Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 20/08/2025This. Yes, once feds change policies on prevention, insurance will stop covering it. Prevention never was profitable in a short enough time frame and it is government mandates that, well, made it mandatory. 000

Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 20/08/2025This is what they wanted: to make government so untrustworthy — filled with ideologues, not scientists — to make the left make anti-government statements. After 4 years, trust is not a simple switch to flip. 3292
Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 20/08/2025The main issue is lack of research. How can you have “evidenced based” diagnosis and treatment when the evidence base is lacking as the research was never done? Also missing is inquiry & curiosity when locked into 15 min visits & insurance dictated constraints. 022

Unfortunately, very few people are willing to make the personal sacrifices and take risks needed to protect and defend democracy. Most people want stability and safety.

Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 30/06/2025...could be many thing or combinations of things. We won't know until we have more data and studies. Unfortunately the funding to study such things is just not there. So, maybe it is the wearable companies getting into menopause as a business that will do these studies? 000
Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Could COVID also be the cause of these symptoms? Entirely possible. It could be that the focus on menopause and perimenopause on social media and in magazines is causing a focus on that when it is COVID. Or could be both. Could be..... 120
Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Both/and. Menopause is only taught to 1 in 5 ob/gyn and not at all to most doctors. Perimenopause is something you end up learning about from social media, not your doctor (who education lacked that topic). If "advanced maternal age" is 35 due to ovarian aging: perimenopause can start in 30s. 141
Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 29/06/2025If women are "allowed" or "expected" to be the "emotional" ones, then that is also where it as assumed that when women speak of real medical issues, they are seen as "weak" or "emotional" by doctors and nurses alike. 000
Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Yet we talk of "toxic" masculinity, a narrow form that is devoid of care, emotion, softness. Here was a full masculinity man, who was able to express his feelings rather than be "stoic" -- why can't we have a safe space within a newborn nursery unit for a man who shows emotions about his child? 100
Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 29/06/2025And sexism or misogyny can also harm men: Example, recall an infant, years ago, where the med student noticed something on discharge exam, we got an EEG, infant was having massive seizures. Both Dad and Mom were in tears. Overheard nurses ridiculing dad for crying. 100
Umbereen S Nehal MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal.bsky.social · 29/06/2025I'd say that -isms and -phobias are real overall. Medicine exists within society that is rife with things like sexism or misogyny. To be honest, in my experiences as a patient, as a doctor, as a caregiver, medicine and nursing are both affected by this issue. 120
