Thanks to the @AmerAcadPeds for leading the charge on vaccine schedule recommendations. Remember, vaccines cause adults. https://t.co/4S2oO4QHeH Trust your pediatricians when it comes to your children’s health.

So we no longer trust vaccine science (tested and evidence based) and we’re ripping funding from the @AmerAcadPeds to research and improve care for kids… but we’re making America healthy again? Can someone explain to me how? Because the math ain’t mathing.

Today's ACIP announcement confirms what we have feared: This administration has no grasp of science, no interest in public health or the future of the most vulnerable. Trust your doctors who fight for what's right for kids. @AmerMedicalAssn and @AmerAcadPeds keep up the fight.

Highlights (or should I say lowlights?): ❌ loss of funds for Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) assistance program, geared to assist moms & babies ❌ delayed release of critical regulations ❌ delayed Medicare payments to providers This shutdown impacts us all.
🚨 If #Congress does not pass a CR by midnight tonight and there is a government #shutdown, here are some major impacts on key health policy areas.👇 Memo from @AmerMedicalAssn

Being told you look too young to intubate a patient 5 days before your birthday as an overtired PEM attending is an excellent way to end a shift. The good outcome for the patient was also an added bonus.

Last year, my husband’s hometown was terrorized by gun violence. Tonight I got to be an er doc on call during a mass shooting where we call home. Enough is enough has been enough for a long time. Gun violence needs to stop.

Tell me you’ve lived in Chicago without telling me you’ve lived in Chicago. I’ll go first. When it’s Memorial Day weekend and you see posts on social media saying, “MDW,” your first thought is Midway Airport.

One of those hug your loved ones tight tonight shifts. And doing it all over again tomorrow. Check on your #PEM friends. Acuity. Codes. Angry families. Long waits. Boarding. Nothing about this is ok. We’re only human, doing our best. And when that’s not enough, it really sucks.
