Jessica Geida, OBGYN & Mom

About 25% of physicians in the US are international medical graduates and not only are these colleagues amazing, kind, caring and qualified doctors, but they tend to practice in specialities that serve the most vulnerable populations These include internal and family medicine, pediatrics, & psychiatry For perspective, I just called to make my annual physical appointment as a new patient and I’m scheduled for MARCH 2026! The shortage will only get worse … please call your local senators / tag them and advocate for the care we all desperately need & deserve #doctor #obgyn #physicianshortage #workingmom #pcp #primarycare #img #md #do #medicine

Science is truly amazing, autism doesn’t “ruin families”, and doctors are humans, too #ChooseYou #obgyn #vaccines #mmr #measlesoutbreak #autism #vaccine #vaccine

I guess going back to high school kinda intimidates me even though I’m a doctor, which is all I wanted when I was in high school? Help me pick which outfit plz #obgyn #doctor #doctormom #laboranddelivery #medstudent #premed #residency #obgyndoctor

Someone said I became a doctor because I’m a hypochondriac but what if I was just trying to figure myself out all along? Grateful for the TikTok community that helped me realize my own diagnoses lonnnng before western medicine has … #obgyn #pots #mcas #eds #hsd #chronicillness #chronicpain

“Sooner or later you are going to fall back in love with your life. Sooner or later your chest isn't going to weigh heavy like an anchor within your body. Sooner or later, you will remember the lightness, the days that didn't end in aching, and that is when you will realize it, that is when you will understand—you survived.” - the strength in our scars by bianca sparacino #obgyn #burnout #obgyndoctor #workingmoms #medicine #medschool #medstudent #hospitalist #laborist #obgynlife #residency

Because science, mental health, and marshmallows can all coexist Especially in light of a second child death due to measles VaccinesSaveLives #BreakTheStigma #CrunchyAndProVax #SSRISquad #ppd #ppa #maternalhealth #maternalmentalhealth #pregnancy #postpartum #toddlermom #workingmom #obgyn #science #vaccines

At least I’ve got job security 🤷‍♀️ Also, I use sarcasm as a defense mechanism because the current state of affairs is not OKAY and I’m a strong believer that if you don’t laugh you’ll cry, so laughter it is #CrozerClosing #delco #obgyn #obgyndoctor #laboranddelivery #laboranddelivery #reproductiverights #doctormom #birthcontrol

Please tell me yours!! I’d do anything for my patients and I KNOW there are many other amazing OBGYNs (and other women’s health providers) who would do the same #obgyn #obgyndoctor #obgynlife #doctor #doctorsoftiktok #fyp

This was my med school personal statement and I cannot believe that we’ve somehow gone back in time in the US to a period where my daughter has less rights as a human being than an embryo inside my uterus but alas here we are I won’t stop treating my patients with respect, dignity, and compassion, thereby ensuring I can help in whatever way possible #obgyn #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #butterflyeffect #medstudent #premed #resident #obgyndoctor

I’m so tired of moms being the bad guys and dads being the good ones It’s time to break that cycle and remember that BOTH parents are in fact, parents I’d love to book golf for 4-6 hours every weekend but I don’t because society tells me if I do that, I’m a bad mom — yet it praises “dads” for doing it anyway Other things I’ve heard recently that make me want to scream “Can you get the cake, you’re better at it?” “I’ll go with them, you’re a great photo taker, so you do that” What else would you add?

Just because medicine abused you doesn’t mean I have to endure it too  Tel me yours in the comments #ChooseYou #Medicine #medicalstudent #medstudent #resident #residency #fellow #fellowship #obgyn #obgyndoc #doctorsoftiktok #workingmom #doctormom

It’s not because I’m burnt out or don’t value patient care Its not because I’m selfish or not a team player I’m not I do I’m not I am It’s because I’ve been through some things early in my career that (hopefully) many will never live through and they changed my brain chemistry in honestly the best way possible #posttraumaticgrowth Over the last two years I realized I simply don’t *WANT* to work full time as an OBGYN ever again And this parts important so pay attention - I own no one, not even myself, an explanation for my decisions Like and share if you feel the same because normalizing physicians as human beings is my now and forever calling #ChooseYou

It’s true, Measles has made its way to Philadelphia and those at greatest risk are < 1 years old as they aren’t routinely vaccinated yet Just another example of how vaccines save lives and the entire anti vax movement is rooted in fear over facts #vaxxed #measles #vaccine #vaccineswork #vaccines #measles #measlesoutbreak #philly #phillymom

But healthcare workers really do So saddened to the hospital where I was born, where I rotated as a third year med student and interviewed for residency, That served such a wonderful community and was a staple in providing necessary human care to so many, So very heartbroken to see it close Yet heart warmed to see it go out like this #crozerclosing #crozer #delco Credit: Mary Urciuoli Caparros
