Places I wont practice:

  1. Florida
  2. Texas
  3. Idaho
  4. Missouri
  5. Oklahoma

Keep adding to the list, right-wing legislatures. You're doing great.

KRHalley,

@hannu_ikonen ugh. I experienced the "mental health support" in Oklahoma not so long ago. What a shitshow. Doctors in that state had no clue there were autistic women. I have seen some shit, yo. 🤣🤡🤘🏼♀️♾️🏳️‍🌈 I literally went NORTH

Melody,

@hannu_ikonen incidentally, those are the same places I won’t teach in person. Fascinating. 🤷‍♀️

@Melody @hannu_ikonen Saw a headline today about a hospital maternity ward closing in Idaho, and I image that is also happening in those states. They are going to end up with folk who can't afford to move.

@hannu_ikonen Given how strapped pretty much everywhere is for competent mental health professionals, that's a big fucking thing.

@hannu_ikonen sometimes I think about how terrifying it would be to be a trans fourth year rn. At the whim of the match. No clue where you'll end up practicing and whether it will be safe for you in a few years

@Dynamicallydisabled @hannu_ikonen Christ - is that how it works? You don't really have any say in where you do your residency?

(Sorry, very clueless, in another field)

That's just terrifying. My (trans) kid is a US citizen, and she won't even consider a trip back to the US because she can't be sure where it will be safe between the time we decide to visit and when it actually occurs.

This is all horrific. Sending solidarity, because honestly, can't send much else.

    @hannu_ikonen @Dynamicallydisabled "Elites" with enormous student loans and... yeah, yikes.

    That's completely bonkers. I'm sorry.

    @hannu_ikonen @Dynamicallydisabled 300k???

    Christ. I decided not to go to law school because it was 100k+ in the 1990s, but 300k????

    Way to keep medicine only able to serve the elites because docs can't even practice under other circumstances.

    HLGEM,

    @grrrr_shark @hannu_ikonen @Dynamicallydisabled You can always attend the Uniformed Services University Medical School. No tuition and you get paid a salary to attend. Of course, you then owe the military a few years of service, but you can do your residency during that time, so you aren't far behind your peers when it is time to set up your own practice. And you aren't in debt. One of my sorority sisters did this.

    Individual solution for a system-wide problem: Nice for those who can, but. Everybody can't.

    @Tarheel @HLGEM @hannu_ikonen @Dynamicallydisabled Plus there are many for whom military service isn't an option.

    HLGEM,

    @grrrr_shark @Tarheel @hannu_ikonen @Dynamicallydisabled I didn't suggest it was for everyone. But many people don't know the option exists.
