In my 10+ years of co-survivorship, doing life with @DGlaucomflecken through 2 separate cancers, 1 SCA and fighting off his death with 10 mins of #CPR, only ONE (1) of the medical professionals we interacted with has ever asked how I was doing. Meet Roger. https://t.co/NR4F2mkcZC
With so much attention on #COVID19 in children, time for an updated #tweetorial on what we do and don't know!
We'll talk impact, risk, hyperinflammation syndrome, transmission, schools and more
Lets go!

1 With the impending #COVID19 pandemic peak in the UK, adult services are going to be hit disproportionately hard. Since paediatricians may be needed to help by looking after older patients, here's a guide to help children's specialists when the time comes to care for an adult.
Awesome work from @gracie_leo. A few other quotes from Andrew McDonald and Raymond Chin:
‘Every staff member is a superhero’. ‘Seek forgiveness rather than ask permission’. ‘Whatever it takes’ and don’t lose sight of our core business which is looking after our patients.
How to use every day work to build community engagement & trust:
Lead well=commit from top, set values & align systems, communicate openly and take a long term view
Good basics=patients first, support staff, teach & live locally to invest back

@AndyDW_ @GongGasGirl We are still struggling - monthly list, over 6 month wait, lots of anxious cranky parents. Weekly list would work much better, keep 1 slot for urgent and I predict requests for urgent GA MRI for inpatients would go down - most will be able to wait a few days for the list
Questions: if six paediatric doctors ingest a lego head, how many of them will find it again?
Yup, we did it. All in the name of science (and @DFTBubbles).
