I'm a psychiatrist looking to share and learn about 🧠🧪, traumatic stress, therapies, women's health.

Researching how systems-level problems across healthcare settings hurt doctors and patients.

I like all things science.

Interdisciplinary viewpoints are welcome!

Anyone else have concerns that this is laying the groundwork for tarrifs on medications when pharma either fights or ignores this executive order? Then costing patients the same or more than before?

#PTSD symptomatology can be found in up to a third of parents with a high-risk infant in the #NICU.

Untreated PTSD can have long-term effects for the parent and impact parent-child attachment and development.

Routine PTSD screening for parents during and after NICU stay benefits parent + baby.

Permanent name suppression and keeps registration. So they are saying no need to intervene to protect patient interests because a patient wasn't harmed?! Wow.

The US abruptly deported a doctor.

The resources that went into her medical training are immense.

Patients need these highly skilled services. Like many countries, the US has a physician shortage.

This directly affects patients.

Unbelievable.

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.
