Called my docs answering service and immediately gave myself away as a healthcare person when I said “bilateral.” I usually try and keep that a secret a little longer 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Any generation making fun of millennials is comical at this point. We’ve been the center of all “problems” since forever. When we graduated college we were so “lazy” and “spent too much money on coffee.” I’m 42 now. Feel free to keep complaining about us. It all bounces off us now.

These assassination attempts, whether staged or not, are desensitizing us to political violence just like school shootings have done. We are not on a slippery slope, we are already sliding down that hill and are almost at the bottom.

A trans youth group in Boston has organized a protest of the pediatric academic societies conference which is hosting a panel comprised of SPLC designated hate group affiliates and a Trump admin report author.
A flyer with a blue background and orange banners announcing a protest. Large white text at the top reads "PICKET PAS," followed by an orange banner with white text reading "PROTECT TRANS YOUTH."
In the center is a black-and-white photograph of a crowd of protesters holding a large banner that reads "PROTECT TRANS FUTURES" with a triangle symbol on each side. Behind the banner, protesters are holding up individual square signs that collectively spell out "TRANS HEALTH CARE SHIELD NOW."
Below the photo, text indicates the event details:
 * **SUNDAY • APRIL 26th**
 * **7AM-10AM**
 * **THOMAS MENINO CENTER**
 * **415 SUMMER ST.**
At the bottom left, a white rounded box contains black text reading: "INFORMATION AT @PROTECTTRANSFUTURES AND PROTECTTRANSFUTURES@GMAIL.COM". In the bottom right corner is a circular logo with a triangle in the center, surrounded by the words "PROTECT TRANS FUTURES".

The American people were promised no new endless wars and lower prices. Now we’re bombing Iran (again) and prices are higher than they were when President Trump took office.

I love how hospitals can afford a billing specialist to constantly message me over a weekend but they can’t afford to higher another social worker, or RT, or literally anyone else who provides actual healthcare.

My doc is late. And that’s fine. Bc our system stretches and abuses doctors (and of course other healthcare staff but this is a doc post). So I’ll wait. And hopefully one day the system will stop abusing us so we can be with our patients long enough to really take care them and also not be late.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms. 3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers. 4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against. It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power. Story to come.

Pro tip: to avoid doing the elf, tell your kid that the elf spies on kids w/bad behavior. Since your kid has good behavior, they don’t need an elf. Does it shame other kids? Sure. Does it save your sanity? Also yes. 🫣 But also, really do we need some elf spying on kids? #followmeformoreadvice

If you create the need for charity by voting for or creating bad policies and then donate to the charity that fills the gap you created, that’s not charity or “goodwill.” It’s selfishness

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 Why do we push pack to much against anti-vaccine nonsense? Because vaccines protect our patients the Most. As pediatricians our patients come first. We attempt to address parental anxiety and hesitancy about vaccines. But Disinformed refusal is not informed consent.

What’s crazy about the lie that docs make money from vaccines is the fact that it costs patients more money without them. If a baby gets meningitis, docs make more for a lumbar puncture (since the US only rewards procedures) than we would for a vaccine.

If you know pediatricians in FL, reach out & say hi. It’s rough here. Thankful for the Florida Chapter of the AAP, the AAP & everyone speaking up. Helps when we have many people fighting this together. Plus, the mandate still stands. It is law. There is still damage from this. But the law stands.

Decided this week that talking to people about “food insecurity and the importance of addressing it isn’t working bc “food insecurity” sounds nicer than “starving children.” So to get people to listen, I’m going to start focusing more on “starving.” I don’t get why people won’t listen 😭😭

It’s hard to be on social media these days for a lot of reasons. But one reason really gets at me- nurses & other healthcare staff making fun of residents. It’s worse for female residents. It’s compounded for URIM residents. Bias is real & needs to be owned & fixed by all healthcare staff.

1. Lifeguard $7/hr 2. Pediatrician! I def knew when I became a lifeguard, I loved the training part. The part where you practice emergencies over and over and then the team was ready. At that time I thought I wanted to do ED. I’m a peds hospitalist now and still enjoy helping stabilize a sick kid.

You’d think most people care about kids w/ cancer but you’d be wrong. Our medical reimbursement system sure doesn’t. Pediatric hematology oncology is the 4th lowest paying specialty overall & is 1 of 5 pediatric specialties where 3 extra years of training is rewarded with a lower salary.

Within hematology oncology, physicians caring for adults make 93% more than those caring for kids. 1/2 as much $ to see patients who often can’t tell us what’s wrong, deal with kids AND parents, all in the face of increasing workloads & decreasing trust. It’s no wonder interest is declining.
