If you’ve never been on a FB Canning page, it’s wild. How I got there? No idea. But the drama!

@GnomeAndFairy It’s an excellent view!

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

Life is feeling like a lot right now. Tell your friends how much they mean to you. Garson, you’ll be missed. You made this world a better place, and I’m lucky to have known you.

@GnomeAndFairy How did she do?

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

We’re looking for an amazing pediatric hospitalist to join or group in Houston!

@LilyCrue @GnomeAndFairy I’m here… occasionally, but with things getting weird with Twitter in addition to figuring out that I was generally happier when I wasn’t endlessly scrolling, I sort of just pop in and out. Not gone. Just ya know… taking a break. But checking on people when I get bored.

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

@GnomeAndFairy This is amazing!!!

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

If only the people I love actually understood what this flag really means. They think it’s supporting law enforcement, who generally have an important role in society when they do their job well and with integrity. So despite multiple attempts at conversations, it still hangs.

I woke up yesterday morning, looked out my window and saw the neighbors had hung this flag on their children’s playground.

Pull up a seat, and join me, friends, for The Chronicles of Being Black in a Rich, White suburb

A thread 💀

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

@kimruehl This is my reminder that when we finally meet, I need to get mine signed.

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

@BookshopLeslie @GnomeAndFairy Yes. That’s basically it.

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

@c_diazepine Yes. This is amazing. Muffin is amazing.

[Lauren Gambill, MD MPA (she/her) @renkate]

It has been a minute since I’ve given away a copy of my book… Who wants one??

Any med students getting ready to start clinical rotations?? New pediatric interns? Raise your hand and I’ll choose someone randomly 📖

@GnomeAndFairy All I hear is code names for lady parts. As long as the branding has a subtle vagina, either are acceptable.

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

@GnomeAndFairy Somehow when *I* make the salad, it’s not as good as when someone else makes it.

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

@GnomeAndFairy @kimruehl Hmmmmm… I mean… I’m more like an infrequent visitor now. But you could asks I just probably won’t have an answer. 😂

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

I just made a deal with a patient that if he eats a popsicle and drinks some Sprite, I’ll get him some play-doh.

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

@GnomeAndFairy Does this mean you’re staying!!!

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

I thought I was treating myself.

Treating myself to discomfort.

And I’m too far invested to give up now.

[Melissa Kwan, MD, FAAP (she/her) @melhkwan]

I bought fancy shoes, and now I get to spend weeks breaking in fancy shoes.
