Cool...count me in! eagerly awaiting details

Good to remember that over the centuries, much about the practice of medicine has NOT changed. Take the complaints about documentation, for example. #graphicmedicine

Would adding #AI to an electronic health record…would that be a good thing? #graphicmedicine

Teaching kids how to swallow pills: Have the child place a pill or capsule on their tongue with water at the ready. Then, as the acrid taste hits their taste buds, a big gulp of water will (hopefully help them gulp it down). Caveat: don’t wear nice shoes! #pediatrics #graphicmedicine

Amazing time at Red Meadow Farm in Carver, Mass. The cranberry harvest is well underway and their tours of the farm were both fascinating AND a hoot!

When you are drawing…see where the lines take you. Oft times, it may not end up where you expect…and that is all right. #doodles

What’s more fun than solving the crossword with excellent help on a #sundaymorning?

Reach Out and Read promotes a love of reading! And sometimes, it even is a true introduction to books for some kids. Best kind of prescription: all upside, benign to excellent side effects. #graphicmedicine #pediatrics @bostonmedicalcenter (from whence it came!)

From the time we arrive on planet, children are on their way to adulthood…and our collective job is to help them get their happy, healthy and well. ... #graphicmedicine

Time to rebrand a scourge of childhood? #graphicmedicine

What if newborns arrived being able do to so much more than essential functions? It would make working in the nursery or NICU a very different experience. #pediatrics #graphicmedicine

One man’s (pig’s?) trash is another’s treasure… Take #AI for example.

Rediscovering life after battery life. Worth it. #techlife.

We love our #AI powered devices, right? Will we always be able to determine the appropriateness of the answer we are getting to the question we ask? Will they spin stuff? #techlife

Babies & the Extrusion reflex. Seen from 0 to 4ish months or more, a baby pushes material out of the mouth on the tongue. It gets messy but diminishes in time to trial feeding cereals or soft jar foods off a spoon. If VERY pronounced, hold off in feeding by spoon for 1-2 weeks. #pediatrics

The cat continues to live rent free in the littlest dog’s head. Good times.

Collecting a midstream urine culture is harder than you think, Dept. Goal: wipe x3 towelettes, void, collect small sample whilst peeing, return w/ cup, closed. Should be Easy-Pee-sy, right? #graphicmedicine

Me: Wanted to be sure you were trending better and not getting worse. And you aren't. Thank you for coming today. 6: Seems like a waste of time... Mom: Hey! So so sorry. Me: I get it. I'm just glad we are having a fun conversation and not a glum one. Ok, kiddo, you're good to go! #pediatrics End.

Clinic Me: Ok, you sound and look GREAT. Considering that you were in the ICU a few days ago, I am so happy to see you look so well. You can go back to school. 6 yo (stunned): That's it? We came all the way here for THAT? Me: Yes, in a way. cont'd 1/2

Anxious asphalt just in time for the spooky season #morningwalk.

I fall into the camp who are NOT happy about the later sunrises and earlier sunsets. Thanks anyway, #autumn.

More often than you think, kids will reflect and understand that childhood is fleeting...and some wish they had more of an ability to enjoy the journey, and not rush through it. #pediatrics

Pretty sure we’ve gotten our feelies wrong. While we’ve gotten our National conversation into a direction that questions Science (ok), or even dismisses Science (not ok), it has come at a cost of trust to the physician-patient relationship. We’ve got work to do. #graphicmedicine
