If you can’t find liquid Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil/Motrin (ibuprofen):

1. Many pharmacies are compounding these. Call around.

2. Weigh your child. Use measured & cut portions of chewable or adult versions:
- Tylenol: 15 mg/kg every 4h
- Advil/Motrin: 10 mg/kg every 6h

Excuse me while I cry for all the parents, including lead researcher Dr Carmel Harrington, who lived with guilt. And cry happy tears for parents in the future who will have access to screening and prevention. 😭

BREAKING: The United Nations is now admitting that refugees have faced racism at Ukraine's borders.

It is so very sad that racism is so prevalent in our world that even in war, Black & Brown refugees have faced racism as they try their best just to stay alive. So very sad! 💔

A doctor I know brought tears to my eyes this morning. She said, “I want you to know you’ve changed the way I practice medicine. I don’t question or judge substance use disorder history. I ask, how is recovery going? And can I be a supportive part of your journey? “ 😭😭

Today in casual conversation my staff asked me if my parents were also physicians. Without hesitating I replied, no, my dad’s a taxi driver and my mom works at McDonalds. I’m so proud of them and incredibly grateful. I only wish I had always felt this way.

It’s easier to educate with kindness and understanding.

Healthcare workers, let’s take a lead on the anti-vaccine hate we’re seeing with compassion.

Build trust with your patients, speak publicly about continuing compassion and express everyone has a right to health. Avoid othering people.

Let’s be leaders in this discourse.

Prognosis is generally very good with recovery of facial movement
