👋🏽 hi #medsky #neosky! Excited to see what this platform is all about. I’m a new attending neonatologist passionate about all things #healthequity in the #NICU. Fingers crossed that this thing doesn’t get taken over by bots and inaccurate ads.
Some favorites from the #nokings protest in Los Feliz - I love my neighborhood!
Great talks by my @keck.usc.edu colleagues at CHLA Best Starts to Life today! Such important work, from biomarkers to NIRS data to feeding devices, all to improve baby outcomes! #neosky

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

You know being a healthcare worker has been rough recently when watching the Pitt acceptance speech for best drama saying “protect [healthcare workers], trust them” legit brings tears to my eyes. #emmys

AAP's immunization recommendations are based only in the science, the needs of children, and the care that pediatricians have for the children in every community. If you have any questions about our recommended schedule, reach out to your pediatrician.

I am excited for the #USOpen but so irritated by the new mixed doubles format. Rooting for Errani and all the real doubles players! 🎾

“L.A. is ours, this is our city. This is what my morning walk turned into. They’re terrorizing our neighborhood.” — a local man who was taking his morning walk when ICE staged a military invasion of MacArthur Park.

APHA, AAP, ACP, IDSA, SMFM, and the Mass. Public Health Alliance sue RFK Jr and HHS over Covid vaccine guidance. A pregnant woman is a plaintiff as well, which hopefully gives them standing.
BREAKING: Six leading medical organizations filed a lawsuit on Monday against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, and the health dept, charging that recent decisions limiting access to vaccines were unscientific and harmful to the public.

This is NOT NORMAL. I don’t even know what to say.
This is Macarthur Park in Los Angeles. Republicans have turned the United States in a military police state. I could not even imagine what Fox and Republicans would be saying if Biden or Obama sent the US military to terrorize communities in Texas.

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

I remember what it was like before the ACA was enacted. So many people couldn’t get on Medicaid and so they couldn’t get what they needed. I could see patients for free but how could I get them their life saving meds? Those were bad times. Medicaid is good for families and for healthcare systems.
My daughter relies on Medicaid.

We don't "get" Medicaid.
We don't receive a check from Medicaid.

Medicaid covers her life-saving medical expenses.
Medicaid is health insurance.
Medicaid is health care.

That's what Medicaid is.

And that's why we need our senators to #VoteNo and #ProtectMedicaid.
