Is Wokeness Invading American Medical Schools?

In a case reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2019, a transgender man (a natal female) reported to the emergency department of an American hospital with abdominal pains. He told the triage nurse that he was transgender, but the nurse did not absorb what that meant. She classified the case as non-urgent. As a result the transgender man’s baby was still-born.

Under Communism, women were often sterilised after childbirth without their consent – and the practice continued until 2012. After years of campaigning for justice, the government has decided to award women who were unlawfully sterilised between 1966 and 2012 a grant of CZK 300,000 (US$14,000).
