We need more female doctors and health care providers and certainly more of color. In attending my elderly mother’s appointments recently I noticed that the female doctors were so much more prone to listening, caring and, most importantly, acting.

Doctors hate women. They have a history of gaslighting us & trying to kill us for about 200 yrs that I know of. This is generational today. We all have women in our families, brutalized and/or murdered by doctors.

But can you imagine how much would improve even if we increased the number of midwives and pregnancy/ birth doulas who could be care advocates amplifying Mom’s voices during pregnancy and birth? Make them women of color and that voice increases even more! NPR just had something on this topic.

I’m so appreciative of ProPublica for doing important stories like this.

It's why I'm not passive aggressive with anyone in this country. I read the history. You earn the trust in the USA you don't just give it.

It's a real indictment of our society that these health disparities have been known and discussed for decades and the bias/neglect by physicians being a known cause for decades, and it continues. And Republicans ban research into health disparities.

I worked with a number of women’s Heath startups. Physicians not listening is the common thread.

Every woman deserves the best possible medical care during pregnancy. This makes me seriously angry.

Keep fighting please. You’re worth it. She gave up trying to get help despite our best efforts to continue to try to get her to find any doctor who would listen…and when it became clear that life support was next she committed suicide. I’m forever heartbroken
