She needs to be disbarred and every single case especially ones dealing with a Black person needs to be reviewed. She is disgusting.
Judge Kathleen Ryan of Oakland County, Michigan (in the Detroit area) has been removed from the bench for racist comments caught on tape.
“If you’re an American Black person, you’re a f***ing lazy piece of s***.”
“I’m not systematically racist. I’m a new racist.”

Stop telling women that they are too young to have endometriosis or have surgery for endometriosis. I recently operated on a 20 year old with endometriosis on her diaphragm, yes, endometriosis nodules all the way up to where her heart and lungs live.

Me: I’m here for my pelvic ultrasound.
Receptionist: Your total will be $450 after insurance.🙂
Me *kindly*: I will not be paying that amount🙂
R: Are you sure? We can do a payment plan.
Me: *whispers* Maam I’m an OBGYN. I’ll do my own US before I pay that.

Those aren’t risks, they’re conditions when having sex could cause harm to the baby or mom. The risk is present the entire time the condition is present which can be diagnosed in any trimester until it resolves, usually after birth. Hope this answers your question!

Buy your own blood pressure cuff, take it to doctors appt & compare it to theirs to make sure it’s accurate. Check your BP twice a day and keep a log. If you start seeing BP 140/90 or higher, notify your doctor. Your blood pressure should go DOWN in pregnancy not up.
