@chemistrygirlie: THIS is why representation in healthcare matters! ❤️ At just 17 weeks pregnant, Brionna Johnson faced an unimaginable challenge. She had a massive 27-pound cluster of uterine fibroids, and several physicians had recommended ending her pregnancy and having a hysterectomy. But she wasn’t ready to give up. She found Dr. Pierre Johnson, a Black OB-GYN at Loretto Hospital in Chicago, who successfully removed the 27-pound mass while preserving her pregnancy and uterus. Think about that for a moment! After surgery, Brionna was finally able to breathe, walk and move more comfortably. And she began feeling those precious flutters of her unborn baby. As someone who spent 45 years in nursing, including maternal-child healthcare, stories like this mean something deeply to me. Women deserve to be heard. They deserve options, access to knowledgeable physicians, and care that considers their individual circumstances. And sometimes, having someone who listens and is willing to explore another option can make all the difference. Celebrating Dr. Pierre Johnson and the incredible possibilities of women’s healthcare! #BlackMaternalHealth #BlackDoctors #womenshealth #BlackTikTok
