Most doctors, most of the time, draw on their years (decades, in my case) of medical training & expertise to do the best we can for you.
What distinguishes us from snake oil salesmen - persuasive grifters who prey on human fears to line their pockets - is our expertise & our integrity.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

Rossiter coined the term "Matilda effect" for when women's scientific work is attributed to men.
It was a twist on the "Matthew effect," famously attributed to Robert Merton, but actually studied jointly by Merton and his wife Harriet Zuckerman, who was denied co-authorship

There's research to suggest that just ONE consistently safe adult makes a huge difference to a kid's outcome. It doesn't have to be a parent or relative. It can be a teacher, a neighbour, someone else's parent, anyone. What matters is safety and consistency and here it is. Good on ya, bodega man. 🥹
