@CodyGathersMD I’ll give you top 3, but not sure about top…

Fresh blog: "ARDS" is not a real thing 😢

🫁 "ARDS" is a messy, heterogeneous, artificial syndrome. It doesn't correspond to any disease or pathology.

🫁 Confusing "ARDS" with a real disease leads to poor clinical management & flawed research studies.

This will be my 55th Opening Day in Pro Ball. I still love the beginning of every season. Hope springs eternal. Our Sox emerged as healthy as they’ve been in a long time. Pedro and his staff ran a great camp. I’m excited to watch what should be a fine offense. Go get ‘em boys

We are starting #SCCM2023 with a talk from the new SCCM President and CHOP's very own, @VinayMNadkarni. Congrats Vinay!

I love that the rest of the world now gets to hear Nadir's thought process. It certainly has aided my development. And I'm also pretty sure he designed the next 5 studies for mechanical ventilation in pediatric respiratory failure in this 40-minute episode. Must listen! #PedsICU

Onward. #GoIrish

@maryam_naim @HeartCare4Kids @PCICS2 Virginia is the best!!

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

I feel this editorial deep in my bones

Berlin definition of ARDS is flimsy

perpetual re-definition only worsens confusion

arguing about the definition is silly b/c it's not a single pathology

dangerous: folks diagnose ARDS, then stop looking further (fail to look for cause)

Twitter is done. I'll now be posting my videos in EPIC secure chat.

We are VERY excited to start #PedsICU fellowship interviews this week! Applicants, what questions do you have about our fellowship program or life in Philadelphia?

@nelsonSpinto @RobertCTasker @NUFeinbergMed @LuriePICU @LurieChildrens Congrats Nelson!!! 🥳

@jaymehtamd @moleskine @remarkablepaper @rattasupernote The @remarkablepaper is spreading like wildfire through the @ChildrensPhila PICU. It writes just like paper and I’ve been impressed with the instant syncing across devices (tablet, phone, computer, etc.). I know a lot of people who use the pdf exporter and love it

[Dan Balcarcel, MD @danbalcarcel]

@CHOP_CCMFellows For the record, I was not sleeping! Just taking in all of Jimmy’s wisdom!

The “Chicago” pizza conversation on here yesterday inspired me to go get some actual Chicago pizza.

First year @PEMatCHOP fellow, Chris Miller, gives an excellent case conference on bronchiolitis at our monthly combined EM-CCM case conference. Great job, Chris!
