Patientus Interruptus. We in #medicine have a notorious tendency to not let our #patients finish a sentence. What if they deployed #countermeasures? #graphicmedicine

Maybe having a near omniscient #AI powered pcp has definite downsides if not done right
#medsky #graphicmedicine

If you ask they’ll tell you: The kids of today have levels of fear and #anxiety that can boggle the mind

How does one DO medical rounding? It takes practice, coaching, making mistakes, and conveying key info clearly, unambiguously and with respect for the patients.
#medsky #graphicmedicine

The perfect academic medical center patient
#medsky #graphicmedicine

As #healthcare innovation continues to reduce costs and be proactive for patients, what will they ask about their share of the potential #savings? #graphicmedicine

Be careful what we wish for? Current electronic health records have up and coming capabilities of #AI-driven decision support. This has great potential to elevate practice; but what if it’s judgy? #graphicmedicine

Clinical pearl: never underestimate the allure of the iconic stethoscope to our pediatric clientele.
#pedsky #graphicmedicine

As #AI integrates into medical practice, will it be collegial, or tout it's superiority complex? #graphicmedicine

Time travel to the near future of healthcare

For all that my young patients mention an interest in medicine for a career...quite a few are horrified to think of the prospect of always learning-past when schooling ends. (And, some docs feel that way, too...I actually like it).

If #newborns could talk, I wonder how they’d review those first medical visits

I'm apparently in a book recommending mood, as I shared no less than 7 title suggestions during today's book discussion.

Want a #GraphicMedicine rec? Drop me a couple of keywords and I'll try to send you a suggestion later!

Be kind to the parents of #NICU grads....
One might wonder if the #babies plot/scheme/ to pull some mischief once home...away from the company of all of those folks on hand to help? Might seem that way!
(We remind them: Don't worry alone-call their baby's PCP for backup!) #pedsky #graphicmedicine

Impact of the Graphic Memoir My Degeneration: A Journey Through Parkinson's on Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Mixed Methods Study - PubMed Participants who liked the book-the "endorsers"-revealed that it deeply resonated with them and helped them realize they were not alone with the disease. Many commented that Dunlap-Shohl's story was in some ways their story-and that this was both practically and emotionally reassuring. <i>My Degener</i> …

Encouraging tomorrow's Countway Reads: My Degeneration event participants to read this study!

It is rare to have an actual clinical study for a book we're reading, so this is an exciting chance to discuss deeper!

Coming to a #doctor visit can feel like one is not in control- it can be illuminating how #patients cope.
#pedsky #graphicmedicine

According to #Piaget, the concrete operations phase of #CognitiveDevelopment involves that time when individuals do not (yet or fully) grasp abstract thought. (Which cracks some parents up). #pediatrics #graphicmedicine

How to overcome that adolescent visit showstopper: the urine sample. #pedsky #graphicmedicine

There is a seasonality to #pediatrics.
For example, we in primary care can sense the onset of #AllergySeason. Almost to the minute when the first pollen arrives

When your #patients are sophisticated enough to follow you online but not savvy enough to get what you do. #meded #graphicmedicine

New #Diagnosis: Stethodynia
The symptoms experienced when a child removes your gear to “try” it.

In #pediatrics, kid boredom with Healthcare can lead to unexpected moments of connection.
