A Top Louisiana children's heart doctor tells WDSU he is leaving the state because of anti-LGBTQ+ bills @WDSU

[David Begnaud @DavidBegnaud]

Urging my senators @senbillcassidy @SenJohnKennedy to renew the #SpecialDiabetesProgram! As a type one diabetic and a pediatrician, the research funded by SDP has not only changed my life but so many of my patients lives as well @JDRF

Does anyone feel like their residency program has a good coverage system? I’ve yet to meet a resident who’s had a positive experience 🙃

The average 18 year old can get a firearm faster than an appointment with a psychiatrist.

This is a horrific, unchecked problem.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

You can never ban abortion, you can only ban safe abortions. Read that again.

[Emily Porter, M.D. @dremilyportermd]

If you don’t know a handful of women who’ve had an abortion, you’re not morally righteous or statistically anomalous; you’re just not the kind of person women trust with their secrets.

With recent news about masking on public transit and no update on when a COVID vaccine will be available for children under 5, families are understandably frustrated and concerned. Our take on protecting those too young to be immunized right now: 🧵

It felt really good to be able to provide a single mom with accessible healthcare resources today at her son’s well child visit 💫💚 Thank you @TulPeds and LSU Peds for creating https://t.co/iqVMUgH6Jl for our patients!

"It is a mistake to assume that a nonsensible opponent necessarily suffers from some diagnosable psychopathology. Autocratic rulers like Putin ... have incentives so different from those of an ordinary person as to warp their 'rational' goals." https://t.co/yl5G2AQFIf

1/ This is the calm before another #COVID storm in the U.S., which will be worse than it should be due to short-term and hopeful thinking. The #BA.2 cycle has already started here and will be in full bloom in ~2-3 weeks with a much bigger surge than anyone saw coming.🧵

"Pediatricians are so much more than doctors. You're healers, teachers, counselors. You're lifelines for parents.” @FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden joined #AAPAdvocacy Conference to share a message about the powerful role pediatricians play in their patients' lives. https://t.co/LkfkEj98q4
