty teaching trainees & med students how to stalk their peers, especially young women in the profession. Attacks can come from inside, often as âprofessionalismâ
âOne of our really big concerns is that physicians and scientists who are women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals and underrepresented minorities are the ones who are more likely to be attacked on social mediaâ
Keep in mind attacks can be external or by faculty vs âlowerâ

Attacks from within profession are under the label of âprofessionalismâ to mask it being stalking of trainees.
Look at the #Medbikini âprofessionalism studyâ and compare to what we know of professionalism being inherently racist.
Even if cyberstalkers had been women, not ok.

Dear #MedTwitter please, please, if you are a licensed medical professional and/or in school to be, do NOT delete your tweets or comply with anyone telling you to do so. It will harm you far more than leaving them up and explaining. Nothing is ever deleted. Can be used in court.
When I was at Harvard Med School and at an esteemed children's hospital, a case against an esteemed professor, that NO lawyer would touch cuz this was someone who had WRITTEN the textbooks and trained every expert, was won ..based on "a document was deleted" - creating suspicion
"Sunlight is the best disinfectant" you will hear me say OVER and OVER - wins & losses *should* be on data/standards but unfortunately wins & losses are in the court of public opinion. So be reliable, credible, and trustworthy. Transparency is one way to achieve that reputation.
@BaeBielle Excellent questions!
These are the questions all of us should always be asking.

Personally, as someone Muslim, what I was taught about my purpose on this earth is the every single thing I âhaveâ is only loaned to me and nothing I am entitled to.
You have to pay interest on loans.
More you have, more you must give (back).
Of course I face barriers too.

What I was taught, back when we had paper charts, was to put a single line though, initial, and date. Then correct. When compliance types come through they will have MORE confidence in you, in fact. You had the good sense to self assess BEFORE they got there and adjust/improve.

Accountability is when someone takes money for a job and fails to use standards or violates standards. Referencing standards when seeking accountability, in a transparent way, is fair game and necessary. Teaching at esteemed institutions = an obligation to deliver quality.
For medical professionals, especially doctors, payment of the critical part on liability.
Good Samaritan protection relies on no payment, often.
Doctors can be served papers up to 25 years later if it was an infant.
That is level of accountability of clinicians

I know that there is the anti-leader leader concept (not using titles, wearing hoodies and such) particularly in the tech & entrepreneurship world. At the same time, those are spaces that are not necessarily as woman or BIPOC friendly historically so the "casual" can be a trap
implicit, or frankly, explicit biases have not gone away. Except professionalism is also a trap - it is well documented in peer-reviewed publications and I've repeatedly notice with how multiple "professionalism" faculty fail to examine embedded biases & cultural chauvinism
In tightly controlled spaces there is a so-called right/wrong way to have one's hair, with "wrong" including natural hair if one is "ethnic", women must wear skirts and pantyhose automatically adding distracting details (do I have a run in my stocking? am I sitting okay?) &such

Woah..that was freaky but familiar. Was lying down & decided to get up to take pain meds for #endometriosis and #fibroids and it felt as painful to get up as the day after surgery. In kitchen, sweating, lightheaded. Quickly squatted to avoid passing out holding onto fridge door
..which swung open..but I did not fall. Then once head feeling better, stood up long enough to take meds...then walked, wobbly and lightheaded to chair. I can't quite feel my palms but that will come back. This probably gets to be called 10/10 pain..but maybe really an 8/10
Great..and a migraine too..scotoma.. taking a migraine med and lying down. Man, when it rains it pours.
