Charlie must have a cool parent who is making wearing a mask fun not only for him but his classmates. Be like Charlie’s parent 😷

[Scott Hadland, MD @DrScottHadland]

Pulling rank as a pediatrician. You can debate me (using science) about kids wearing masks in school, but don’t call it ‘abuse’. 

We folk who work with children & families know how tragic actual child abuse can be. It has a very real meaning, and this ain’t it.

He doesn't want smokers to keep smoking. There are viable cessation options other than e-cigs. For adolescents the opposite seems to be true: that they are far more likely to convert to combustible tobacco in their 20s.

A reminder that absolutely no pediatrician is doing their job for any reason other than a deep and passionate desire to improve the lives of children. I stand with @AmerAcadPeds

Schools “can’t enforce masks” but sure did enforce not letting us wear shorts or spaghetti straps.

Recently, using a “say more about that” approach when someone mentioned they were “doing well-ish” led to a fruitful conversation with resource sharing. It took 5 minutes.

There are ways we can help

I got my #CovidVaccine when there was minimal information about receiving it while pregnant.

Now, it's being jointly recommended by @acog and @MySMFM based on the data gathered. You can protect yourself from severe complications. #WhyIVax

@LifeandPICU I know right!!! This was one of the phrases that would set me off, too.

[Allek Scheele @AllekScheele]

@MaddieMierMD I like to respond to those sayings by asking how many of their colleagues have committed suicide or now have a substance use problem. Sacrificing yourself for your job does not mean you are a better doctor.

While in the hospital and in the days home with my newborn I've binged all of #SchittsCreek and I feel late to the party. But it is 100% my new favorite show.

This article is beautifully written. At one of my lowest points I reached out to a mentor and told them how much I was struggling. They shrugged and said "well this is your job." There is still a ways to go in our field.

"My depression is like a chronic autoimmune disease — constitutively present at a low level with flares. But there’s no Humira for depression."

I am really inspired by whomever wrote this.

My daughter, play building her Queen ant colony this morning, turned around abruptly when I offered a suggestion, “There is no King Ant”.

@MaddieMierMD Computer elves! I love this

[Allek Scheele @AllekScheele]

I'd like to apologize to my office mates who get subjected to all the #murderino talk that occurs when @dfishermd and I are in the same place. Sorry, @EzzioMd for walking in on our "where the bodies where found" discussion.

“Is marijuana addictive?”

This is a question I get all the time as an #addiction doc for #teens. My thoughts… 👨🏻‍⚕️🩺✨

I love my @HDVCHPHMFellows family so much! Thank you for the wonderful surprise baby shower!
