To #MedTwitter - If Dr. Dennar's story isn't immediately recognizable to you, it means that 1) you don't actually know any Black people well enough to be trusted with our stories and 2) you don't actually know yourselves or your own healthcare systems.

This means you have much work to do. That work is not #DEI work. It is not "implicit" bias training. It is not organizing lectures on "diversity." It is not "disparities" research. It is not putting a #BLM pin on your coat or hashtag in your bio, radical though this may feel.
The work is understanding and dismantling the fundamentally anti-Black system that continues to produce the outcomes that it is designed to produce. Nothing less will suffice.
In these threads we redact the details of our own stories. To protect the guilty. Who have power and sway over our jobs. Of our ability to continue to do what we love. Because once we point out the problem? We become the problem.
