I forgot how annoying it is to walk in clogs

It's okay to primordial scream if you need to

Never EVER take a baby to a chiropractor. Pediatrician ✅ Pediatric physical therapist ✅ Chiropractor ❌

I've never done a pull up in my life, but I have to give bad news to parents of sick children almost every day, and that requires strength that Pete and the rest of this administration will never know. This strength knows the real flex is to fund healthcare.

"As fewer children get their flu shots, cases of a rare, severe complication are rising." We don't have to repeat that this fall & winter. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

In clinic all day. What'd I miss?

Signing overdue clinic notes requires sitting for a long time. Sitting for a long time induces a back pain that makes me short of breath and nauseated. Therefore I cannot sign clinic notes. There is no other solution.

That's because ICE is not law enforcement, it's hate enforcement.

It is my professional opinion that my kids are the greatest. Really just some of the best humans you can imagine and I love hanging out with them.

When you try to take a #Caturday photo

Dearest Martha, I write from the front lines of war-torn Portland. Today I fought bravely through a hostile farmers market, narrowly surviving a volley of kombucha bottles. Supplies of pour-over coffee and oat milk run low. Clouds of artisanal incense fill the sky, the drum circles beat incessantly

I mean, I did go to a breakfast place in Portland where the biscuits were deadly

5K with steep hills ✅ Ibuprofen ✅ Carbs ✅ I'd like to train for a 10K just to see if I could do it, but gonna need that course to be flat as a pancake.

5K in the morning. Regret in the afternoon.

Good thing he wasn't carrying a bottle of ketchup

I have scars from falling up an escalator. My knee hurt and bled the whole movie we were rushing to see. I didn't complain. I just dealt with it. Apropos of nothing, of course

Flu and COVID shots x4 ✅ Ready for fall ✅

The irony of the rapture is that those who were right won't be around to say "I told you so" and that's what they're really looking forward to

What time does the rapture start? Don't want to get stuck in rapture hour traffic.

Do you remember

Life in this country is going to get so much worse for many people before/if it gets better, which is really depressing.

Trans and unhoused people have rights, too.

Flu and COVID vaccines scheduled for the whole family. Best thing I've accomplished today.

This right here. This is what all pediatric healthcare workers are feeling right now. Gun violence, anti-vaccine rhetoric, and racist and bigoted propaganda are a sad media piece for most people, but they are bodies for us. We can't just choose to look away.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No. Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

The Trump administration has finally released Ayman Soliman, a beloved former children’s hospital chaplain in the Cincinnati area

Hey at least I'm consistent

Got to see my insides last night. Not perfect, but honestly better than I was expecting.

In the ED (stupid stomach being more stupid than usual) and it's chaos here. Major respect to all y'all who do this every day. 🫶

How tender to palpation is too tender to palpation for an abdominal exam? Uhh... asking for a friend.

Read this as The Prion Next Door. Both are upsetting.

We're all dead. The entire US population. Explains a lot, really.

Between the random hour I was wide awake for no reason and the failing a standardized test stress dream, I woke up more tired than I went to bed

Hello gorgeous 🎃🍞😍🤤

Bad people don't deserve to be murdered, but being murdered does not cleanse their memory

Just a real clusterfuck of a day

Don't watch the video. If you've never watched someone bleed out, you don't want to. Trust me. Thinking of my friends and colleagues in Denver who will be caring for today's school shooting victims. They can't choose not to see the horrors of gun violence. It doesn't have to be this way. 😞

NEW: St. John's College, which recently laid off 5% of its staff amidst declining enrollment + the departure of its president, is sticking with its Great Books curriculum despite a rise in AI. Read my profile of the college as it reaches a reckoning point: www.thebanner.com/education/hi...

Less stigmatizing, but it's also not the brain worm. Plenty of people have neurocysticercosis and they aren't eugenicist cranks. He's just terrible all on his own.

When you remember after rounds that you are covering 2 services this week

Back from vacation Back on service Back to reality Ope, there goes gravity

C'mon Ravens. Let's show everyone how dangerous Baltimore really is.

In the "post-vacation, mountains of work to do, and slightly ill" funk and reading the news is not helping

We forgot to teach him how couches work

This respiratory virus season, Maryland is protecting vaccine access for Marylanders of all ages. Marylanders can continue to access vaccines at provider offices and pharmacies across the state as vaccine supply is available. Learn more: bit.ly/4paI7yi.

There is inherent misogyny here. Pregnancy is a condition of women and other people with uteruses. Guilting pregnant people into using less acetaminophen, one of few safe options, will lead to more pain and suffering of pregnant people. Which is what they want.
