CHLA was well-represented this Saturday at @PHMConf! Recently graduated fellows @jennsavv presented a SUPER 💥 conundrum and poster 📈, and @Doctora_Natalia had an oral 🎙️presentation! Our PD @NamAhujaMD and other CHLA faculty held a workshop on pediatric heart ❤️conditions.
Thanks to our family, friends, mentors, co-workers, @PHMFellowships and the entire PHM community for sharing another year together at @PHMConf!

I've been thinking about compassion and pediatricians.
There's an idea that pediatricians are "softer" than internal medicine docs because we take care of kids. And kids are cute! Funny! Sticky! 1/
And already the ramifications of this for parents and babies are not good. Families here are incredibly resilient, but their stories of the ways this closure has had an impact — and the choices they’ve had to make— have been heartbreaking
I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
At bedtime the 8 yo told me his teacher said: “Think of your mind like a pond full of fish and each fish is a feeling. Try to be the pond, not the fish.” And all I can say is primary school has significantly improved.
Sha’Carri Richardson: Tests positive for pot (which is not performance enhancing)
•Banned from Olympics
Kamila Valieva: Tests positive for Trimetazidine (which increases blood flow to heart)
•Approved for Olympics
I can’t qwhite put my finger on the difference here🤔
We had such an overwhelming response to our anonymous resident stories, with continued submissions, that we will be sharing one each week throughout our 2022 Negotiations, which continue in a few weeks on Feb 16.

For those still saying omicron is mild, every child admitted to my team this week (except for 1) has had COVID. And each with a totally different presentation, all too young to be vaxxed
