I’ve walked through these doors, past this sign, hundreds of times over the last two years. Finally stopped today to read the words. Please share with anyone who might benefit. #StrongerTogether #BeKind @SickKidsNews @trey_coffey_TO @GSomersPath @KMcNaughtonCTS

Glad to see this published - more support for doing away with this sacred cow. @Steecj and me are hopeful to add even more to this formal evidence base in the new year :) #medicationsafety #idc #returntosinglechecking :) qualitysafety.bmj.com/conten…

"Standardization" of clinical behavior before software, devices or working environment, while calling for "patient-centered care". Teamwork training that claims to change 20 years of learned behavior & context in an afternoon. "Speaking up" while insisting you still call me Dr.

Got a little thing published today. Anyone else revisiting the idea of independent double checks?! :) @Steecj @improvementbob

And in the rubble of our foiled plans, in the fog of uncertainty, we keep looking for beauty. That is how civilizations endure, how societies and the human beings that constellate them heal. It may be the only way we do.

We hold on to each other — even if with elbows or sanitized hands or kind words passed across the distance in the dark.

Early mobility doesn't only mean ambulation #PedsICU
During her PICU stay, Laiken & her BRAVE Early Mobility team made a cake. Early mobility is walking, passive motion and slight movements all to help patients return to regular activities ASAP and to decrease time in the PICU, delirium and ventilation. #ICUrehab

If your post-call Pediatric surgeon doesn’t walk up to ECMO rounds and add a smiley face to the terribly drawn patient/circuit you drew for your #PedsICU team, you are missing out. #MedEd #tweetiatrician

My intubated , minimally sedated on precedex, patient wrote me a note this morning thanking me for my professional & caring bedside manner. It saddens me to learn not everyone explains the what & why they’re doing to their patient. Be the nurse you would want caring for you.

So great to spend time in #PedsICU as a “Nurse For a Day.” Got to see how the two hands of one person translate the plans we make into real care for patients, how relationships form b/t patients/fam/nurses, and how we take care of each other as a team. Happy #NursesWeek2019

#Vaccines are one incredibly important way to keep your child healthy and out of the hospital! We love our patients but would prefer that you never need us! #HowVaccinesWork #WhyIVax #PutKids1st
#Parents: While your little ones may feel discomfort after getting vaccinated, the pain is temporary, and the protection is long-term.
In our newest #HowVaccinesWork video, learn from Jack and his parents about what to expect.
