Garden harvests are best when shared! There are lots of community gardens around Baltimore! You can use them to provide your home and your neighbors with fresh produce, to teach children about nature, and to get some fresh air. #CommunityGardenWeek @RecNParks @PedLungDoc

This is your must read this week. It is about leukemia and the powers and limits of science and the terrifying dangers of the turn against it. It is human and excoriating and beautiful. From @TATIANASCH41881, JFK’s granddaughter. newyorker.com/culture/the-we…

Pediatric pulmonologist @PedLungDoc recently donated over 70 bags of medical necessities for Baltimore City students with #asthma. The bags included an albuterol inhaler, reusable spacers, and educational materials for public schools. The bags will cover over 40 health suites in different public schools. A new law in Maryland requires public schools (and allows private schools) to have emergency albuterol on hand for respiratory emergencies. This donation ensures that the schools will be able to properly administer the emergency medication to students with asthma. #AsthmaAwareness #JohnsHopkins #KidsHealth

Respiratory syncytial virus is common, but it can be dangerous for some infants and young kids. Hear more from experts, including Dr. Christy Sadreameli (@PedLungDoc), about everything caregivers need to know. ➡️ bit.ly/4lEWIiR #RSV #PedsPulmonology #KidsHealth

“This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress. We're debating a bill that’s going to cut healthcare for 16 million people. To give a tax break to massively wealthy people who don't need any more money.” -@ChrisMurphyCT

Too many people take biomedical innovation for granted.

Thankfully, I was raised hearing it 🤣 and rehearsed with a pause so I would be ready!

Check out this interview I got to do about my advocacy work. It was an honor to participate. hopkinsmedicine.org/news/art…

RT @allisonoconn: Tough day to be a physician in America. Tough day to be a scientist in America. Tough day to be a woman in America.

It seems so obvious. When critical medications for chronic conditions like #asthma🫁 are discontinued/disrupted/changed for non-medical reasons, there will be terrible ramifications.😳 Glad we have this data; share widely! #PedPulm @ATSPeds @accpchest @LungAssociation

This is a painful read, but it matches my experience. I had to deal with one of these companies today in a peer to peer to get an extremely necessary imaging test approved today. This corporate greed hurts real people. propublica.org/article/evico…

This!!! Just finished up a joint visit with one of my favorite ones! Love Dr. Balmuri (not on Twitter????) and @jayfshay and they can never leave me!

FYI.

Some more info from Ma Petite Shoe on how to help those affected by the Keswick fire.

Just so everybody knows, public criticism/complaining is a perfectly legitimate form of advocacy, even if that is all you have the time and energy for. The worst actors in US Healthcare (PBMs, for example) purposefully shroud themselves in mystery to keep the public and legislators from knowing just how badly they are ruining healthcare. You never know who will see your anecdote about pharmacy clawbacks and have the time and connections to do something about it. Public complaining is education. Education is advocacy.
