Multi-faceted #GrandRounds this week by PGY4 Lauren Farmer MD - Autonomy (or lack thereof) in Pregnancy. Social justice, advocacy, reprod health & landscape for physicians/pts re: informed choices—and how autonomy takes time! Challenges of balancing guidelines, ethics, advocacy.

Christmas is my yearly reminder that my family has absolutely no idea what I do as a surgical resident 😅

- “So are you a doctor yet?” (Yes) “Oh really?! For how long?” (4.5 years)

- “So do you actually do surgery?” (🤷‍♀️)

Congratulations Dr Beverly Gray !!!!

Last month, Walmart told its NC pharmacists not to dispense a common miscarriage drug until they confirmed it wasn't for an abortion (even as relevant laws stayed the same).
