What reduced car accident deaths? Education, better manufacturing, laws like mandated car seats. But the car industry didn’t oppose saving lives, they didn’t troll accident victims, they weren’t unhinged extremists. Gun makers are killing us with impunity washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

Breaking: U.S. FDA has approved Narcan for over-the-counter use! ✊🏻 I spoke in strong support of this change to their advisory panel in February. Amid ever-rising overdose deaths (including kids & teens I care for), this policy will save many, many lives.

This is pure genius. Pediatrician and mom Annie Andrews is so sick and tired of AR-15 pin wearing cowards doing NOTHING to save the lives of kids from gun violence that she started the first organization dedicated solely to elect lawmakers willing to advocate for kids.

Welcome to the Children's National Hospital 🏥 family Dr. Annie Andrews ! So glad to have such a fierce advocate for gun control and protecting our kids at the nation’s children’s hospital!

This was graffitied on our church overnight. Where my husband & I bring our 2 kids every week. Why do we celebrate #PrideMonth? 🌈 Because we celebrate those who fought hard for the rights of LGBTQ+ ppl to live & love. And because in 2023 we still have to fight against hate. ✊🏻

Lost 500+ followers by posting a video supporting a transman. Happy #pride to me! Can I get some RT and new followers? I’m an ER doc and #LGBTQ advocate posting educational content and my thoughts about #advocacy work in the ED 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Anita Patel MD and Dr. Kenny Mckinley discussed their predictive modeling work extracting insights from the EMR to improve care for kids

Doctors everywhere, but especially in states like Tennessee and South Carolina, are told not to talk about gun violence because it is “too political”. AND THEN THEY GET SHOT AT WORK.

Generative AI (like #ChatGPT) might one-day be ideal for diagnosing diseases, offering 24/7 medical advice and improving communications with patients. Would that be great news for healthcare or a threat to doctors and patients? My thoughts in The Fulcrum. thefulcrum.us/doctors-and-ai…

3 eras of AI, chat gpt, and healthcare. Lucky to have Robert Pearl, MD at Children's National Hospital 🏥 today!

My K08 NOA is in! (I still can't find the email - lol). Many thanks to my mentor and co-mentors (Vittorio Gallo, Amita Sehgal , Regina Armstrong, Hashimoto-Torii Lab), division chief (Mike Bell), my letter writers, my scholarly oversight committee members, and Children's National Hospital 🏥.

We were raised by South Asian parents...

Are medical peeps still on here? Once Elon took over I gave up as this did not feel “safe” before the acquisition so I feared how much worse it would get. But I do miss the academic side of X - drop and emoji or hello if you are! Perhaps I’ll try to get back into the fold

As a double board certified pediatrician and pediatric critical care doctor, I can firmly state that no babies are killed after 9 months….

Toxicologist here! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that - no matter your age, size, or health status - you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride

Very happy news that will allow me to break my twitter ban !
