Doctors and medical schools are adapting treatments and training to address the health impacts of climate change.

"There’s a body of knowledge...that physicians need to know if they’re going to be effective in taking care of patients," says Jay Lemery, MD, of @cumedicalschool.bsky.social

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him.

So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.
For decades, a doctor refused to charge patients who couldn't pay. When he couldn't pay, his patients came to his aid.
When Dr. Michael Zollicoffer was diagnosed with two types of cancer, his patients started a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $100,000.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Hi @cardioobdoc.bsky.social @cardioob.bsky.social @accintouch.bsky.social what is the official term to describe cardiomyopathy during pregnancy? I am seeing the following:
1. peripartum cardiomyopathy
2. gestational cardiomyopathy
3. hypertensive cardiomyopathy of pregnancy

Thank you in advance!🙂

It’s a systemic issue. As a woman in med school, I believe wellness, compassion, and addressing the mental health challenges of female physicians must begin at the med school level. We need to prioritize this from the start.

Incredible! Interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Said performs open-heart surgery on newborn during c-section. Procedure is called ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT).

Stories like this keep me motivated to be on the #MFM #OB side one day. 🥰

Gutting Medicaid, which many rely on for maternity care and to pay for the NICU (birth weight < 1,200 g), is the most anti fetus, anti-newborn legislation possible.
