It’s #rarediseaseday. I remember being a med student and told that zebras are uncommon and shouldn’t be at the top of the differential diagnosis. Collectively though they aren’t uncommon.

I just keep waiting every week to have a scene on the Pitt where a baby is born in the ER and the neonatologist is Dr. Robby’s sister or father because that sums up my family in a nutshell. And also there are just so many elements of medicine the show gets right.

I don’t know where I went right in life that when I’m on service I come home to dinner made for me, kid lunch made for tomorrow, kid bathed and in PJs, and trash taken out for tomorrow. Definitely married a great partner in life!

As a med student I met a child with pneumococcal meningitis. The kid had contracted a strain that was not covered by PCV7 which had been given but was covered in the very newly released PCV13. It was awful to know that kid had just missed out on vaccine that could have prevented a terrible illness.

What would medicine look like if we could pass something where some children/adults can be labeled as medically complex for insurance reasons and it prohibits insurance companies from denying any type of subspecialty care or medication deemed necessary by docs on their complex care team?

Happy Thanksgiving - my family is celebrating on Saturday this year because my brother is working in the ER today and tomorrow. Grateful that we still found a day that worked with our crazy schedules!

Recently have been on a bit of a journey to try and reach out and more directly chat with people who worked with my Dad back when surfactant protein-b deficiency was first discovered and it’s been so interesting to hear how it played out in ways the journal articles can’t touch.

2023 felt like it was so much therapeutic hypothermia in the unit, 2024 is just so many chest tubes.

Our hospital gives out turkeys (+ kosher, halal, and non-turkey vegan options) for Thanksgiving and I walked by the turkey pick up desk this am and it just brought me so much joy.
