‘Mean girls’ in medicine: Why women physicians bully other women CHICAGO — The high-stakes, competitive culture of medicine can create a workplace that is ripe for bullying, particularly among women, with repercussions that can impact patient care and even lead to ...

❓Have you experienced #bullying as a physician❓

Examples include:

👥Gossiping
💻Cyberbullying
🗣️Microaggressions

I spoke with Breanne Jacobs, MD, about how to recognize & stop bullying behavior.

Early Pregnancy Loss Management in the Emergency Department vs Outpatient Setting This cohort study compares the management and outcomes of patients with early pregnancy loss who present to the emergency department vs outpatient clinics.

Dr. Emily Ager (UCSF) at #PWIMS2025 cites this key JAMA paper from 2023: pts who present to the ED for early pregnancy loss vs outpatient setting are less likely to receive active management, even controlling for patient preference.

‘The Pitt’ Showed What Abortion Pill Access Should Look Like The popular HBO show’s accidentally aspirational mifepristone plotline should inspire more emergency rooms to offer medication abortion.

@darakass.com at #PWIMS2025: “If you watch #ThePitt, you know America thinks you can get an abortion in the ED. The truth is you most often can’t.”

We wrote about that disconnect here: www.autonomynews.co/the-pitt-sho...
