Something Was Wrong · S23 Ep14: S23 Roundtable with MAMA founders Kristen & Markeda and Dr. Shannon M. Clark, MD, FACOG · 8 May 2025 podcast

Comes with the territory, I suppose. Since we're on that topic, is 24 hours for you the longest you feel confident in working a shift? What is that cutoff point for you personally?

I asked about the hours and like the cutoff of stamina, so to speak, because in some of these interviews that I've done, especially with ex-employees at the birth centers, they mentioned that midwives would sometimes be working 48-hour shifts per

Yeah, it's a lot to ask of anyone, honestly. Kristen, are you fangirling hard over there? I know you're a huge Dr. Shannon Clark fan.

Dr. Clark, what was it like for you listening to the season thus far? I'm curious if you could give us some of your key takeaways.

That's what's concerning with all of the survivors I interviewed on the record for the season and behind the scenes. For me, what felt like a lack of urgency, a lack of awareness that this is life or death, and just a lack of ability for the patient to consent to what was happening.

Dr. Clark, would you like to respond?

One topic that kept coming up this season in many of the survivors' stories was meconium. I'm curious, Dr. Clark, what your opinion on this matter is. When is meconium serious? At what point when meconium enters the situation does a person need to be transferred and is that considered high risk?

Season 23 survivors Markita, Kristen, and Amanda have created a nonprofit called Moms Advocating for Moms in hopes to create a future where maternal well-being is prioritized, disparities are addressed, and every mother has the resources and support she needs to thrive.

Mama has helped to create a Texas bill called Malik's Law or House Bill 4553, which is intended to improve data reporting requirements for midwives in Texas.

While some data is collected via birth certificate filing, the bill is intended to gather more data that could help improve both maternal and pediatric care, as well as aid consumers in more easily accessible data to make more informed decisions on their own care. To find out ways you can help support Malik's Law, please visit momsadvocatingformoms.org.

Markita, I am curious if you could share a little bit with us about Malik's Law and what we can do to support.

Thank you, Dr. Clark. I see you want to share something.

And that's certainly one of the elements that drew me to work on this season. I tend to gravitate towards stories where areas of the law, there's these significant gaps because it really perplexes me how they still exist in so many situations.

And what I continually see in all settings, in all seasons that we have worked on is that when there is a lack of oversight and accountability, this is where abuse flourishes. And this is where abusers flourish. And as much as it might not be the majority, unfortunately, those, quote, bad apples are in these sorts of parameters can really thrive.

And so it's concerning because, again, these are life and death situations. When we looked at the data in certain states and areas of the U.S., it's certainly concerning. From your perspective, what are the elements causing this maternal health care crisis, if you agree that that's what's occurring?

Thank you so much for sharing that. What solutions would you offer that you feel like would help this crisis?

Thank you so much.

Amazing. I'm just in awe of you three and the things that you are working on. We have linked in the episode notes this season, the website and their Instagram and more information. And the same will be true for this episode. So please check out, support, contact your legislators. Also, Markita is a real estate agent in the DFW area. And I'm just going to plug that. We want to support her.

So if you're looking for a house in the DFW area.

I'm curious, having known each other's stories, Markita, Kristen, and shout out to Amanda, who's not here. Was there anything that you heard back on the podcast that brought new understanding about
