After my 36 y.o. brother was in the cath lab for >8 hours, my parents were besides themselves with worry. Designate a team member to update families often. #PedsICU
Today, my brother is taking another step on his lifelong journey with congenital heart disease and getting a defibrillator placed. I am managing my stress by...grant writing? Trying to throw more starfish into the ocean! @kmasonri #PedsICU #academicmedicine

Every Intensivist has a “why.” 35 yrs ago Charles was born blue. Not supposed to survive. I was 5, standing at his incubator. My mother gone for weeks, sitting vigil in a PICU, 12 hours away, with each successive surgery. My childhood. Thankful everyday. Now I give back #PedsICU
Today is the anniversary of the first "blue baby" operation, performed by Alfred Blalock on 15-month-old, Eileen Saxon, in 1944. It was conceived of by Blalock, Vivien Thomas, and Helen Taussig. In the photo, Thomas can be seen standing over Blalock's shoulder, guiding him. #CHD
Once again, social marginalization is associated with worse outcomes is children with chronic illness. So does it effect kids with critical illness? DKA? @JPediatr @SickKidsNews @sickkids sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

PEDS-VA_2017-2309 pediatrics.aappublications.o…… @diversitydataki Great article from Dr. Kersten and colleagues @UCSF. Place matters. Even in acute pediatric illness.

Racial variations in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use following congenital heart surgery jtcvs.org/article/S0022-5223…. Health care disparities exist in the PICU, too.

@rhs2233 seemed to have survived his week of service unscathed. I did not. Glad that one is over. #PedsICU #physicianburnout.

Had a rough day in the PICU. My 7 year old, Caroline, was ready for me when I got home. Pasta. Candy. Motrin. Love letter. Wine. @agstormorken @marlacarterDO @caseymccluskey
