The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

Parent and pediatrician here. All vaccines are still available & recommended. Talk to your pediatrician for more info. Know this: Even as our government shifts its recommendation language, I would never forgo the RSV, hepatitis A & B, or meningitis vaccines for my own kids.

Aww, thanks @ash.hematology.org! Cute little Red is going to have to hang out in my office with me, and I'm sure we can get some use out of the sweet treat picker in clinic. It's been a great weekend at #ASH25!

Collection of gifts from ASH - a card, gift bag, pin that says "I've been ASH'd (it's a good thing!), pin that spins to pick sweet treats, and a stuffed ASH mascot named Red

I'm sorry this is your experience. To say our healthcare system leaves a lot to be desired is an understatement.

Jessica Zimmerman, MD, MS @joz-md.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

I think this is important - our documentation shouldn't have any surprises in it. We should be discussing what we think and our decision making process face to face to come up with the best plan. Also important is remembering that our medical language may not mean what we think it does to patients.

Jessica Zimmerman, MD, MS @joz-md.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Great point - they touched on this! It's important to not just think of the provider's perspective but also how the reader may interpret what is written. Adding more rationale for why certain words/phrases are used can help (and of course, actually discussing during the visit - no surprises!)

Great presentation on the importance of calling out stigmatizing language in our trainees (and colleagues), and patients reading notes can actually help strengthen the provider relationship. #ASH25 #MedEd

Slide showing that patients reading their notes can help strengthen provider relationships

I have to say that as both a pediatrician and a mom of a school age kid, it is not lost on me that #ASH25 is the 67th... you're welcome 🙃

An #ASHaiku from a Midwesterner at #ASH25: Coming from cold means Normally cold meeting rooms Don't feel so chilly

The meeting is still young, but it will be hard to top a dark chocolate covered Oreo for favorite food at #ASH25 #ASHScavengerHunt

As a dog person, I fully support this part of #ASH25 (and also support the idea of a mid-afternoon nap if needed) #ASHScavengerHunt

Interesting work by Nikolai Gajic and colleagues highlighting the seemingly unique susceptibility of ALL to ferroptosis when at low cell density (like MRD settings) and not high cell density #ASH25 #ASHScavengerHunt

Not officially part of the scavenger hunt, but I also found a piece of my hometown helping with the shuttle service at #ASH25

Starting the morning at #ASH25 finding a thing for the #ASHScavengerHunt. And it even has a small section specifically for #PHODocs!

Jessica Zimmerman, MD, MS @joz-md.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Dusting off this app and the snow/cold because it's time for #ASH25! Excited for the #ASHScavengerHunt this year.

#ASHKudos to Rachel Rau, Sumit Gupta, the whole AALL1731 study committee, all of our COG sites, and most importantly, our patients and families who made these results possible. So exciting to officially see these results on the big stage at #ASH24 (and presented by a great mentor too!)

Time for the annual filling of my #MedEd cup at the #ASH24 Medical Educators Symposium! Always a great way to start Sunday morning.

My adorable slippers from getting ASH'd last year by @ash-hematology.bsky.social made a return trip to San Diego to help relax while catching up on simultaneous sessions from #ASH24 (and #ASHKudos to Janice Staber for her talk on heavy menstrual clinics!)

Since I first got on Twitter because of #ASHMEI, it only makes sense that I make the move here in prep for #ASH24. En route to warmer San Diego!
