You Are Healthy Until You Are Not. #publichealth #medicine #healthcare #emergencymedicine #vaccine
The idea healthy people don't need vaccines, medications, or any type of preventative measures is ludicrous. It undermines everything about public health and will increase the rise of chronic disease because more will be missed.

Navigating A Discussion On Vaccines In 2025 #vaccine #publichealth #doctorsofyoutube #medicine

A true vaccine skeptic, however, can be convinced with the right discussion and tools. It's easy to be fooled by all the pseudoscience and grifters, so meeting them in the middle and finding what they know and what their misconceptions are can pave the way for a healthy dialogue.

What parents need to know about febrile seizures. #pediatrics #seizures #febrileseizure #fever
Not all shaking is seizures, and not all seizures are epileptic seizures. A young child between 6 months and 5 years old – with a peak at 18 months – can have seizures when they spike a fever. It's a common reason why parents bring their child into emergency rooms. There are simple febrile seizures and complex febrile seizures. Our job is to determine which type your child has, do they require blood tests and imaging, and can they go home. Fever medications like Tylenol and Motrin do NOT prevent febrile seizures, and simple febrile seizures do not increase their risk of epilepsy later in life. Check with your doctor about any concerning symptoms and always call 911 in the event of any medical emergency.
We need to talk about Thimerosal. Do not believe the lies. #rfkjr #vaccine #pediatrics
RFK's newly formed ACIP Committee recently questioned – and voted on the removal – of Thimerosal in the inclusion of vaccines. The voting was ridiculous, as was the testimony, because it used zero peer-reviewed, well-respected sources during the hearing. Thimerosal was long taken out of childhood vaccines due to fears about its role in Autism; a fear that has long been debunked as false. The hearing from last week's ACIP meeting was full of lies, fear-mongering, and poor science. Our children deserve better than pseudoscience propaganda coming from what was a previously well-respected committee. Interested in learning more?

Buying Ozempic Online? Buyer Beware! #podcast #healthcondition #ozempic
You can buy Ozempic online, without a doctor's order, but is it really worth your health? Ozempic slows down gut motility in addition to stimulating the pancreas to secrete more insulin and lower glucose levels. This can cause side effects ranging from simple nausea and vomiting, all the way to a bowel obstruction. Talk to your doctor before starting any weight loss or diet plan, and be sure you are being appropriately managed while taking Ozempic or any GLP-1 medication. It is not for everyone! Check out more from The JAFERD Cast Episode 7 – The Great Ozempic Debate. Follow me for more medical news, advocacy, and education. Don't take my word for it though, I'm Just Another Frickin ER Doctor after all.
