Los Angeles is under an Extreme Heat Warning, and this is a good time for parents and caregivers to pay extra attention to kids in the heat. Children can become dehydrated or overheated quickly! #HeatSafety #LosAngeles #Pediatrics #ChildSafety #HeatWave

An e-bike may look like a bicycle, but its speed, weight and handling make it a very different ride. #safety #ebike #pediatrics

Politicians shouldn’t be dictating medical care. Ask your pediatrician for advice! Science matters! #pediatrics #vaccineswork #evidencebasedmedicine #parenting

Iron supports brain development, concentration, energy and healthy blood production. Infants with limited dietary iron, children with restrictive diets, and adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding may be at greater risk. Ask your pediatrician. #iron #anemia #irondeficiency #pediatrics #kids

Many children born with congenital heart disease grow into healthy, active adults thanks to remarkable advances in pediatric heart care. But even after successful surgery, lifelong follow-up is often important because hearts change as children grow. #CongenitalHeartDisease

Vape devices can deliver substantial amounts of nicotine, and adolescent brains are particularly vulnerable to addiction. Watch for unfamiliar devices, sweet odors, increased thirst, irritability or unexplained spending…but begin with conversation, not accusation. #vaping

Every year, children’s products are recalled because they can cause choking, burns, poisoning, or other serious injuries. Take a few minutes each month to check for recalls on toys, feeding products, & household items your child uses. A quick review today could prevent a trip to the ER tomorrow.

Medicine isn’t defined by certainty. It’s defined by the humility to keep learning. The goal isn’t perfection…it’s better care for every patient, every day. davidepsteinmd.blogspot.com/2026/07/what... #Medicine #Healthcare #EvidenceBasedMedicine

Recent claims by RFK Jr. propose a link between acetaminophen to autism—but the best evidence says otherwise. Large studies & meta-analyses show no causal link once genetics are controlled. Facts > fear. Even AI (OpenEvidence) confirms it. #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ScienceMatters

Many scientists & healthcare professionals are expressing frustration & anger at RFK Jr.’s attempts to twist scientific truths into conspiracy theories & misinformation. Public health is not a playground for ideology. We need true scientific expertise at HHS. #ScienceMatters

Stepped into the Wild West with a little help from AI—turns out I was making house calls before it was cool (and before cars, phones, or modern anesthesia). Who knew AI could uncover my first medical practice? #TimeTravelByAI #DrEpsteinMD #WildWestDoc #PhysicianAndSurgeon #vintagemedicine

1/3 - Heard the rumor that the MMR vaccine causes autism? One of the biggest studies in the world looked at over half a million kids to find out the truth. What they found might surprise you—and help you breathe easier as a parent. Swipe through to see… #ScienceForParents #MMRVaccine #MedicalFacts

Having a little fun with AI. However, the equipment accessories are somewhat dubious. Don’t try to understand them…😬 #pediatrics #pediatricicu #pediatricintensivist #ai Do you recognize the accessory equipment?

If your child has a peanut allergy, you know the fear that comes with every meal, playdate, and birthday party. But what if early treatment could make peanuts safer—or even help your child outgrow their allergy?

MEDICINE MADE SIMPLE Is There Hope for Kids with Peanut Allergies? A study in "The Lancet" tested oral immunotherapy (OIT) in toddlers to see if it could desensitize or even "cure" peanut allergies. The results? #PeanutAllergy #FoodAllergyAwareness #OIT #Parenting
