#PedSky appreciation post: Dr. Weyand’s posts are why I now check ferritin/CRP for every anemia screen (w CBC + retic)! I’ve caught so many w single digit ferritin levels even if Hgb is “normal” 😱 It’s also an issue in “picky eaters” even if they’re not menstruating

A superlative thread 🧵 from earlier today from an expert in medicine ⚕️ on a common chronic disease (and very treatable) that afflicts both adolescents and adults and deprives quality of life. You, or someone you know, may be affected. A vicious clinical cycle that can (and must) be broken. ⤵️

If you have a new serious health condition that has developed since you had a covid infection, it may have been caused by the covid infection. Covid can do damage to every organ system. Lasting damage. Even if you've been vaccinated or had Covid before.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

PSA: Serum iron level is useless in the diagnosis of iron deficiency (actually useless altogether except that it’s used to calculate Tsat which can be helpful in diagnosing hemochromatosis)

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

It's going to take a while to find each other, isn't it. . . . . Imagine what it's like having to do this for real when your house and country has been blown up and you're starving and thirsty and desperate.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
