Look up Denise Levertov’s poem, “The Servant Girl at Emmaus” and the painting of the same name by Velazquez. After the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to two people walking to Emmaus, they did not recognize Him and invited Him to supper. The servant recognized Jesus before his supper companions did.

I’m afraid that means deleting Bluesky. Breaks my 💙 but I’m starting to pop benzos-not good. I am getting my news from the Guardian online.

Just picked this book up from the library today. I started with the epilogue (weird, I know, but…) and it’s already grabbed me. I’ll have to order a copy of my own, but NOT from Amazon.

Tell me where and I’ll be there. I’m retired and have lots of time. Former pediatrician and Federally funded researcher- my job would be in jeopardy if I was still employed.

News of our SC Representative Nancy Mace: from today’s Charleston Post Courier- she “has suggested autism can be cured through changes to their diet.” Wonder what her view is on vaccines? Next- RFKjr will be campaigning for her run for governor of South Carolina.

There are a lot of pediatricians who are sub-par out there. A great club.

He’s broken. Too late to fix him? I hate to believe that it’s too late; maybe I’m naive but is there a thread of humanity in him? I’m a retired pediatrician- have always had faith in my patients. On the other hand, always believed that if the parents were “broken” then no hope for the kid.

I’ve read this book- little bits and pieces of it have been popping into my mind over the past few weeks- scares the hell out of me.

Public health communication will need to be distributed by State and local health authorities. It’s time to step up to ensure accurate information gets to the community.

You know this has to have been planned - Project 2025? The review committees are critical for rewarding grant funding, but Trump wouldn’t know to take this kind of action.

Concerns with US exit from WHO. We will certainly out of the loop when the next world pandemic hits- (note “when” not “if “).

My first thought was- “Unbelievable” but, these days it is believable. Still, my heart hurts over this craziness. There is so much science to back this up.

I remember as a young child being terrified that I might end up in an iron lung. I’m 68 yo, vaccines work.

Orbital by Samatha Harvey (Booker Prize) and Chasing Hope by Nick Kristof. Trying to read fiction and nonfiction at the same time, not sure how it’s going to work out 🤪🤪

I live in South Carolina. Very very conservative governor and legislature. Nothing will happen here but I’m interested in joining. I’m a retired pediatrician.

Heartbreaking. When I was a first year pediatric resident, the H flu vax was given around 15 months. There was always infants in the PICU with Hflu meningitis . By the time I was a 3rd year resident, Hflu was given at 2,4 and 6 months- no babies in the PICU with Hflu. Vaccines work.

Favorite pastime- reading book reviews and putting interesting books on hold at our public library. If it’s a best seller, I might wait weeks or months but it’s like Christmas when my name comes up!
