Got home late (again) to find this gift wrapped on my front porch from a patient. The plague doctor. I love it!! The doggo (wouldn’t come down the stairs) and wife (screamed) - not so much. 🤪 #HappyHalloween

Apparently Lego has donated over 10,000 of these MRI playsets to hospitals to help reduce anxiety in children getting MRIs

Vaccines are among the most extensively tested and monitored medical interventions in human history.

Can we at least agree that it would be good to have safer and more effective vaccines that are rigorously tested according to established modern regulatory standards?

This Army soldier was on a delayed flight home to Mississippi. He had to watch his baby being born over FaceTime. He was crying & it broke all of our hearts. We gave him space & stayed quiet so he could be present for the moment. When there was a sound of the baby crying

Big news: The HPV vaccine is working. (And in many countries, it’s on its way to eliminate cervical cancer.) A study in JAMA Pediatrics with 2,300 women found that over 17 years, HPV infections dropped by 98% in vaccinated women (& 76% in the unvaccinated due to herd immunity).

😥More heartbreaking measles news. Alberta’s immunization rate is below 65%. Please God let there not be more.

Alberta is reporting its first measles death since outbreaks of the highly contagious illness began in March. The province says a baby, who was born prematurely after the mother became sick, died...

We need HIGHER standards to medically treat kids with mental health and neurodiversity issues that require it. I do not provide cognitive behaviour therapy to my patients although I’ve read books on it. I stay in my lane and defer to the trained professionals-psychologists.

No. Please. Antiparasitic medications are unhelpful unless your child also has a parasitic infection. This is very dangerous and wrong. Pediatric Cancer treatment success rates are now over 80% and improving with multicentre trials that do not include these.

I applaud and recognize this student’s parents for raising such a thoughtful, articulate, and courageous young man who is rightfully trying to protect public school funding. Although this MLA has apologized for his condescending ,physically threatening allusion it rings hollow.

At tonight’s “consultation”… When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more. Listen to the clip yourself… It’s… Telling. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

3/ MMR is not available in 3 separate vaccines; it is only combined w/ CPox at the 4 yo visit 4/ C Pox is given separately in Ontario at 12-15 mos to reduce fever risk 5/ Vaccines are combined to ⬇️visits, ⬆️compliance,⬇️child’s anxiety, potentially ⬆️antibody responses. Fin

This is a foreign administration’s recommendation. I usually wouldn’t comment but thought I would need to get ahead of this. 1/ Expectant moms - speak to your OB; they know you,they know what’s safe 2/ Tylenol, appropriately dosed, is very safe in kids - speak to your Paeds 1/
