Dr. Neill walks through what complex family planning actually involves — abortion care, contraception, and pregnancy loss care — and shares what a typical (if unpredictable) week looks like between clinic, telehealth, teaching residents, and labor and delivery. The conversation dives into some of the most persistent myths circulating online right now, including the claim that hormonal birth control \"makes your body think it's pregnant\" and viral theories linking teenage birth control use to adult infertility. Dr. Neill and Dr. Fran talk about how they gently push back on these narratives with patients, why curiosity works better than confrontation, and how being active on social media has actually made them better clinicians. They also get into the harder-to-talk-about topics: the political weight of discussing abortion online, algorithm suppression of reproductive health content, and the role of crisis pregnancy centers in steering patients away from real care. Dr. Neill shares a firsthand account of a patient hesitant to share an ultrasound from one of these centers — and what that might say about how CPCs are coaching patients.
