High rates of Mycoplasma pneumoniae ("walking pneumonia") in Ontario, 2024, especially in those age 5-17.
16.3% of a subset of 135 specimens had mutations that suggest resistance to macrolide antibiotics.

I’ve been brought to tears several times in the past few days, most recently a few minutes ago. I want you to know that it’s been because of kindness & community.
Last week: tears of rage.
This week: Tears of gratitude for the people who are showing up, saying yes, & *being* and *doing* love.

“I must sound so ungrateful,” a father said. Where patients usually say “thank you," he said: help me understand why no one listens to us? The “ungrateful” patient taught me: Patients don’t owe us gratitude. We owe them the truth. And the willingness to listen.

I used to be terrified of teaching.
