If you take one thing away from my twitter or my chest presentations or any discussion with me, let it be this concept right here.

In a world where some lawmakers remain too cowardly to stand up to the gun lobby, here’s what you get. The means to help identify your children after they’ve been massacred at school, but no concrete measures to prevent such tragedies in the first place. today.com/parents/family…

Our "solution" to school shootings can not be collecting better DNA from our children so we can still identify their mutilated and decapitated bodies after being obliterated by an AR-15. We need more graduations- less funerals.

#Medtwitter: #Pediatric acute care is in crisis around the 🇺🇸. The volume, the acuity..kids need all hands on deck. This is our 2020. If you know a #pediatrics #nurse, #physician, #APP, #RT, #pharmacist, anyone- ask how you can help. We need support now. #PedsICU #PedsEM

So much energy in this room from @jessicahalem (freakin love it!!) on the new LGBTQ Healthcare directory. A work in progress, is great update and one to share widely #GLMA2022 #GLMA22 #lgbtqhealthcare GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equali Check it out at lgbtqhealthcaredirectory.org

Hey #SPANOLA22 ! If you'd like to display your pronouns today... pick up a pronoun ribbon at the registration table or see me Travis Reece-Nguyen (he/him) MD, MPH, FAAP 🏳️‍🌈 or Remigio A. Roque, MD, D.ABA, FAAP (He/Him)!! LGBTQIA(nesthesiology) #everyonehaspronouns SPA #SPADEI

Medical friends, is caffeine actually a diuretic significant enough to worry that patients will become dehydrated? Yes, I also have to pee after my morning caffeine, but it's a beverage.... Hit me up with evidence? Joel M. Topf, MD FACP #PedsAnes #PedsICU

Great talk from Hedwig Schroeck M.D. on inter-professional teams. We have many ad-hoc teams, especially at academic centers. Team huddles, anticipation, and role clarification can help PRIOR to performance. #SPANOLA22 SPA

🚨 Critical new study: after the expanded Child Tax Credit expired in Jan 2022, food insecurity jumped up across US households with kids. In short, the CTC keeps kids from going hungry. My take as a pediatrician: We need to expand the CTC & make it permanent. 🩺✨

How it started, how it ended (I elected not to take a picture of my formerly black skirt) #SPANOLA22

UPDATE: The two nurses shot outside Methodist hospital in Dallas today are dead. The suspect was a criminal on parole and he was wearing "an active ankle monitor.” Spare me your bullshit about how Gov Abbott is “tough on crime.” THIS IS LAWLESSNESS: cnn.com/2022/10/22/us/…

In the ONE YEAR since Gov Abbott singer permitless carry into law, there has been a 100% increase in the number of Texans shot or wounded. Even if the 40 people killed or wounded in the Robb Elementary mass shooting are excluded, the increase is 79%. reformaustin.org/public-safety/…

Wow. This is an aspect of bizarre race-based beliefs in medicine that I hadn’t heard of before. I’m sure this went along with the mistaken idea that black people had thicker skin and felt less pain. Horrifying.

What Mehmet Oz means when he says abortion should be between "a woman, her doctor, and local political leaders." #PASenateDebate Thx Amy Schumer

To answer your question Hunter, I haven’t been able to vote before because of how difficult it is for low income Texans to get the documents they need in order TO vote. It took me MONTHS to get my ID once I moved out of my childhood home. I was 17 in 2020. I’m 19 now.

Pediatric Anesthesia Pro Tip #29: Honour the *art* of anesthesia. How you interact with patients, how gentle you are with the airway, team dynamics, and many other non pharmacological factors likely contribute to outcomes. Much harder to collect data on this, but we should try!

My 4-year-old proudly explained that she hid in the cubby area during the preschool lockdown drill. Looking at her, & pretending her cubby will keep her safe from assault weapons is what parenting looks like in 2022.
