Wondering whether to brave the #ONStorm to bring your child to the ER?

The most common question I hear in the ER is: "how do I know when to worry if my child has a fever?"

Check out this video on fever, ways to treat it & advice on when to seek care.

Thank you @CAEP_Docs for the @SREMI_MSH grant funding our development of a novel pediatric advocacy curriculum at @SickKidsNews. This grant will allow us ensure that future paediatricians have the tools to advocate for and with vulnerable children and their families. @eUSMD

@LauraStymiest @aliasun closing out the PEM half day with advocacy in PED - moral injury working in the ED - when we know what we should be doing/providing but we can’t bc the system sets us up for failure. One possible antidote = advocacy.

Storytime: For years there was a family of kids who would walk to my library. We knew things were rough at home and we tried to create a safe, validating, fun place for them (like so many others.) There were about 8 cousins, siblings, half-sibs, ages 5 to 16. Then lockdown hit.

We created this video series to help parents learn the signs of dehydration and decide when to seek care in the #ER. See our other videos on fever and work of breathing.

Dehydration can sometimes accompany a child's illness if they are not drinking enough or losing fluids from diarrhea &/or vomiting. But how do you know if a child needs to come to the Emergency Department? SickKids’ Emergency Physician, Dr. Alia Sunderji (@aliasun), shares tips.

[Alia Sunderji @aliasun]

Incredible work @DrCarolynSnider.

Rotating through ER at @UnityHealthTO allowed me the privilege of working w/ many healthcare workers who strive to offer dignity to those suffering from homelessness. Need to invest in gathering data on social needs and their link to ER visits

[Alejandra Bravo @BravoDavenport]

Powerful deputation from @DrCarolynSnider, representing all downtown emergency depts.

In the middle of a healthcare crisis, emergency depts are providing shelter and supports for homelessness because people have nowhere else to go.

We need dedicated 24/7 drop-in spaces, now.

[Alia Sunderji @aliasun]

@HarvardHealth We created this video to address the misperceptions perpetuated in your article that a high fever automatically suggests that people visit the ER. Given overwhelming pediatric ER volumes, addressing this kind of misinformation is important.
