The attacks on reproductive health care, they’re on women, they’re on immigrants, they’re on LGBTQ people, they’re on people of color, they’re on low-income people. They’re really on all of us. And that’s why we need to speak out, we need to fight back on these policies, and to understand, too, that an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and the consequence is people’s lives.

Worthy study break, for those who are interested in learning about Doctor Transparency, or lack thereof. 

"Being totally transparent is scary. You feel naked, exposed, and vulnerable. But that vulnerability, that humility, it can be an extraordinary benefit to the practice of medicine. 

When doctors are willing to step off our pedestals, take off our white coats, and show our patients who we are and what medicine is all about, that is when we begin to overcome the sickness of fear, that's when we establish trust, that's when we change the paradigm of medicine from one of secrecy and hiding to one that is fully open and engaged for our patients." -- Dr. Leana Wen
