I fully support med students being involved in advocacy, but this isn’t that. Ick factor 10/10.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This video is one of the best representations of why so many women don’t come forward. It’s quick, please share widely. We must continue to demand the release of the full #EpsteinFiles. This video is heartbreaking to hear the seats creak as people sit down
