Dr. Gail Wyatt reflecting on the unethical history of medicine: “They don't know that those first surgeries that were done on women were done on slaves... And they had multiple surgeries. One woman had 30 surgeries without aesthetics, and finally died.” #HerDreamDeferred
“The very core of our field is white supremacy,” says @doccrearperry, citing early eugenics and race science. “The colonization of medicine and healthcare is so deep.” #HerDreamDeferred
“We have no ability to hold doctors accountable. If we think we're going to get to equity and freedom through lawsuits and malpractice, that's never going to happen— we have not created any kind of infrastructure for accountability,” says @doccrearperry

On using race as a variable in medicine:
“We really need to be explicit in our medical research & in our scholarship about why we use race & what it's a proxy for, and being explicit about racism as being the cause for these disparities,” says @hhdoctoralisha. #HerDreamDeferred
“Race is more of a verb than a noun,” says @sandylocks. “Race as the factor, as the variable, in turn places the difference in our body, right? And we are the site of the intervention rather than the institution itself being a site of the intervention.”

“And even if we introduce critical race theory, intersectionality, reproductive justice [to meds schools], the actual experts are not even being invited to actually teach the very discourses and scholarships and concepts that they created,” says @RJEpiOBWarrior. #HerDreamDeferred
