Fueled by TV based medical dramas, some patients enter the health space slinging #lingo that might not be as precise as they think it is. Our job? Clarify their meaning, and if possible, find plainer/common language.

In the #Pediatric landscape, the infrastructure has yet to keep pace with the investigational proclivities of our #clientele. One must be prepared for anything (like, say, a sudden unexpected PowerOutage). #graphicmedicine

Sometimes, the idea for a cartoon just pops into my head.
Or, some word/scene lights up my brain w from the material that passes before my pediatrician/dad eyes.
Or I draw stuff, to see where it goes. And, less often, I do something and I leave it as is, because I like how it turned out.

Please don’t ask THEM, a school ager, if they “want” a flu shot (that is a setup)
That is what the adult caretakers need decide on their behalf

Predictable event: In Pediatrics, after every holiday interlude, we see kids for illness that might be imbued by parents’ attitudes on each other. Our job? Treat illness for what it is (and be Switzerland). #pedsky #graphicmedicined

So many of us grant ourselves special rules for eating those unique seasonal rich foods on the Holidays...but then feel horrid self recrimination soon after OR would never consider eating those on a non-holiday schedule.
