Pediatrician, terrified startup exec. Stamping out disease and trying to make the world a better place, damnit.

@JPosnanski There you go :). Thanks for making this Halloween a memorable one for the family ❤️

[Ed Chung @Datatrician]

@EugeneFreedman @JPosnanski Our younger one got less candy than the older one. Tough night to be wearing an Astros uniform 😜

[Ed Chung @Datatrician]

Happy Halloween, @JPosnanski. I told my wife you were one of maybe two people in the country who would understand our costume theme for the year (her idea, btw!). Prove me right :)

[Ed Chung @Datatrician]

@jeffgirgenti @JPosnanski Well spotted, sir! You get the prize :)

[Ed Chung @Datatrician]

@robertreidryan @JPosnanski Made the family’s night ❤️

Luckily another passenger volunteered their glucometer. This shouldn’t have to happen. Taking vitals and checking a blood sugar is useful/relevant almost always. Hard to intervene effectively without this data. Thx for your help. #airlinesandairplanes #Medical #AmericanAirlines

Hey @AmericanAir - I was responding to an in-flight medical issue the other day and wanted to ask you to up your game on your med kit. Couple problems myself and the other volunteer ran into: (1/3)

[Ed Chung @Datatrician]

No pulse oximeter, automated BP cuff wouldn’t work (tried on multiple people, even flight attendants say that other medical volunteers have found it useless - just give us a regular cuff), stethoscope is low quality and useless with typical cabin noise, no glucometer (2/3)

With #HurricaneIota forecast to be a whopper, I have to wonder: if we end up having to retire Iota as a hurricane name, much like Ike and Katrina, what happens in the future when we get back to Iota’s place in the Greek alphabet? 🤔

@mtlgazette in your 6/4 story about a Trois-Rivieres school that had a classroom hit hard by COVID-19, I didn’t see any mention if masks were in use in the classrooms. Do you know if they were? This is an important data point.

@Gurukalaburagi I used the 1600 mL bag. That’s the most common one you’ll find out there.

[Ed Chung @Datatrician]

Spent a good chunk of time today at the @EmersonHospital respiratory lab messing around with the Macgyvilator Mk2. It’s putting out 450+ mL of tidal volume and has an I:E of 1:2.7 or so. I think this one’s a winner. #macgyvilator #COVID19 #coronavirus #ventilator

This is what a frustrated, anxious pediatrician does during these stressful times...

When you're constantly surrounded by super smart, highly credentialed, highly accomplished people, it's good to be reminded that sometimes your value to society is seeing the smoke 😂. #nottooseriously #impostersyndrome https://t.co/axO6uQo6w5 https://t.co/1jR4QwdL7k

Yeah - so this came out from the The Wall Street Journal: . While I'm not surprised, I am disappointed. Society is slowly getting wise to the concept of personal-data-in-exchange-for-free-services, but I think this represents somet…https://t.co/9ckf4YKAbU https://t.co/PQkaJF8jzw

@BenHatke We had no opportunity for pictures on Thursday, so we bribed the kids with more Halloween candy to get re-dressed for pics today #zitathespacegirl #mightyjack

Spent several days with Philips last week at TCT 2019 helping to demo some BioBright capabilities. Got great feedback from a number of physicians and confirmation of a couple product hypotheses. A big thank you to Philips for letting us tag along! For tho…https://t.co/tdpYbWaRDU

Enjoying the talks at today’s Voice of Healthcare summit in Boston (despite a little PTSD from being close to Children’s). Great lineup. Ping me if you’d like to meet up and chat! #vohsummit19

I love you, @cambma, but you gotta help this sign out a bit. The census is important! #census #cambma #spellcheck #signfail
