I wrote an essay about how "Parents Are Not Ok." Check it out. link.medium.com/zzBX0d1Kr5 #ParentingInAPandemic
CONFIRMED: It is not possible to parent properly, let alone home school, when you are working from home. BUT, at least I am not on the front lines. Thank you to all the health care workers out there, many of whom are also parents! #HealthCareWorkers #HealthcareHeroes

The administration’s current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded. The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now.

Pretty much best possible news from today’s bronchoscopy for stage 4 #lungcancer. Pending biopsy, Tagrisso resolved all lymph nodes, other lesions, only thing left is what’s left of original tumor. Looking good for surgery (and Tagrisso) for long term success. ❤️to all.
Is #hapc the only specialty that literally everyone will need at some point? @ctsinclair what say you? Has someone tweeted this before? Just appreciating how everyone can take something from our conference! Follow us at #hapc23!
So excited to see @NotesOnNursing honored for her tireless work in support of #PalliativeCare in so many arenas. #hapc23 #hapc @HPNAinfo

I'm at a conference, not paying much attention. The speaker is talking about a book he loved so much, he bought a copy for every person on his team. Then he tells us the title. I stop what I am doing and look up. The title clicks an ON button in my mind. <<-- Thread 🧵 -->>
Anyone with young kids knows how disruptive time changes can be for sleep patterns. When a kid reaches the age he can crawl out of the crib and you have to remove the side, it can be pretty disruptive too. When both happen on the same day it is a train wreck...
I am irrationally angry this never occurred to me.
@CMerandi Really? I think that's WAY off base. There's plenty of evidence that CBT can help with pain--just as strong as the evidence for opioids or any other type of medication. You're (inadvertently?) stigmatizing people who find CBT helpful for their pain when you do this. Stop.
Once again, the healthcare system failed us. Baby David came as my birthday present but came too early. He was born at 18 weeks & died at birth. Now, we get to bury him. May the short time I got to hold him forever remain a blessing. He was so gorgeous with the cutest features.
