What a great, impactful lecture @jakekleinmahon gave yesterday at #ALAAPSpring2023 on #HealthEquity. “Someone is always listening. Your actions and inactions are watched”. We can always do better and encourage others to as well. @Alchapaap #tweetiatrician #AwesomeSuit

Always entertaining to hear @chiphart talks about practice management issues (today’s was “Do I Work with the Wrong Person”). #ALAAPSpring2023

I'm a pediatrician so there's some basic stuff I know.

What's NOT bad for kids?
Rainbow clothes
Spacious swimsuit bottoms
Stories & poems
Learning the history of your country
Gender affirming healthcare

What IS bad for kids?
School shootings
Teaching them to hate

Easy peasy!

There are so many possible causes of difficulty breastfeeding, this is just different ways a baby may have trouble breastfeeding. What a fantastic talk by Dr. MILK founder on evaluation and treatment of slow growing breastfed infants at #ALAAPSpring2023

The @AmerAcadPeds couldn’t function if it weren’t for the hard work of the admin and exec directors and that is especially true for the @Alchapaap bc our exec dir. Linda Lee is AMAZING #ALAAPSpring2023 #tweetiatrician

A book is more than just a bok. A book becomes you, a part of you. Reading together is not just about literacy but more importantly, about attachment (and relationship building). @MarshaDRaulerso @ReachOutReadAL #ALAAPSpring2023

[Kym Middleton, MD FAAP @kym_md]

“The 1st 5 years have so much to do with how the next 80 will turn out.” @MarshaDRaulerso speaking of the importance of early childhood literacy and early relational health with @ReachOutReadAL at #ALAAPSpring2023 #tweetiatrician

This is unacceptable. Childhood deaths due to guns doubled from 2019 to 2021 and is THE leading cause of deaths in children in the US. We need to do better. For them. #EndGunViolence #ALAAPSpring2023 #tweetiatrician

This is a sad and scary truth due to so many complications and morbidities associated with obesity. Thanks @TylerMcDonaldMD for a great talk on Obesity and Ortho Conditions, covering more than just ortho. #ALAAPSpring2023 #tweetiatrician
