#medtwitter, working to make healthcare teams and patients non-malignant

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

So, what’s the best way to keep up with the latest and greatest in pediatric oncology research/science? Blog, Twitter, email newsletter, podcast? Help me out! #meded #pho

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

@wearfigs please make Tall size tops 🙏🏼

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

In search for a pediatric oncology podcast that discusses the latest in chemotherapy and clinical trials.......

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

Any hematologists here want to weigh in?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”

What could possibly go wrong! (2/6)

Bari Weiss is a stupid ass name.

Once again #noticing pediatric subspecialty match rates 👀

When are we going to begin seriously investing in those who care the most about our most vulnerable and exploitable population - the children?

Looking at you - peds ID, heme, renal, and endo.

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

@TCHHemOncFellow @TexasChildrens @bcmhouston (psst - fold it into the normal 3 year fellowship as a clinical track and watch the applications explode)

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

oh boy let me tell you, it's an absolute adventure reminding MAHA parents of kids with leukemia that yes they can get Tylenol for pain and fever and yes they need leucovorin after HDMTX and like none of the things they've heard about those meds recently are even remotely relevant

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

@CDCgov I think it's a grave mistake that Dr. Meissner is a sellout and a POS, talking out of his ass about something out of his depth. The AAP will continue protecting kids and their interests for generations and you will fade to irrelevance.

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

There is no group with more of a falsely-based hysterical persecution complex than white evangelical conservative Christians. Unfortunately they've also consolidated so much political power in this country that they believe they can dictate the facts to make their premise "truth"

me during fellowship:

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Listen, we have way too many doctors trying to do research. Stop it. Go see some patients.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The FDA’s top vaccine official resigned after a public campaign against him led by the right-wing influencer Laura Loomer. https://t.co/3Zft2jjfUY

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

@RepGregMurphy So troublesome to see so many old doctors in Congress be assholes.

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

"Let's see if fellowship programs structured for 3 years of cost controlled service and curriculum can show that said fellows are competent after 2 years! That'll keep them from the workforce for longer!"

What a farce.

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

So how do pediatric heme/onc faculty whose grants/research efforts are being hamstrung by this administration handle working alongside faculty that knowingly and unapologetically voted for Trump?

Those staff meeting probably a little tense, no??

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

Texas would be better off without RFK around.

[CDC @CDCgov]

🚨 CDC is on the ground in TX, partnering with @TexasDSHS to respond to the #measles outbreak.

This partnership - known as an Epi-Aid- is a rapid response by CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) to tackle urgent public health issues like disease outbreaks. EIS officers provide local officials onsite support for 1-3 weeks, aiding in quick decision-making to control health threats. The local authority leads the investigation while collaborating with CDC experts.

“The measles outbreak in Texas is a call to action for all of us to reaffirm our commitment to public health. By working together -- parents, healthcare providers, community leaders, and government officials, we can prevent future outbreaks and protect the health of our nation. Under my leadership, HHS is and will always be committed to radical transparency to regain the public’s trust in its health agencies.” @SecKennedy @HHSGov

*taps sign*

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

The first pediatric heme-onc fellowship program that decides to eschew the normal framework of the fellowship and instead offer two-year clinical tracks in either pedi hematology or oncology will have an incredibly competitive application process.

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

So these PHO fellowship match rates...👀

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

why

[UT MD Anderson @UTMDAnderson]

MD Anderson and @TexasChildrens announce a transformational collaboration dedicated solely to pediatric cancer care. This new first-of-its-kind joint venture, which will launch in early 2026, has a single mission: to end #ChildhoodCancer.  Learn more: https://t.co/pdfnLilitK #EndCancer

[pedioncdoc @pedioncdoc]

You're a sellout.

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

This is a serious measles outbreak in Texas. The measles vaccine has been proven safe & effective since 1963.
