Thank you @atscommunity.bsky.social 🙏

Dog days of summer

Promises made, promises kept. Thank you, Governor Healey. 🙏

Claiming that routine immunization requirements for school are an issue of parental rights dehumanizes children. Kids have intrinsic rights just as anyone, and parents are obligated to provide the best care possible for them. That includes providing them with indicated medical interventions.

In honor of #SickleCellAwareness Month, I want to highlight this paper in JAMA Peds: the faster children w/acute SCD pain receive opioids in the ED, the more likely they are to be discharged home. Dose 1 in <1 hr + dose 2 <30 min later = ~40% lower odds of admission! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Moving on from Denial towards Acceptance

Does anyone here have contacts at NCQA or HEDIS? My asthma population health-self would like to have a word.

Irony: an article about the drawbacks of publication in medical journals is... buried behind a paywall. It's stupid the way journals paywall editorials. My guess is that opening up free access to editorials would, if anything, *increase* interest in the journal and increase subscribers.

On an anniversary trip w the hubs and we just realized that the memorable 5 year old who hung out with us in the pool on our honeymoon trip is a 30 year old man

Here’s a good reminder of what we all left behind at the place that shall not be named

A glimmer of sunshine ☀️

Fewer children are vaccinated these days but this wasn’t always the case. Between 2000-2019, vaccine uptake doubled in study of 6.7 million children & was accompanied by 46.6% (!!!) decrease in antibiotic prescriptions! Less business for pediatricians but we love to see it. #VaccinesAreAmazing

Happy Gotchya Day, Sweetest Boy. ❤️ #rescuepup

Proud of my neighbors

Now I understand why he wanted to defind PBS youtube.com/shorts/vrruy...

I’m this old (THIS is what the lump of frozen juice concentrate went into)

There are a lot of people who voted for him because of the way he talks

Someday I’ll have the confidence of this guy.

This can’t be real #makeitstop

I think I want to start bringing black paper accordian blackout shades to all future AirBnB’s. #brilliant

Escaping briefly from [waves arms furiously] The wedding episode of The Bear. (!) My ❤️ is full.

For the life of me I don’t understand going to the effort - time, money, everything - of running for Congress, winning, and then just rolling over. It makes no sense.

Lisa Murkowski and John Thune deserve this. Trying to exempt Alaska from odious parts of this bill to buy her vote is overruled by parliamentarian. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

I cannot believe how easily distracted we are. Between ICE, state legislators who were murdered, Iran, and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Bill - all we can talk about is the guy who won a *primary* for a race for mayor. It’s an embarrassment.

If you live in a state with republican senators- now is the time to call them to ask they vote no. Now or never www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Just found out 16 corrects her friends if she sees them using their inhalers without a spacer #proudpulmonologistmama Btw there are no gifs with inhalers and spacers 😠

A MUST read. @terrilaguna.bsky.social this made me think of you.

Excited to share these findings - early intervention for preschool depression can have long term impact. @jaacapjournals.bsky.social medicine.washu.edu/news/early-i...

I’ve been wearing black scrubs for 5 years now and I needed a change. How are we feeling about the hot pink?

This is amazing!

That feeling when the NICU charge nurse says “I’m so happy to see you.” #winning #validation #PedsPulm 🫁

So, #MedSky - what will this NIH Public Access policy mean for 1) for-profit journals and 2) Open Access fees??

Binge rewatching ER. So many little intentional details making me both chuckle and cringe, like the attending buying herself a cup of coffee, leaving the intern to buy herself her own coffee. I remember how I felt when this happened to me… 🙄

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Friday afternoon. #diastole

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Amazing 🧵

On the bright side, I got to hug the mom of a patient I’ve been following since first grade at her HS graduation tonight, and I can’t think of a better reason to do #PedsPulm. 🫁❤️☺️

I ❤️ my Commonwealth

Omg Puppy Yoga ❤️

We’re doing Puppy Yoga this weekend w 19 and 16 and I couldn’t be more excited

Just curious how Fox is covering this?

That feeling when your patient’s mom is so excited to give you the rice and beans she cooked for you because you mentioned once in clinic how much you love them ❤️❤️❤️ (It was all still warm!!)

I miss the old #MedTwitter. 😔
