I am saddened to hear of the passing of @atulbutte.bsky.social

He was a leader and scientist in the truest senses of the word in informatics and so much more.

Reading and listening to resources talk about how to increase interest in and people working in pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties is frustrating to me, a person currently in the pipeline, with most of my friends also in that pipeline. What we want in clear terms: more money and more time off.

"Any sick contacts" I ask the caregivers of a baby with a cough in the ED who is the 12th one of the night to try to eat my stethoscope.

Great showing by my resident and fellow colleagues
"CU medical trainees rally, submit petition for collective bargaining rights:
Residents, fellows seeking full union recognition say school administrators have blocked efforts".

We deserve legal protections.

Great episode of "Charting Pediatrics", with Dr. @jesscataldi.bsky.social talking about "Measles in the Modern World", www.childrenscolorado.org/health-profe...

Watching "The West Wing" as a coping mechanism--though it did imbibe in me a false sense of rhetoric as a meaningful tool, "Mr. Willis of Ohio".

I've often felt that Internal Medicine could treat their patients the way we treat NICU babies: wrap them up tight, put them in a warm, cozy room, and give them caffeine through an IV.

"Ophthalmology" as a specialty is like President Bartlet from The West Wing when calling the Butterball hotline and calling himself, "Joe Bethersonton", "That's 1 't' and an 'h' in there."
