@SpineNeuro I work at a Peds hospital and I do LPs at the bedside (either myself or supervising a resident) if not done in the ER prior to admission. The only ones we have IR do is for body habitus or multiple attempts have been unsuccessful (this most commonly happens on infants)

@themostro @PabloArcadia Cierto. Yo nunca respondo pero no me pude aguantar.

Analysis from a retired FBI firearms instructor.

This is the most neutral summary I’ve seen of the Minnesota murder by ICE. It has ALL angles, it syncs them together, and shows the lead up and aftermath… if you watch this all and still think those shots were justified - you just might be a psychopath.

And why we do lumbar punctures on any newborn with a fever and on a lot of infants under two months of age that present with a fever.

If your baby is under two months old and has a fever of 100.4F or more, please go to the nearest pediatric ER for further evaluation

@ThemeParkExpres Nice! I’m got in for Friday!

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

@wallin_ballin I don’t have that exact model but I wear On clouds for the parks and work and those are the most comfortable shoes ever. My feet survive 12 hour shifts and 15-20k steps at the parks on them! They are so worth the hype.

@lumaenergypr 28 horas sin servicio, le llega la luz a mitad de mi urbanización y no a mi calle. Es en Terrazas de Cupey. Que ineptitud. No se ve a nadie trabajando en mi área. A la verdad que son unos incompetentes.

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

@jtrebach I guess I’m #2. I can stand on my On clouds for hours after trying different brands.

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

@ThemeParkExpres Well, now you have a light blue towel. 😂

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

@wallin_ballin This makes me so excited and one of the reasons why I ended up buying another preview ticket for a different day. To take advantage of these wait times before opening. I’ll be heading there on Wednesday for the first time!

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

@wallin_ballin This makes me very excited when I go on the 26th!

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

@Blueeyes763 @nglwithkylie Yeah. Building an immune system from something like a cold sore can turn into HSV encephalitis and permanently harm your baby or even kill them.

And yes, it can spread from a simple kiss.

I’m thankful there are people who are willing to go into peds heme/onc because I can’t do this on a regular basis.

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

Telling the parents of an infant that their child has a tumor and it’s very likely cancer, has been one of the toughest things I’ve had to face yet in my year and half as an attending pediatric Hospitalist. 😭

@UniversalORL I’m here ready to throw some beads tonight!

[Cristina, MD, MS, FAAP @cristygen]

@ThemeParkExpres @UniversalORL I started with the Pinchos from Puerto Rico. It was so good! Tasted like I had just bought it off a street vendor back in Puerto Rico.
