Our residency program's motto is "Driven. Supported." As we approach interview season, I've been reflecting on what that's meant for me as a faculty member @WiscPeds. Read my story below... what does being driven and supported in your work mean to you?
Did you know that diaphragmatic breathing can reduce reflux? Love non pharma intervention options! Presented here at #SAHM23 r/t eating disorders, of which reflux is often a complication esp during refeeding… but I may try it myself after my fave spicy foods!
@DocMcCafferty Sounds like you’re nailing it @DocMcCafferty You’ve successfully built a village and you’re using it— that makes you, your kiddo, and the whole village stronger 💪🏻 ❤️
Most minors who need abortion care involve their parents (and want them involved) if it’s safe and right for them to do so. Forcing it doesn’t repair damaged relationships between youth and their guardians, and judicial bypass has harm. #SAHM23
The AAP’s new center for media use will focus on reframing this narrative. Consider social media use as developmentally appropriate, connection, relieving, and a place where they take risks.
Consider it like driving, it has risks but helps teens get somewhere. #SAHM23
Texted this gem to my oldest. He ❤️s to redirect me when I’m overdoing it. I try to respond w gratitude. We keep each other accountable on being present >> mindless scrolling (alluring to us both!). Further ammo for him😊 Thx #SAHM23@SMAHRTeam for keeping adults honest too.
@WiscPediatrics@TeenDocCody being a boss mama and doc! Integrating work and life while supporting the health of teens and getting in some CME. You inspire! #SAHM23
(Disclaimer: doing CME while still literally in the hospital postpartum not required for boss mama doc status!)
Did you know higher exposure of crops to CO2 decreases the nutrient content of crops? I did not! Climate health is kids’ health. #SAHM23
(Rise in food insecurity attributable to lots of reasons including climate change, COVID pandemic, war in Ukraine, supply chain)
Why is climate health, kids health? See below. For 3 summers the air quality in Seattle was so poor we couldn’t go outside for weeks. Not the reason for our move, but a contributor. #SAHM23
Eating Disorders pro tip: don’t use (or say!) “ideal body weight”. Use estimated treatment goal weight based on prior growth trajectory. Yep, some folx should have weight goals well above the median BMI. #SAHM2023
#SAHM23 keeps getting better… ran into @AllymissLove in the hotel work out room. Providing the best care doe adolescents requires caring for ourselves too, right?!?!
