I work with these experts. They are excellent and compassionate physicians. This is such a difficult time. Glad they wrote this.

Thank you, Senator Van Hollen. Glad to be your constituent.
Every clinic visit- do you need a school note? Do you need a work note? Here take one just in case! (Etc.) Took my son to the dentist yesterday and forgot to ask for the note. (Just like I forgot last time.) π€¦π»ββοΈ
YESSSSSS
Why does CITI renewal training take so many hours?! Who has the time for this...

United Health Groupβs pharmacy benefit manager, Optum Rx, stopped covering Cole Schmidtknechtβs βlife-changingβ inhaler, suit alleges.
Editorial from the @thelancet.bsky.social
"The health, medical, and scientific communities have a vital role in advocating for their patients, defending programmes, and lobbying for policies and institutions that are good for health and wellbeing."

Dear fellow scientists, Go talk to the press about what is going on. Talk to local news about how it will impact jobs. Be specific, but don't pity yourself. Instead focus on how your own situation affects local jobs, the national economy, beating the growing scientific race with China. Suggestions:
Could you imagine if everyone with #asthma or #COPD only paid a $25 co-pay for their #inhalers?

Yes!!!! by the way, I looked into the docent program there before I had kids. But the training was during the weekdays so I could not do it. Now I also could not manage to dedicate any weekend time, but I thought it would be fun to do on the weekends back then
Ooh- I will have to check these out. I was an art history major in undergrad and just adore the Cone Collection (and the BMA in general).
Me too!
Interesting idea!
Most babies who got very sick from RSV the last few winters were previously healthy. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Aww, thank you so much, Lael!
Thank you so much, Erick!
Terri, thank you so much for the kind words, and the support as always!
Check out this interview I got to do about my advocacy work. It was an honor to participate. www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/article...

I know this sounds far fetched, but there is potential for bipartisan work on things like PBMs and Medicare advantage. Our current news cycle is showing us that these mega healthcare corporations have a roughly 0% approval rating. Everybody is pissed off at (mostly) the same things.
Half of my pre-Thanksgiving clinic is patients who have been away at college and are home for the break. Pediatrics is the best. It is fun seeing such a big age range- infants to young adults.
Bluesky feels like it's really taking off!
I have such a love-hate relationship with EndNote.
