Today is my 32nd birthday and despite being a physician and attorney I have never had a job that provides 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
The system is not designed for women to succeed.

A law to protect women from abortion pills endangers them instead, @GreerDonley and @KimiChernoby write. wapo.st/3BYfgsT
When an article uses pictures of the @GWEMresidency residents you brought to a SCOTUS rally AND cites an article you wrote with @AcuntoBrian and your OG EMTALA co-author @GreerDonley it’s EMTALA full circle
Many lawsuits in the United States are asking whether emergency medical providers must offer abortions. Read analysis on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in this week’s Saturday Seminar. buff.ly/4dbCfgR
When you and your pregnant belly make it to politico 💫💫
Doctors torn between conflicting state & federal laws when it comes to abortions in medical emergencies say fear of state prosecution outweighs fear of federal enforcement, and that an upcoming SCOTUS ruling could make things worse. politico.com/news/2024/06/06… w/ @meganmesserly

A list of allstar companies who have failed at their healthcare attempts: Berkshire, JP Morgan, Apple, Google, Amazon (trying again), & now Walmart

This story is wild.
(And unfortunately, something I expect we’ll see more of in the future.)
Really incredible article about an insurance company disciplining a doctor for following the standard of care.

Looks like their “experts” are just as bad as some of the most crooked plaintiff experts I see.
Today is my 35th birthday and soon I will take unpaid parental leave for the second time. But I will never stop fighting for a world in which my kids have access to comprehensive parental leave. 💫💫

35million priorauths submitted to @MedicareGov #MedicareAdvantage in a year - assuming 5 min/each and $20/hour of staff time (underestimated since this is physician/RN/admin blended time) that’s $58million of just labor cost.
Not including denials/appeals…

Today, Idaho was at the Supreme Court arguing that hospitals should be allowed to deny pregnant women the emergency medical care necessary to save her health or life if that care includes an abortion.

ER doctors and nurses should be freed to give care, to save lives and provide medical treatment to anyone who needs it — without politicians coming between patients and emergency care #BansOff

Emergency access to abortion care can be the only way to save the lives of people experiencing complications caused or exacerbated by pregnancy. More than two dozen leading medical organizations urge #SCOTUS not to weaken #EMTALA. Read the full statement: bit.ly/3xUtGbG

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…
Yes, medical residents are once again exempted from being paid overtime.
See p. 378 of the final rule PDF:
ALT Screenshot of page 378 of 383 of the Department of Labor final rule, which notes that exceptions to the standard salary criteria will apply to medical residents.
BREAKING: 4 million workers will now take home more money when they work more than 40 hours a week under a new Labor Dept. rule released today. The changes would make it so salaried workers earning less than about $59k annually would automatically be due overtime pay.
As likely the only board certified EM physician and repro rights attorney in the country, few things get me fired up like EMTALA and the denial of emergency abortion care. Our patients deserve better. Join us tomorrow as we rally for patients at SCOTUS 🙌🏼🙌🏼
EMTALA saves lives.
We’re taking the truth to the steps of the Supreme Court. Join us in the fight against anti-abortion extremists on 4/24 at 9 AM. Register here: act.nwlc.org/a/emtala-rally?…
Also, how cool is it that @GWEMresidency canceled grand rounds tomorrow so residents could attend! Advocacy is crucial to our work as doctors, and nothing is closer to ER doc hearts than EMTALA!!

Shortly after the fall of ‘Roe v. Wade' in 2022, @SkyePerryman @GreerDonley & @KimiChernoby sounded the alarm that far-right extremists had set their anti-abortion sights on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. time.com/6208656/abortion-em…
Lol criminalizing transmission of Bacterial Vaginosis is everything you need to know about non-medical people legislating health care
