An automated external defibrillator (AED) like the one used on Damar Hamlin is incredibly easy to use.

As an ER doc I compulsively look for an AED whenever I enter a public space.

Here’s a free app with crowdsourced info on publicly accessible AEDs:

On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we reflect on the many recent mass shootings including Uvalde & Buffalo, and we #WearOrange to raise awareness about this public health crisis, which profoundly impacts children and intensifies long-standing racial inequities in America. 🧵

Let me just say, to all of the trans children, youth and adults who read this: I see you. I value you. And pediatricians like me will work to serve you with dignity and love by fighting hateful legislation like this. We love you and will care for you. 🧡

Reminder: AQI sensors focus on smaller particulates such as PM10/PM2.5. Some ash falling is larger than PM10 (width of human hair) & may not be reflected in AQI. Finer particulates remain suspended while larger fall.

Take precautions to protect your lungs such as wearing a mask.

San Diego #COVID19 data:
Past 2 days the highest N of cases for the pandemic
And the highest % positive (7% ; 5%)
Reopening + batch effect noted
Preponderance of infections among the young, consistent with other regions that have reported such data

@LGlaucomflecken Wow, what an incredible story!

“The two lines on my chest reminded me of the years of pain & repression and shame, the uncertainty & doubt. But they were also signs of joy and love and the survival of this body to tell my story.”

Gun violence is a public health threat to children. This National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we #WearOrange to raise awareness of our nation’s gun violence crisis, which reflects and intensifies long-standing racial inequities in America.

As a pediatrician I need to say a word about “the talk.”

It is the conversation Black parents have with Black kids to try and help our children stay safe during their likely future encounter(s) with police.

It is a critical conversation.

And it is devastating.
