#putkids1st#call your pediatrician I have been thinking hard about the continued value of this platform as increasingly hateful content has corrupted a fairly well -monitored site.
@greenhousemd Totally understand. Tried to( very briefly) manage a 3 month old with preseptal cellulitis as an outpatient. It didn’t work out. The child is fine, but we’re forced to make decisions against best practices.
Despite the past 3 crazy years,
Despite the current surges in so many childhood illnesses,
Despite the shortages of so many medications,
Being a pediatrician is the best job on the planet
And I am grateful.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! #Thanksgiving2022

@thepedipals How about this? I’ve been seeing up to 40 patients daily AND answering all messages before I go home. Well visits not requiring vaccines have been moved to 2023 to accommodate the torrent of sick kids.
@greenhousemd Remarkable contrasts between Columbia, SC, and Columbia, MD, where I live…”The safest city in America,” still has the same concerns you do.
#putkids1st I’m father,Grandpa, and Pediatrician. My politics:wholly about the world we are creating and bequeathing for children.America of the People prevailed in this mid-term election. I look forward to thoughtful dialogue that will be the substrate of democracy for our kids
Flu is more dangerous than the common cold for children and can lead to serious health conditions like pneumonia or bacterial infections. But parents and childcare providers can help prevent and slow the spread! Here’s how: https://t.co/x0xDRnvJ6v
“As we navigate the next few months, pediatricians will do what we’ve always done: We will show up for our patients and their families." @AAPPres Dr. Moira Szilagyi in a @CNN op-ed on the increase in respiratory viruses like RSV. https://t.co/soRgieV2dw

Children's hospitals are rapidly filling up as they face an increase of cases of RSV and other respiratory viruses. #CallYourPediatrician with questions or concerns and get your child vaccinated for flu and COVID to help prevent severe symptoms. https://t.co/hkHp8PTyif
Kids should be safe where they live, learn and play. We mourn with St. Louis after yesterday's school shooting and will continue to work to prevent gun violence. If you're struggling with ways to talk about tragic events, AAP's parent website @healthychildren shares helpful tips.
As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.
