In the space of about 12 hours today, I read two achingly beautiful, heartbreaking accounts about the loss of a young child from two different physicians.

I encourage all to read both pieces:
1) Losing Ceci by Dr. Ethan Sanford
jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/
and
2) As a Doctor, I thought...Until [death] came for my son by Dr. Bonnie Chen

Press coverage is nearly nonexistent, outcry is minimal.

Why?

What if it were your child?

I have learned to adjust my calming end of the day reflection from

“Tomorrow will be better”

to

“Tomorrow might be just as difficult, but tonight is for recovery to be able to face the challenges tomorrow, God willing"

I think it helps to be realistic with expectations, but also to maintain resilience when situations cannot be controlled.

Can someone direct me in where to find state laws on prescribing ? I am specifically interested in requirements for to follow.

This shouldn't be so hard to find, but I've tried all the search terms I can think of and can't find how often patients need to be seen, if there is a difference between in person vs telehealth visits, and other issues.

Has anyone noticed patients who have been stable on or one of its generics suddenly stop tolerating it? I've seen several recently. have all been issues in different people.

Now is a great time to remind any family members to get their bivalent boosters and make sure your kids get vaccinated too!

Winter is long and the viruses are getting tougher.

Prevention is the best way to keep everyone safe & healthy!
