My patient realized that blowing bubbles by the negative pressure vent means they get SUCKED INTO THE VENT. #whypeds

Also… I got to hold one of the MS3’s 6 month old baby for about an hour and a half (I claim dibs) and they were so sweet. We had big talks and explored all of the mirrors and paintings on the first floor of the house.

A grocery shopping cart laden with packages of boneless skinless chicken thighs, a large container of yogurt, cans of chickpeas, bags of bell peppers, grapes, and mandarin oranges
Prelim Costco run to get some the ingredients for Tuesday night’s South Asian inspired dinner I’m hosting for the Pediatric Interest Group - 30ish people RSVP’ed as coming. More food photos to follow.
Now off to the Sri Lankan grocery store.

Hahahaha…sound like the absolute antithesis of #WhyPeds
And also kinda #WhyVA for me… I sometimes blame my swearing on prior patients. For instance, guess what I sometimes prescribe that was once referred to as the ’F*ck around and find out’ medicine…

Today I showed a 3-year-old a picture of my dog…
He looked at it and said, “I like him! When can I come to your house to pet your dog?”
Me: “You want to meet my dog?”
Him: “Yes. I want to buy him.”
Me: “Sorry, buddy — he’s not for sale!” #pedssky #medsky #whypeds 😂🐶

One of my 5-year-old patients is moving, and he walked over to me unprompted, gave me a hug, and said, I’ll miss you, Dr. Snarky.

When I tell people, I’m a Peds ID physician, I often get “oh wow that must be so sad”. But I often care for kids with infections that would’ve easily killed an elderly person who go home in a few days to live healthy, productive lives, & I can’t think of much more rewarding then that.

Things I heard today…
“This is so fun!”
“I love you!”
“Dr. Snarky, you are the best.”
After a vaccine “Oh, my arm hurts a little, but it’s okay. Thank you.”
Thankful for days like this that remind me of the why. #kidsfirst #whypeds #pedssky #medsky

Today I got to snuggle a chunky squishy baby while he cooed and giggled as his older sister strutted around like a diva in her oh so fabulous outfit and I’m sorry but this is why my job is better than yours.

There was a moment during a well visit when a 9 month old put his arms out for me to pick him up and all was right in the world for those few seconds.
