30 infants die and we recall 4.7 mil Rock ‘n Play Sleepers. 2 toddlers die and we recall 3.2 mil Calico Critters toys. 2 infants die and we recall so much formula that the US goes into shortage. Last year, over 6,000 children were injured by gun violence. Nothing. Nada.

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file. Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.
Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵

First to the stand is pediatrician Dr. Elizabeth Mack: "gender affirming care is the standard of care, it is evidence-based medicine supported by all of the medical colleges and associations." Clarifies what it means:

Nice to see this after talking a bit about #deimplementation with @ECLIPSE_PALISI #zentensivist
Malin and others performed a quality improvement initiative to reduce screening chest radiographs in the ICU. The number of radiographs was reduced in part by eliminating unnecessary daily screening.#pedsICU bit.ly/3EG2gGS

Really proud to have been able to help use data from our cath lab to address this question… an important issue as accurate pulse oximetry drives clinical decision making in ill children (with and without congenital heart disease)
Results of Ruppel et al's new @CHOP_CPCE study using data from cardiac cath lab confirm prior evidence suggesting that pulse ox overestimates arterial oxygen saturation in children of Black or African American race. @obyrne_md @mlanefall @PennNursing jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
