@ElaineVigneault @ShawnteJamesMD DB peds here! Can’t tell you how often I get to hear “What is it you guys do again?” from medical and non medical ppl alike vs “it took FOREVER to get in to see you” from new pts. And nothing in between!! 🤷‍♀️

Finally a #developmentalpediatrics intervention our fellow physicians can get behind. Love it, tummy time for all!

We have a peds cardiology fellow (re-deployed) in our #COVID19 ICU.

The fellow called proning “tummy time” on rounds today.

I may never call it proning again.

2018’s Best & Worst States for Children’s Health Care https://t.co/AzWTqecMpO Appalled that a a state with resources like Texas finishes in 49th place. We love our new “home” state for all it has to offer but it’s time to get to work y’all

@DrGRuralMD Need to find something remotely as gratifying in developmental clinic. Somehow I imagine cerumen or any other disimpaction won’t go over well with our autistic toddlers. Sigh.

We did it with your help! #rideforareason what an emotional ride and well worth it. But 😢 to be reminded by a mother who knows firsthand the heartbreak of burying her child that pediatric cancer research is usually underfunded #everychilddeservesachance https://t.co/4sS78al3rR

Excited for my first #rideforareason just debating whether to have a healthy breakfast or Krispy Kreme 😜 https://t.co/4sS78al3rR

This Christmas advert has been banned from TV for being too political.

I think what's happening to our rain forests should be banned for being criminal to life on earth.

This needs to be the most viewed Christmas advert ever! Do your best Twitter!

Empowered women empower women.

It is SO important it is to have people in your life that inspire you to stretch - people to look up to and inspire you and help you grow, to remind you that discomfort is necessary and it’s ok.💙

Sadly, these disturbing developments are also often distractions from other outrages being perpetrated (or just now being discovered). Injustices quietly compounding everywhere we look. https://t.co/T7ham7IbQf

[Kelly Motadel, MD, MPH @KellyMotadelMD]

Family separation and repealing health care coverage are just two of the creatures in the current game of "whack a mole" against this administration's many disturbing actions. https://t.co/b1cw8O8EBL
