It’s time to reevaluate how we systemically under reimburse pediatric and pediatric specialty services compared to adults or you can bet access to pediatric services will continue to dwindle until they are only available to the connected/wealthy.

[Wendy Darlington, MD, MAPP @wsdarlin]

<3 yes!

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/

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

These are the pages of my inaugural poem that an objecting parent cited as "not educational and have indirectly hate messages". And now because of that one complaint, my poem is now banned for elementary school students at a school in @MiamiDadeCounty.

“While workload is often blamed for “burnout,” ppl didn’t become (docs) by not working hard. it is the nature of the work and how they are treated by healthcare orgs. …workers repeatedly point to their invisibility, lack of agency, and the ways in which their needs are ignored as the problem.”

We will be in Ballroom B - it’s giant!

Our workshop is old-school - meant to discuss cases to generate questions (and solutions!) with the audience w/ input from Adol Med, Hematology and most importantly, a Patient-Advocate.

So sit close!
