Music is a tie that binds. At a time when there was a lot of chaos and disruption, there was music. And it brought a lot of different people together.

Re: What is pediatrics? It’s more than just runny noses.

Yes, pediatrics is more than runny noses. But pediatrics is more than treating illness, something the author of this article fails to address. It is advocacy, it is creating healthier communities, it is addressing the problems of the child in the context of their families and communities. You cannot treat the child's illness without at least a brief consideration of everything else.

Eh. I'm in the market for a new laptop and this seems like it would fit the bill for what I need - MS Office and the intertubes. Hook me up!

The Dodgers are to the left coast what the Yankmees are to the right coast. Unfuckingbelieveable.

Apparently you can still pound nails into your coffin after you're dead. Veets proved that in this interview. What an asshat.

That is one of my favorite parts of seeing my patients. I love that I can walk into the room, sit down, have a toddler crawl into my lap, and chit-chat with the mom for a few minutes before we get to the nitty-gritty of the visit. A lot of my moms have had a child every year I've been a resident and I've been able to do some prenatal stuff with them as well. To me, it's very rewarding and reminds me that I don't suck at this after all.

My best friend is an ID fellow. I've done ID consults by text many times. In my department, we text a lot. Usually it doesn't involve anything medical but on occasion it does. We don't have fancy alphanumeric pagers so to pass along a message (ie. DKA in the ER for you, the bili came back and it was fine, etc.) we text it.

Re: My Daughter’s First Game Ever

My dad was the one who got me hooked on baseball, too. I don't remember my first game, but I remember that we had season tickets to the Syracuse Chiefs, our local AAA team. Getting Glenallen Hill's autograph was a highlight of my younger years. :) My dad taught me how to keep score, what a strike looked like, and how to shell peanuts. I do remember my first game at Fenway. I was in second grade and the Sox were playing the Blue Jays. Clemens and Todd Stottlemyer were the starting pitchers. It's been a while since I've been to a ballgame with my dad. Since we both still live in Syracuse, that sounds like a helluva Father's Day gift.
