"How is this scientific?" That’s what I was asked while testifying in court on behalf of a person with #LongCOVID seeking work comp benefits. What followed was an attack on me, and on the legitimacy of infection-associated illness, lived experience, and equity in medicine. /🧵

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

'Some clinicians have an "ingrained belief" that women-particularly those from ethnic minority groups-exaggerate their symptoms, meaning conditions are left undiagnosed...'

From this week’s @bmj.com, we learn that:

“Drs are too often dismissive of women’s symptoms when they present for treatment for reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and heavy menstrual bleeding”

Shoutout to @drrageshri.bsky.social.

Doctors are too often dismissive of women's symptoms when they present for reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and heavy menstrual bleeding, a parliamentary inquiry has found. Some clinicians have an "ingrained belief" that women— particularly those from ethnic minority groups- exaggerate their symptoms, meaning conditions are left undiagnosed, said the inquiry by the Commons Women and Equalities Committee. "Such medical misogyny and racism is unacceptable," the inquiry report said. The MPs, who heard evidence from a range of witnesses, medical organisations, and charities, identified a "clear lack of awareness and understanding of women's reproductive health conditions" among GPs. Committee chair Sarah Owen said, "Women are finding their symptoms dismissed, are waiting years for life changing treatment, and in too many cases are being put through trauma inducing procedures. All the while, their conditions worsen and become more complicated to treat.

1yr ago today I lost my wife of 26yrs. She was 48. I watched her fade away and die over 9wks while dr.s did next to nothing. I have no trust in the healthcare system in NB. It's a sad day, dark day. #grief #widowed #malpractice #biasinhealthcare #justice
