Featured Work
Patients deserve their doctor's best medical judgment, but Texas officials think they know better.
The doctor-patient relationship is the cornerstone of medical practice, and the foundation of that relationship is trust. Doctors have the privilege of helping people through some of the most important and challenging moments of their lives. We earn patients’ trust by giving them our best medical judgment based on science. That’s why I became a doctor.
Reproductive Freedom in Action
Walking into the UNT Law School conference room for the ACLU of Texas’s first Reproductive Freedom in Action conference, I was excited and almost in disbelief that such an event was taking place in my home city. And when I moved back to Dallas two years ago to start at UTSouthwestern Medical School, I certainly would never have dreamed that I would be involved in the conceptualization and organization of such an event.
