@[email protected] @[email protected] Alison Hann offers a great a policy perspective. Her:

"The politics of breast cancer screening" (book, 1996)

and

"Cervical cancer screening: policy or implementation failure?", in Alison Hann (ed.) Analysing health policy (chapter, 2000).

Worth your time.

Submitted an article to a journal, less than two (!) months (!) later, get three thoughtful, constructive peer reviews back. Simply unheard of 🫢

The most interesting thing about this piece is quite how committed the physicians in the comments are to a total lack of self-reflection and a refusal to change a relatively small part of their professional vocabulary.

Excited to share this long gestating @[email protected] piece that @[email protected] and I've been working on. We're currently drafting a more academic version about the term "poor historian," so stayed tuned. Again, this is why #histmed matters! #MedTwitter https://twitter.com/statnews/status/1617835448155488256

"Geriatric" pregnancy. "Incompetent" cervix. "Hostile" uterus.

Why do some words evolve, while others go on haunting moms’ medical charts like the ghosts of medicine past? 👻

For @[email protected], I investigate the strange realm of pregnancy language:

Please Don’t Call My Cervix Incompetent

There’s no end to the weird ways medicine describes women’s bodies.

Article PDF plea 🙏 Does anyone have access to this Lancet article from 1970? (one of the perils of being in a public health school I guess) https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(70)91297-3

Historians of the NHS - I am interested in learning more about the history of gender, public health and screening programmes especially relating to cervical cancer. Just reading Lowy's book on cervical cancer as recommended by @[email protected] - anything else?

A wonderful postcard I've received of PPE'd Nurses of QAIMNS and VADs with a young patient during the Influenza Pandemic (or 'Spanish Flu') c.1918. Comparable to the nursing look I've had the past few years.
