Already doctors and clinicians feel the competition with #AI We must adapt & adopt or be surpassed #graphicmedicine

Wouldn’t THAT be cool if we got plot driven after visit summaries? #medsky #graphicmedicine

Helpful but limited graph. #doodles

Challenging: Explaining what a “Well Child Visit” is to a pediatric audience. #pedsky

Little known fact: we early morning runners endure harassment and judgement from the creatures that frolic in yards as we jog by. Or at least I think they do... #morningrun

Pettiquette. Read the room. #dogsky v #catsky

To give honest feedback- you have to have a *safe* space in which to deliver or receive the information #worklife

Clinic Mom: I need a note for my kid to go back to school Me: Your child has a cold, no #RSV testing is needed Mom: what? Me: RSV has always been around Mom: ? Me: RSV causes colds. It isn't covid. I'll write a letter to your school : Not every boogery nose needs a test Kid: GOOD! #pediatrics

#Teen #Parent Milestone If you have an ultra sensitive document and/or need a way to secure information from prying adolescent eyes, there may be a generational divide that plays to your parental advantage…

‘Tis the season-again-for #RSV Thought I’d present a visual course of how the illness unfolds in younger kids. For adults and big kids? It means a bad head cold. #graphicmedicine

The late #autumn farm share: not so exciting as earlier in the season.

Very thrilled to be a part of a great team effort- Paige Church, Amy Rule, David Frumberg , Ashley Volion, Michael Msall, and Peter Rosenbaum & I ponder how ideas of “normal” in #pediatrics have shaped the ways children w impairments are understood and supported. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Diagnosis: maladaptive multitasking. #parentsky

Sometimes in pediatrics, the committee chairs of the future declare themselves even at a very young age... #pedsky

Ah, the Sisyphian journey of leafraking. I have never doubted that the trees conspire against us. #Autumn.

Watchdog. Ours is not such a specimen in the security department, but rather a wonderfully ridiculous sideshow that's fun to watch. #dogsky

The best days in #medicine, are like this. The best teachers (and inspiration) we have, are our patients and families. #graphicmedicine #pedsky

Spot the future manager? #kidsky

“Followup with PCP” is a plan too casually and too often given to a patient post ER visit. Some of these visits are warranted, some not. We can at least make the best of these visits to reinforce teaching, or to calm a worried mind about when (&where) to be seen next time. #pedsky #graphicmedicine

Would it not be better if food ingredient labels where engineered to communicate how kids would feel and act after ingesting said food? Sometimes, you feel what you eat. #pedsky #graphicmedicine

A study published today confirms/disproves that 1 cup/glass/bar of coffee/wine/chocolate does/doesn’t cause/prevent cancer/heart disease/depression.

Speculation. Will more #AI in healthcare open up the system to fraudulent practices and billing? #medsky #graphicmedicine

And still: if screen shots were made of all the cats who crash our #Zoom meetings…they might look like this.

#Teen #parent milestone Alert! Your witty irony may not be the roasting you imagine it to be. Who wins that round? Don’t keep score!

We beat the sun to the riverbank (did you hear the horned owl, sound up!); and enjoyed it’s arrival and the glow up that followed #morningwalk

If you don't document it, it doesn't happen #medsky

“Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.” ― Mark Twain #postelectiondaythoughts

in #medicine, problem solving approaches can be deceptively reductive, undercounting the issues that happen in the other compartments of patients’ lives. We have to look at the whole landscape to understand how to most help. #graphicmedicine

Autumn humor...

Derm diagnosis of the month in kids: A red, stinging circumoral rash that is only momentarily relieved by wetting with the tongue, but leads to ever increasing inflammation and irritation. Can be treated w/ chapstick, and distraction. #pedsky #dermsky

Does your cat like to go outside? #catsky

As wise ones have pointed out, the electronic medical record has transformed the clinical visit from dyad encounter to a trio...BUT as #AI becomes more adept, will the MD become a third wheel? #graphicmedicine

Too often, this is the patient experience with US healthcare. #medsky #graphicmedicine

It will take more than simply cutting & pasting #AI powered behavioral health solutions into primary care to address the ongoing levels of demand. #medsky #graphicmedicine

In #healthcare, we must continue to find ways to reduce clinicians’ Work Outside of Work. Innovative ways are a good start…#graphicmedicine
