Just finished an overnight shift in the peds emergency department.

Whatever you are imagining when you hear the news about RSV, and increased viral illnesses, and high pediatric volumes…it’s 1000 times worse.

Have to cancel @YouTubeTV
We pay to have three streaming lines but son’s account at college won’t work and @YouTubeTV says our only option is to fly him home to have his phone connect to our WiFi. 🙄
What service should we switch to? Major TV use is for sports.

And this is the help chat….

I have two drive-up orders that we tried to pick up today. Staff said the system was down & they couldn’t give us the things we ordered. Told us to come back later. Now they are listed in the app as picked up! Took my money and I have none of the items I need & paid for.

[Target @Target]

Valued guests,
We're aware of intermittent issues with our digital experience and a fix is underway. In the meantime, our stores continue to be open and ready for holiday shopping. At Target, our top priority is offering a great guest experience. We apologize for this disruption and will provide an update as soon as possible.

Does this mean there are >99 people in line in front of me @Target ? 😬

[Senator Heidi Campbell @Campbell4TN]

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.

Looking ahead to 2025...

The PECARN HEADACHE study has completed enrollment & is moving to data analysis.

This trial will provide evidence to accurately identify which children w/ headaches need emergent #neuroimaging & those who don't (because red flag findings don’t work!)

Choose a different airline than @united They randomly decide to pull checked bags off flight. Doesn’t matter how early arrived at airport or if bag is priority & they don’t alert you & have 1 staff member to deal with the fallout of masses with no bags. 0/10 do NOT recommend

[Sage Myers, MD MSCE myerss@med-mastodon @Redsoxma]

Insurance decision-makers need to be closer to the true impacts of their policies. What PA is facing, as children become severely ill due to lack of access to a common and necessary medication, is the perfect example of what happens when they aren’t.

Got a little dust in my eyes here.

“You’re the savior of the people, you bring tears to my eyes.”
“No no, you saved Europe.”
“My hero.”
“No, you are our hero.”
“I pray for you.”

Heartbreaking between @ZelenskyyUa & a #DDay veteran, who knows the cost. He kisses his hand & won’t let go.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

From the trenches of the children’s ER:

EVERYONE has RSV
Wait times can be LONG
We are doing everything we can to care for everyone
Wash your hands
Wear a mask if you’re sick
Don’t be around infants with a cold (even just a little “tickle”) - our mild cold is a baby’s ICU visit

Children in high-risk neighborhoods are almost 50% less likely to survive with a good neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest. We present this devastating data as an oral presentation tomorrow at #AHA23. Come join me for the discussion. We must do more.

Hours before a U.S. Army Reservist with severe mental health issues opened fire on a youth event at a bowling alley, the US Senate approved an amendment decreasing our ability to keep the US safe from this exact horror

Please vote these people out
