Where would I be without my cup of #morningcoffee?

Before you make fun Please be sure That there may be a practical side To that doggy couture! #dogsky

Got a picky eater? Remember, confrontations and anger don’t help the issue. Persistently offer little tries of new/healthy stuff, paired with familiar fave foods. AND, don’t forget to reward good efforts…that’s where behavior change really takes off. #pedsky #graphicmedicine

#Teen #parent milestone Anticipate and counsel against sketchy fitness products - esp if you are making dinner

#Pediatric field notes Take note when a child covets your stethoscope And think twice about turning your back on said kid #graphicmedicine

More please. This helps the dark times. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/09/a...

Gave the clinic’s Daily Riddle board’s blankness a new entry. #graphicmedicine #graffiti.

#Coldseason Lingo: #Fomites: any substrate that can carry infectious material such as viruses or bacteria that is capable of transmitting them between individuals, such as clothing, hair, bedding, and surfaces. Got hands? Wash 'em! #Graphicmedicine

The local roosters are chonky

The humiliation of being recognized as a non-Apex predator #dogsky

Good question: why do meds taste so bad? #pedsky #graphicmedicine

Always remember and never forget… Kids love to know how tall they are, and it is a great chance To offer some pointers around good nutrition… Why waste the moment? #pedsky #graphicmedicine

Sometimes in medicine you really really should not make it about you #medsky #graphicmedicine

#Teen #parent milestone A crisis of convenience need not be your emergency

The tough winter lessons of being a dog.

That other award, less prestigious per some...

The Ear exam. #Kids’ ears are another set of pockets, in which they intentionally or inadvertently keep all sorts of stuff: Bugs Beads, Jewelry,bits of food, etc. Getting it out is more than half the fun, their expression at the reveal makes up the rest. #pediatrics #graphicmedicine

Providers beware: Lest we succumb to our biases, or that we rely overmuch on our subjective clues, or that we fail to listen and not second guess patients when they describe pain...we must NOT jump to conclusions out of our own certainty w/o considering add'l data. #graphicmedicine #medsky

In 15 years, when veterans look back on this time of the practice of medicine what will stand out, and what will we make of this time in our #HealthIT history? #medsky #graphicmedicine

Clinic. Me: Hey, how do you get to school? Do you drive? 4: No! Mommy takes me. Me: Oh, sure. She drives. The bus. 4: What?(pure delight)No, Mommy doesn't drive the bus! Me: So: Helicopter. You go by air. 4: Mommy, can we get a helicopter Me: Oops. Sorry 'bout that #Pediatrics

A younger generation on a warming planet faces #winter

As #AI continues as integration into healthcare, it will be interesting to see how first generation devices train their successor. And new trainees. #graphicmedicine

When you least expect it, expect it. #catsky

Enough with the ad gimmickry on the web of adverts doing some false apology for a suddenly sweeter (baited/switched?) bargain. If we’re not careful, #AI powered clinicians may machine learn this into their practice! #graphicmedicine

Can you spot the doctor's kid? Imitation as the sincerest form of reality... #medsky #graphicmedicine

#Gastroenteritis in kids: sign the condition changes from guarded to awesome. #pedsky #graphicmedicine

Mnemonics are a key tool in medicine to remember the picayune details of anatomy. Here is but one version of one way to remember the 12 Cranial Nerves. So Med Heads, which is your particular favorite? #meded #graphicmedicine

Med school. 3rd year look back. I recall during that transformational year seeing things and working w tools I had never encountered before-- It made daily life between shifts a bit of a head trip. #meded #graphicmedicine

Cold start #morningrun

When working at a population, how will patients work with (or take advantage of) #AI powered PCPs? Kids will lead the way on that front, you can be sure! #Pedsky #graphicmedicine

Happily for the leaders of safety and infection control in healthcare settings, handwashing has become a lot more accessible, and even enjoyable (maybe too enjoyable?) Got hands? Wash 'em! #medsky

Seems a bunch of arrows passed by here moving at high speed

Ever need to get some vaccines before traveling? The CDC knows there are different disease risks in different countries. Trying to be Denmark doesn’t help Americans, unless we can adopt their healthcare coverage and parental leave programs.

#Pediatrics: On call flash card #pedsky

#Toddlers can have a way of brutally asserting their evolving sense of selfhood....this is what I think it would sound like if they could fully articulate what they are feeling. #pedsky #graphicmedicine

As in the workplace: Performing one’s ablutions may benefit from more attention vs a more efficient approach. #worklife

Doggerel. If we went on a walk And the dog could talk What would we see When he stopped to pee? Quipping turkey poop=nutrition? No, more likely micturition. See hydrant. Pee Talk a walk, QED. #dogsky

#WinterStormWarning New England style.

We plopped a new cat bed on the kitchen counter offhandedly 12+ years ago, and Mr Lynx STILL sleeps there every night. From there, he will CONQUER the world. One day. #catsky

A contemplation on the many and evolving words/phrases that have evolved from the term “Brother”…where will it lead us? #Doodles.

Announcing one of the greatest finds in modern medical archeology... #medsky #graphicmedicine

Reflection on being a third year med student/#MedSchool: It is a cool, odd itinerant existence, whereby the calendar drops you into a different specialty, that feels very much like a foreign land, w/ local culture and rules. Your job? Assimilate ASAP, and don’t blow it. #meded #graphicmedicine

Happy #NationalBirdDay From our house of bird nerds to yours....!

#Teen #parent milestone We urge you to expect melodramatic hyperbole to bolster a case to purchase a new item…best neutralized with teflon brevity

The deli has much to teach us about #life, including the importance of others going in their turn. Don’t be this guy. #BeKind

In primary care, screen and ye shall find. What then? #graphicmedicine

Once again, the nightly pop up play date ends the same way… #dogsky v #catsky

Nothing like those family table games! #gamenight

Is there such thing as artisanal pharmacology? #medsky

Caring for #Children— as parents, family members, neighbors, educators, or #pediatricians, say—is a huge responsibility with lifelong impacts. Maybe its better most kids don’t realize this. Let’s do right by them, shall we? #pedsky #graphicmedicine
