Ethics of Harm Reduction in Pediatrics
Joining together with patients and families in pediatrics can present challenges, particularly when it involves convincing adolescents to follow medical recommendations. There are times when less than ideal compliance to a care plan is undertaken. This can leave clinicians in a confusing situation where they may not know what to do; where they are unsure how to do good for the patient and respect the adolescent's assent and dissent. This can lead us to having to consider a "least worst" option or path forward. On this episode we will talk to clinical ethicist Joel Wu who will talk about the ethical considerations around a "harm reduction" approach to these clinical situations.

Crack the Case: Faltering Growth in a Toddler Lost to Follow Up
All pediatricians have encountered patients lost to follow up where, when finally presenting for well care, reviewing growth and development can be a jarring experience. Certainly social determinants factor in strongly as to why gaps exist and with limited data points and at times periods of different guardianship, putting the pieces together can be even more challenging. We review such a case today in which linear growth velocity in particular has noticeably dipped, touching on broader topics of short stature and how to interpret drifting height percentiles.

Are You Ready For RSV?
Each year in the United States, RSV leads to approximately 2.1 million outpatient visits among children younger than 5 and up to 80,000 hospitalizations. Coming off of a particular brutal RSV season last year, many of us in pediatrics are feeling wary heading into this winter, however, hope is on the horizon as a new RSV vaccine hit the market this fall. Join our conversation with pediatric pulmonologist Dr. Brian Carroll to help you get your practice and your patients ready for RSV season.
