    Hi everyone. I’m a high-risk pregnancy doctor; a writer, mostly about medicine () with book forthcoming, “High Risk” (Liveright/Norton 2020); and, of course, was once retweeted by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Also, my kids are cute

    I think this profile is beautifully done and novel (and moved me to put Jenny Offills books on hold at the library)

    It also can legitimately hard to know what an emergency IS (I mean, we can't always tell and we went to school for this for a long time).

    I love, love, love this post (especially the calm, so calm medical people just moving quickly; God, I love those people.)

    Yup. We need to widen our gaze if we’re going to meaningfully change things. I wrote that a few weeks ago here. But now we have US stats to back it up

    And use of women and lady not meant to exclude trans folks - I generally use the language that my patients use for themselves, and will happily be corrected if that language is wrong for you.

    ANYWAY, I'm still annoyed and I'm not saying you should buy the book and make it a best-seller as revenge (though please go ahead). I'm saying that he made the argument FOR the book; because he's missing the point of it all. 7/7

    Since all of the things I talk about are part of what it means to be a human; & relevant to us all. (And, fyi, hella interesting and compelling. Honestly: you ignore reproductive life at your novelistic peril). 6/x

    You *can* think that, but I would argue that would be a manifestation of something that starts with M and rhymes with bisogyny.* I would also argue that it is stupid to think that 5/x

    And I was so upset, and I'm STILL kind of upset (though this happened weeks ago). Because, of course, that's the point: I talk about lady parts, and birth and blood and babies and placentas and I guess you can think all those things are only for women to care about. 4/x

    Him: "Well, you know, there aren't going to be a lot of people who read this!" Me: Me: Me: (gathering myself): "Why would you say that? I am, as you know, ambitious in *everything* I do." Him: Me: (Walked away) 3/x

    So my book is coming out soon. I'm at an unrelated party, when an older man (friendly, loves my family, has always been gracious, maybe 20 years older than me), comes up to me. Him: "I hear your book is coming out! I hope you don't think it will be a best-seller!" Me: 2/x

    Who wants a fun story about writing women's health and misogyny? I thought you would! Settle in, it's a thread. 1/x

    Wise/unwise to read me before labor,, who am I to say? But I just found her blog and she hooked me with the cooking/Pollan/Birman post (yes! WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT FEEDING SMALL HUMANS??) and then the Marie Kondo post killed me. Subscribed so fast my thumbs are numb.

    The inimitable is lecturing and it is - no surprise - full smart pop culture and AMAZING. When’s the last time you went to a medical lecture featuring Lady Gaga, while making *excellent* points about change and agency in medical institutions? SO GREAT.

    Look what came today! It's getting real, people. The Q I get asked: "Are you going on a book tour?" Answer: I'd love to; it depends on you! If you & library/synagogue/med school/pinochle team invite me, I'll sure as heck try to come. Email me at chaviKardoc@gmail or DM!

    Reupping my new piece: is a crisis. But it’s a more complex one than we currently understand. When we don’t widen our understanding of what these women truly face, we narrow, too, our ability to solve it. - in
