When talking to teens, I complete my HEADS screening with a strength-based approach, which I learned as a med student from Dr. Ginsburg at CHOP. My opening question: "what is something about yourself you're proud of?"

How do you respond if a teen says "I don't know"?

All I’m asking is if you know I work in the medical field, please do not assume I’m a nurse #itis2023

Kanye threatened the Jews yesterday on twitter and it’s not even trending. Why do mostly only Jews speak up against Jewish hate? The silence is so loud

Can we talk about how Impossible Burgers aren’t actually for vegetarians but are replacing all my black bean/quinoa options?? #bringbacktheveggieburger

A 10-year-old girl is raped. The State forces her to remain pregnant and tells her to consider it an “opportunity.”

This isn’t Iran. This isn’t Gilead. This isn’t hypothetical.

This happened today in Ohio.

PSA: Vegetables are not a suitable entree for vegetarians at weddings. Please provide a carb or protein option so we aren’t starving until the cake is served. Thank you! #vegetarian #vegetarianproblems

Worst part of being a doctor, imho:

Sometimes knowing with awful certainty what is coming, and being powerless to stop it.

#MatchDay2022 advice: 1. Open your envelope/email in private- take a min to process 2. Don’t ask people if they got their top choice 3. If you don’t match in your top program(s), it is in no way a reflection of how hard you have worked or all that you have achieved.

If you weren't advocating for the pediatric flu vaccine prior to or during this pandemic, then I don't want to hear your view on how COVID is like flu in kids.

Kids can die from flu. 80% of pediatric flu deaths occur in the unvaccinated. We encourage vaccination to prevent that.

Being a pediatrician working this month in the adult ED:

Heparin in a drip, drip, drip, so you'll never clot, whoa
Heparin in a drip, drip, drip or a low-weight shot, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your patient, your patient's older
Got a DVT in their frozen shoulder
If it breaks off and decides to embolize
They won't thrive

Did you know @PedsatDellMed residents produced a podcast exploring race, racism & #HealthEquity in pediatrics? Topics range from how to talk about race with patients to structural racism in asthma & more.

Today I got to snuggle a chunky squishy baby while he cooed and giggled as his older sister strutted around like a diva in her oh so fabulous outfit and I’m sorry but this is why my job is better than yours.

If you think being forced to wear a mask is bad, imagine being forced to have a baby.
