🚨sexual assault and medical racism 🚨
Dr. Cargle was a @UCLA medical student when she reports being forced to watch her supervising surgeon at @harbor_ucla sexually assault his unconscious, anesthetized Black male patient.
Dr. Cargle authored an “anonymous” report about the sexual assault/gun. But after reading the details of her claim, the surgeon was able to ID her as the whistleblower. The hospital was made aware but chose not to investigate, despite previous reports of his sexual misconduct.
She is now being terminated from her LAC+USC Orthopaedic surgery residency.
NONE of this is okay.
This must be investigated IMMEDIATELY and the attending must be held to account.
Dr. Cargle deserves our protection and support above all else at this time.

Please take the time and learn about Kira’s story.
Kira passed away in 2016, after a routine C-section due to a healthcare providers negligence. Her symptoms were ignored and downplayed, her husband’s pleas for help were pushed aside.
Black women 3x more likely to die during childbirth. Kira’s husband, Charles Johnson founded @4Kira4Moms in 2017 to become a voice and advocate for mothers and families facing similar losses.
Join us Friday, June 17th at 1 PM EST to hear Charles’ story and join Mae’s Clinical Director, Dr. Michelle Owens, and Doula Kelli Blind for a Q&A Discussion. Click the link in our bio for additional details and to RSVP 💜
For all women, the journey of pregnancy comes with a unique set of concerns. There’s stress about how your body will change. There’s anxiety around everything you do (or maybe don’t do) to help grow and nurture a healthy baby. Prenatal care providers listen for baby’s heartbeat, measure amniotic fluid and monitor fetal growth, but simply checking these things off a list isn’t always enough. The goal of a healthy pregnancy is to deliver a healthy baby; what seems less obvious is that healthy babies need healthy moms too. If you’re a Black expectant mom, you’re three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women, according to the American Medical Association. Although there are no decisive reasons for the depths of this disparity, studies support that implicit bias and racism play a major role in the care soon-to-be Black moms receive. #TheBump | 🎥: @destiniliann 🔁 @thebump
I wish you all LOVE, I wish you all HAPPINESS, I wish you all HEALTH. Most of all, I wish you the strength to stand up and fight relentlessly against anything that threatens the aforementioned 🙏🏽💛✊🏽💫
#LOVEALWAYSWINS SAFE
Trigger Warning: this needs to be seen and not normalized. Let’s protect our children and demand change and accountability we owe it to them.

Bullets don’t know party lines and affiliations. Demand change now! Call your state representative, form a parent coalition, and if you don’t feel safe sending your children to school let’s find ways to center other ways to educate our children.

On April 13, 2016, Charles Johnson, lost his wife Kira to massive internal bleeding post a routine C-section at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, California, hours after she delivered their son Langston. ⠀
⠀
(He shares the chilling timeline of how her condition rapidly decreased and his pleas for help were ignored at 4Kira4Moms.com. Read it!) ⠀
⠀
In response to her unnecessary death and on a mission to improve maternal outcomes, he founded @4Kira4Moms in 2017 to be a voice for other mothers and families facing similar losses and to advocate for policy change. ⠀
⠀
We know maternal mortality does not just take the lives of the women who are lost and that it changes the lives of those who love them and are left behind forever. ⠀
⠀
As we approach Father’s Day, we want to honor the men and children who are directly impacted by this crisis and amplify their voices, share their stories and support this fight. ⠀
⠀
Charles will be joining us via Zoom on Friday, June 17th at 1 pm EST. He’ll share his story and join Mae’s Clinical Director, Dr. Michelle Owens, and Doula Kelli Blinn for a Q&A discussion. ⠀
⠀
We hope you join us too. It will be a powerful, moving, and incredibly important Conversations That Matters. ⠀
