hey #tootiatricians & #tweetiatricians
My friend Dr David Hill @davidlhillmd is running for #AAP #President!
Dave has been an advocate for #equity, a champion of children of all backgrounds & a mentor/sponsor for colleagues like me
I saw firsthand how Dave leveraged his privilege & take the initiative to address #DEI well before it became a national priority.
Here he shares some background (en Español) about his commitment to care
Please share & join me in supporting Dr Hill!

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
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2803748
and
2) As a Doctor, I thought...Until [death] came for my son by Dr. Bonnie Chen

We often ask "What if it were your child?" during times when children are hurt, killed or terrorized
Last night, as has happened EVERY year, children, families & worshippers at #AlAqsa mosque were attacked during prayers in th most holy month of #Ramadan for #Muslims & a #medical #clinic was destroyed-now unable to provide #healthcare
Press coverage is nearly nonexistent, outcry is minimal.
Why?
What if it were your child?

I was 2 days late watching the #TedLasso S3 premiere, but ready & eagerly awaiting the next #MedLasso podcast with @ETSshow & twitter's #RealDoctorT (is he on #Medmastodon yet?)
Can I ask you guys show questions here since I now avoid the hateful unregulated disinfo-spewing bird app almost completely?
Update: I bought a tiny AFC Richmond scarf for my #Grogu, which pretty much tells people everything they need to know about me! Pics to follow once it arrives! 🤣

there are moments when I am especially grateful and proud to be a "naturalized" Minnesotan
this is most definitely one of them!
Thank you, Governor Walz, for taking an important step to protect all kids in Minnesota from #FoodInsecurity #Minnesota #putkids1st #tweetiatricians #tootiatricians

"People don't fake depression...they fake being okay"
A friend recently shared tragic news of 3 #physician #suicide at her institution over 2 months
#MentalHealthMatters for everyone
Young patients #kids #teens are also struggling everyday with #depression #anxiety #suicidality #EatingDisorders
It shouldn't take 3 #suicides for us to understand that we should be kind & accommodating

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.

What happens when kids ask this pediatrician if eating seeds can make a watermelon grow in their stomach? 😳🤣

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

Lots of great #pediatric #injuryprevention info coming from Injury Free Coalition for Kids over on Twitter. Will try to figure out how to convert those tweets into toots!

Has anyone noticed patients who have been stable on #FocalinXR or one of its generics suddenly stop tolerating it? I've seen several recently. #mood #appetite #duration have all been issues in different people.
Has there been a change in any of the manufacturers?

Now is a great time to remind any family members to get their #COVID 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!
