I've been thinking about compassion and pediatricians.
There's an idea that pediatricians are "softer" than internal medicine docs because we take care of kids. And kids are cute! Funny! Sticky! 1/

Once when I was a resident, a scrub tech told me I was going to treat runny noses all day while HE worked in the OR doing SURGERY.
I had already matched to a hem/onc fellowship.
But the perception was there. My job was soft. His was hard.

The irony is that pediatricians embody fierce compassion.
We show up when kids have been shot. When they have been abused. When they have been disfigured.
When they are dying.
There is nothing soft about that. 3/

Pediatricians deeply understand risk/benefit of vaccines. As a peds ID doc, I see kids who fall through the "prevention cracks" including immeasurable suffering from severe tetanus, measles pneumonitis & SSPE, chickenpox encephalitis, pertussis, meningitis, and now COVID.
Situations of telling a gasping teen to ālay proneā are vaccine-preventable. This pt was also alone, because her parents were at home, also sick w COVID pneumonia, and too ill to accompany her on hospital transfer. They were all previously healthy and unvaccinated.

#MedTwitter Hi again from your neighborhood cardiologist - This article from the UK is getting quite a lot of interest because it has worked harder in determining the incidence of COVID vaccine myocarditis after boosters. Let's think through this one. medrxiv.org/content/10.110ā¦
#Vaccineswork #COVID19 #COVID19France #COVID19Vic #tweetiatrician The structure of their study is essentially that they looked at 42 million Brits >13 years of age and checked, based upon national medical records, whether or not they had COVID disease myocarditis, Vax myo, and...
Which dose and which vaccine it happened after (COVID disease, Moderna, Ox-Astra Zeneca, or Pfizer). They found some data that correlate with the prior Nature study at nature.com/articles/s4159ā¦ .

The explosion of misinformation, disinformation, and anti-medical establishment sentiment goes way back, even back to the invention of the concept of vaccination. One source reports this maybe goes back to at least the time of US President John Adams smithsonianmag.com/history/age-olā¦
If you ever wanted to make a scientist upset, tell him/ her that science has political power. Why? Because if you were a child, poor, and could get a scholarship to school, your science experiment was on a level playing field with the rich expat child who conducted an experiment.

Weād reassure you that children continue to mostly do well with acute covid. Weād then explain that deaths + hospitalization from acute covid are just part of the equation.

Team it's time to address the Hoeg et al preprint on post-COVID vaccine myocarditis. How am I qualified to speak about myocarditis? I am board certified in paediatric cardiology and currently have patients recovering from this condition. TLDR: They are doing quite well. #MRI
What is the premise of that article? directly scanning VAERS data will result in capturing more cases of myocarditis, and therefore the "conclusion" that COVID vaccine generates a higher risk of myocarditis than COVID disease. But - cardiologists have diagnostic criteria. #heart
All that bleeds troponin is **not** myocarditis. I cite my professional society, the American College of Cardiology: #myocarditis #COVID19 #vaccination #VaccinesWork
To reassure parents, a reminder of some key facts about #COVID in #children:
Ā
#SARSCoV2 infection remains asymptomatic or mild in the vast majority of children, even with the #DeltaVariant. Hospitalisation and deaths from COVID are still rare in this age group.

However, the greater transmissibility of the Delta variant means there is more COVID in *all* age groups, including children, so we will see more paediatric cases.
As a large number of older people are now vaccinated, the increase is blunted in the elderly so, compared with earlier in the pandemic, a higher *proportion* of current cases will be in children: this can give the mistaken impression that the Delta variant is targeting children.
We are currently entering week 2 of isolation/quarantine with two kids under 3 with symptomatic covid. Here is how we got here. #tweetiatrician #mdphd #covid19 #deltavariant 1/n
Three weeks ago, my vaccinated dad left for a week long camping trip with 6 other vaccinated guys (including my uncle). They spent time outside, in the mountains, hiking, fishing, etc. They did not share tents. They did not share cars. 2/n
On 8/4 my parents, whom we have been in a bubble with since the start of the pandemic, came over for dinner to celebrate my birthday; on 8/6 they babysat my 2yo and 9mo so my husband and I could go out to dinner (we ate out doors, in a socially distanced setting). 3/n

We are officially back to getting crushed by #COVID, and for #pediatricians this wave feels *worse* in many ways. And as a pediatric hospitalist who has been a front-line COVID doctor for the entire pandemic, Iām going to share what Iāve seen the last 8 days on service. 1/
After many months of zero or few pediatric COVID cases, we are seeing infants, children, and teens with COVID pouring back into the hospital, more and more each day. These patients ranged in age from 2 weeks old to 17 years.
COVID admissions in our medical center are up 500% and currently 80% of cases in our hospital are due to the highly contagious Delta variant. I worry that the Delta variant, in addition to being more contagious, *may* also be more virulent in children.
Can we talk about all the ākids donāt need masksā hot takes from āexpertsā that keep cropping up?
Iām exhausted and frustrated and just need to lay some thoughts out there

Iāve been bombarded with DMs, comments, articles arguing for a back to normal for kids that ditches all masks for kids + insists covid isnāt bad for them.
The main tactic is the same old using stats + missing the big picture to ultimately argue covid isnāt dangerous for kids
The main tactic is the same old using stats + missing the big picture to ultimately argue covid isnāt dangerous for kids
The reality of covid risk to kids is much messier. It involves understanding the complexities of mortality rates, how all children deserve to live a life free of vaccine-preventable disease, how the known + unknown long term effects scare pediatricians more than acute disease
Itās the first week of residency for many incoming residents this week. I remember my first day @usask so vividly: I was so stressed out that I developed tinnitus and asked my senior to examine my ears because I thought I was suddenly becoming deaf. Everyone: take deep breaths.
I have one advice: you are NEVER alone. Donāt ever think that you need to suffer in silence. If you donāt know something, itās normal! Youāre not supposed to know anything: thatās why youāre where you are. No one expects PGY1s to be experts in their fields.
Your co-residents will become your family. You will look after each other. That is so precious and will last your entire career. But also remember that your staff is here for you: you need a shoulder to cry on? You need a hug? You need a warm supper? Weāre all over this. Call us.
