Enjoyed very much the opportunity to speak with NBC4 Washington & Eun Yang about the return to activities for #kids with #concussion . Thanks for having me on!

What, you say?
Children aren’t *actually*just small adults????? (/s)

3 cheers for adding pediatric info to med labeling. More, please.

Pediatric information added to labeling of over 100 drugs, biologics in 2023 publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/2…

We’ve been having cases of H5N1 (and other H5 H7 avian influenzas) jump to humans for a while, the good news is that so far these haven’t ignited serious or large scale human epidemics, but it’s something to be vigilant about, and part of our pandemic preparedness. Paper attached

Explanation 4581 why #pediatrics is the best -

Reason for visit:

“Allergic reaction either to peanut butter ice cream or the ground up stuff at the bottom of the bearded dragon tank”

Important note for everyone -

- the kids WILL see it

So keep private business private

How about “be aware of” rather than “worry about”-

Awareness leaves space for action; worry implies helplessness, and that’s not necessarily the case here. 🤦🏻‍♀️

So cool! I hope the U.S. Soccer Men's National Team & U.S. Women's National Soccer Team are taking notes

The lady in the car lane next to me was driving a convertible mini-Cooper (top down) with 3 passengers—

- golden retriever
- black lab
- yellow lab

Pretty sure she is winning at life ⭐️

We also studied the response to measles in a child care facility. An infected childcare worker exposed 500 people, including unvaccinated infants who are at high risk for severe disease. Parents lost weeks of work. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33200687/

You don’t want a judge telling you whether you can have dialysis, or chemotherapy, or CPR. And you don’t want a judge telling you what you can do with your own embryos.

Around 90% of unvaxxed kids who have close contact with an infected person will get measles; around 1 in 5 unvaxxed kids who get measles will be hospitalized

Measles killed 136,000 kids in 2022, the latest year for which we have data

ALL kids deserve the benefits of vaccination

…one of the illnesses that make us run not walk when we suspect it-

Roses are red;
They’re beautiful flowers.
How can we spend more time with our patients,
Instead of charting for hours.

Happy Valentine’s Day to those who feel unloved, to those grieving, to those missing someone, to those who may be mentally & physically drained, to the worried, to the lonely, to those doing their best to hold it together…

You’re loved 🫶🏽 This librarian is so happy you’re here!

Roses are red;
A color intense.
Prioritizing preventative healthcare
Makes a whole lotta sense.

ICD-10 Z71.1

“Person with feared complaint in whom no diagnosis is made”

How often are you using this code, #MedTwitter ?

'Lockdown' doesn't do this to kids. 'The Vaccine' doesn't do this. 'Immunity Debt' (which isn't a real thing anyway) doesn't do this. Y'know what does? Yeah... Covid-19, that's what. The deadly Bio-Hazard Pathogen SARS-CoV-2, just doing what it was born to do. Unlike our kids😢😷
