Academic conferences are so funny like “yeah honey, you can have a slumber party with all your friends, just make sure you get your homework done at the airport first.”

Dear Non-allergist,

STOP ordering IgE food tests. Yes, I'm looking at you. Don't order a test that you don't manage. Our tests are very very dependent and context 100% matters in what we do. We are not in the business of creating artifact or selling fear.

Sincerely,
Allergist

Her: "Why haven't you left for L.A. yet?"
Me: "Huh? Oh. Yeah. I'm pretty much almost done. It's okay."

*silence*

Her: "But, like is it?"
Me: *sighs* "Me rushing there won't change anything."
Her: "Depends on who you ask."

And after that, we both went back to charting.

Should you share your #qualitative research with participants?
Here's my take, and why I recommend calling this practice "member reflections" rather than "member checks."
Many researchers believe that participant correspondence with findings is a sign of rigor, HOWEVER...

Women comes to the office. She is 44 years old. Regular menstrual periods. She has burning with urination, urinary urgency & frequency. Happens every month around the time of her period, lasts 1-2 weeks. All urine cultures are negative. Vulvar exam is normal. What do you do?

[Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles]

Are you better off being taken care of by an MD or DO?

@jbcarmody & I had the honor to discuss the recent @AnnalsofIM paper that found no differences in 30-day mortality,🏥 readmissions, LOS, or health care costs between MD and DO's...

Take a moment to call an old friend—research says they will appreciate it more than you think.

The ACGME just released new program requirements for pediatrics - some of which may significantly change the way we train future pediatricians.

So who wins - and who loses - under the new requirements?

You guessed it - it’s time to break it down, Winners & Losers™️ style.

2 yrs ago today,

my daughter had open heart surgery.

She was 5.

As a paediatrician, I felt helpless

As a mum, I was terrified.

One thing happened that day, one thing the anaesthetic team did that I will never forget... 👇🧵

My daughter had open heart surgery.

She was 5.

The care was fantastic

but one small thing left her traumatised.

This is it... 👇🧵

One of my objectives in 2023 is to learn R. Does anyone know of a course or a book for beginner-beginners?

[Katie Summers ✨ @katiessummerss]

My baby had us thinking she needed to go to the hospital last night. Absolutely inconsolable for over an hour. Screaming so hard she was coughing and losing her voice. We did everything we could think of. We thought she had broken something & we were panicking.

Then she farted.

If you really like and enjoy your parents and want to be around them as an adult, what did they do when you were a kid/what do they do now to make that the case?

[Ashley Winter MD || Urologist @AshleyGWinter]

A few different pediatricians have now seen our daughter in the hospital & my husband just exclaimed, "are all pediatricians adorable or something?!" And I had to explain to him that yes, in fact, all pediatricians ARE adorable.

Lactation in academia for those who don’t know…
1. Most women who are exclusively breastfeeding need to pump every 3-4hrs
2. If we miss a pump session or delay it, we get engorgement. Basically the milk backs up into the breast and we can start leaking it’s quite painful.
