Another great piece in the NYTimes! There was also this one today, featuring our own @Paulie and @ssirota.

Pro-pediatric media is at an all-time high!

@docmarcie Thank you for posting! This is a great list of pediatrician concerns… the only one I would have added is the management of chronic disease and behavioral/mental health… I have really appreciated the exhortations from the PMI weekly webinars to not sit by the phone waiting for it to ring, but to proactively reach out to families who might be too afraid or stressed out to realize that we can help them remotely… if we can manage medication refills whether for asthma or for ADHD or anxiety, we are lessening the likelihood that our patients will need care emergently in less controlled situations…

I know I am preaching to the choir, but it felt good to write :blush:
