When I tell ppl I'm interested in abortion and pediatrics, they're perplexed.
"Why not OB-Gyn? Why not FM?"
"So you'll want to specialize?"
"We don't deal with abortion in peds"
We may not *deal* with abortion, but pediatric patients sure do. Buckle up, a thread.

Minnesota Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. And yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone behind me here

The chaos and confusion RFK Jr. is creating for parents and doctors is dangerous and puts the health and well-being of Pennsylvanians at stake.

Minnesotans have made a clear choice. They elected a pro-choice DFL majority to the MN Senate.
And we are ready.
To fight for our freedoms. To lead with our values. To do the important work for the people of our state.
Minnesota, our future is bright. Thank you.
The Senate DFL Caucus is thrilled to announce that we have FLIPPED THE MN SENATE! Minnesota's voters made it abundantly clear that they want to end the gridlock and move Minnesota forward. We celebrate this victory and are ready to get to work! #flipMNsenate

Hospitals are full of #RSV right now, peaking a little early and joined by many other viruses, placing strain on Children’s hospitals nationwide. A 🧵on RSV…
It’s a hard night and the hospital is full and your body hasn’t quite adjusted and you’re hungry and it’s hour 3 of 13.
Then a kid — a totally random kid — runs up to you and hugs you and says “I love you doctor”
Sure, it doesn’t fix everything. But damn, peds is the best.

Today @CDCgov’s independent advisory committee voted to include the COVID vaccine in the Vaccines for Children program, which provides free vaccines to 1/2 of US children, including those in Medicaid & those who are uninsured. This program helps reduce disparities in access. 1/5
