Grateful to @catcough_md for her leadership on this piece! And it was a joy to work with @AmyJDeLong and Ken Michelson as always! #CHGME funding is critical for kids to get the care they need, when and where they need it!

Gender-affirming care is evidence-based and lifesaving, and I'm proud to work @BostonChildrens where my colleagues provide this care every day. I will continue caring for trans and non-binary kids in the ER, using their affirmed names and pronouns, and 🧵1/2

Gotta be the time our dog was having labored breathing and a huge swollen belly. Vet thought she may need emergency surgery until the X-ray showed she had gotten into a bag of food and eaten so much her stomach was pushing up on her lungs… $600 later we were happy and also 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thankful for the brave kids that shared their stories, for @mrichtel and @nytimes for giving this crisis the attention it so desperately needs, and @BostonChildrens for helping me be a part of it. Now let’s get to work, our kids deserve better. #tweetiatrician @AmerAcadPeds

Hundreds of suicidal teenagers are spending the night in emergency rooms across the U.S. That's because there are not enough community treatment beds to cope with an adolescent mental health crisis.

No surprise but @jeanajunior11 absolutely CRUSHED it in her plenary session about tax policy and infant mortality, showing ⬆️ tax revenue and tax progressivity was associated with ⬇️ infant mortality. Tax policy = a modifiable #SDOH @LoisLeeMD @EFleegler @BostonChildrens #pas22

So proud to have been a part of this team, and especially grateful to @vlocarmen for seeing an issue and using the power of our platform as clinicians and researchers to advocate against it. Here’s hoping the 🇺🇸 and 🇺🇳 overturn these harmful and racist policies

In a new paper, HMS’ @vlocarmen, Timothy Erickson, @LashNolen, and @DocMcStewson describe how exportation of banned pesticides leads to disproportionately high rates of morbidity and mortality, most notably in Indigenous women and children (via @TheLancet)

Is anyone else’s phone timer automatically on 15 minutes at all times because the only thing they ever set a timer for are their rapid COVID tests? 🤔👃🦠🙅🏼‍♀️ (I’m fine, just testing as a precaution)

Other than the lollipop (I give out popsicles) this is 100% correct. Stickers, juice and snacks = currency. Kids 👶🏾👧🏼🧒🏻👶🏽 are absolutely better than adults. And the brutal honesty? Well, I could share some tales 🤣, but check this out as a start: https://t.co/c79hIw17ri

When the nation’s pediatricians, internists, gynecologists, and psychiatrists ALL agree on something, maybe legislators should pay attention. #ProtectTransKids 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/0Fm0NVQ3sq
