Itch Alert: Little Ones and Lice Hey good people, let’s talk about my first patient today and their itchy and unwanted guests – LICE! 🫨 ‼️DO NOT PANIC, it’s not great, but here is a plan and some hints: They are contagious, and lice spread via head-to-head contact. So, all that hugging, wrestling, and playing that your little one is doing with their friends – that’s probably how they got it. The good thing is they don’t spread disease; they can’t jump, they can’t fly, and they can only live for about 1 to 2 days off the body. What that means is applying the proper treatment, treating close contacts, vacuuming, and putting contaminated items in the laundry will go a long way toward having a lice-free home. Did you know that lice can hold their breath and they have an iron grip on hair? That means you can’t wash them away by shampooing with normal shampoo. It also means that lice are not a sign of being dirty. If there’s a lice outbreak at school, just know it’s not uncommon. Medicine used with a very special comb will help get rid of the infestation. Also, remember to talk to your child in an age-appropriate manner about what would happen. Lice can be embarrassing for children and are still a highly stigmatized condition. They should know it’s not their fault, and this could happen to anybody. Lice is just a consequence of having a healthy, happy and communal childhood. . . . . #itchyscalp #itchyhead #DrDParentingChronicles #SleepDeprivedSuperhero #ParentingAdventures #DrDInsights #ChildHealth #ImmuneSystemRocks #WellnessRevolution

Clever and effective - let’s get this circulated.
This is the one advert you should be watching this Christmas Did you know the day of the year with the most cardiac arrests? No I didn't either but it turns out to be ... Christmas Day. And yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing the absolutely fabulous Vicki Maguire the creative mind behind the British Heart Foundation Ad featuring Vinny Jones As an industry we wang on about purpose and how many pencils or lions we might have won but this ad can be measured by an altogether higher purpose Lives saved. Vicki told me they know of at least 80 people alive today because someone watched the Ad. She has even heard 999 call centre staff talking someone through resuscitation and hearing them do it whilst singing staying alive. Now that's effectiveness for you. So whilst I am the first one to celebrate the wonderful Christmas ads this year I want to create a petition to convince ITV Media and BHF to put this ad on prime time Christmas day Anyone want to join me? It might just save lives. Nils Leonard Hungry Man Claire Sadler Kate Waters

Healthcare Business Review thank you for posting! As #healthcare adds increased focus on value-based care, the importance of cash pay options for patients is very important. Cash pay options for specialty and primary care services (such as direct primary and specialty care) offers patients better access and better affordability for their healthcare. Cash pay options can empower patients to seek timely care and have greater control over their options. In sports medicine, transparent and streamlined healthcare experiences allow patients/athletes to not only find accessible care when they need it (injuries) but also can provide options for patients/athletes to stay ahead of their injuries with expert led injury prevention programs. #Healthcare #PatientCare #QualityHealthcare #Prevention #MusculoskeletalHealth #PatientExperience #SportsMedicine
Scott Kleppe, DO, Medical Director, Sports Medicine at Driscoll Children’s Hospital contributed an article Integrating Cash Pay Options With Sports Medicine For Enhanced Care Accessible And Preventative Sports Medicine Our sports medicine programs have significant connections within our communities, allowing us to collaborate with school districts and other local organizations to provide access to programs dedicated to athlete health. Says Scott Kleppe The article will also be featured in the forthcoming special print edition on Sports Medicine 2024.

Most people report feeling powerless to act in a cardiac emergency. As a teacher, I have seen this happen in real life. If it were not for 2 of our amazing Dealey teachers, it would have been fatal. As part of the American Heart Association’s Teen of Impact campaign, I want to change that and spread the word that you can help save a life.
