pediatrician fond of birds and horses/obstinate, headstrong girl

Typical clinic day now includes a 2-year-old who only has 5 words, an 8-year-old with new-onset obesity, and a preschool-age child with no social skills from being home bound. A disastrous avalanche of child health probs of our own making—not “from the pandemic.” @AmerAcadPeds

@NorthCountry617 My dad was an oncologist but kept amoxicillin in the fridge because apparently he was a part time pediatrician 🫠

No matter your age, it’s good to try to avoid antibiotics unless you really need them. Every day you take them messes you up a little more, in about a hundred different ways.

Horses are magic ✨
Before I had kids, I used to volunteer for a therapeutic riding program. Currently have accumulated too much other volunteer work, but would love to get back to it someday 🐴

This about sums up my thoughts about the midterms 🫠

[Being Libertarian @beinlibertarian]

Shout out to all the Republicans who didn’t pay gay escorts and the Democrats who didn’t marry their brother.

I know the struggle is real for yall.

@hnault613 I’m sorry. I have a cousin who became an alcoholic during Covid and came close to being one of the deaths of despair.

[elizabeth bennett @ebennett74]

Probably a fair few deaths of despair in there.

[Mazda Sabouri @msabouri]

The ~1.1 million Covid deaths America had from 2020-2022 were very real, and every one of those lives mattered.

But those deaths could not have accounted for even half the ~1.4 million excess deaths we had from 2020-2025.

Academia has no interest whatsoever in figuring out why.

@sometherapist It’s a pretty great travel agent.

These are good and needed initiatives.

@benryanwriter Hmmm, sounds like a great question for the Cochrane Database, which finds no evidence for community masking preventing colds and flu. 🧐

[elizabeth bennett @ebennett74]

@DMdraws @babydocwhit Haha I guess the post was somewhat confusing!

[elizabeth bennett @ebennett74]

I guess I will be quitting my job because apparently I can’t leave Mr. Darcy unsupervised. Came home from evening clinic last night to this 😳

[elizabeth bennett @ebennett74]

@sharonacross @niakatza He is, clandestine pet-adopting and all 🙃

[elizabeth bennett @ebennett74]

@niakatza Mr. Darcy went to the shelter! Behind my back 🤨

[elizabeth bennett @ebennett74]

@babydocwhit 🤣🤣🤣

[elizabeth bennett @ebennett74]

@fkaFlash Reasonable guess—would be a great cat name.
