I'll do a quick AMA this afternoon, but to protect my weekend time, I'm going to limit it to the first 15 questions! :)

As always, no personal questions or details.

This is an oldie, but it remains the most-shared post one of my daughters ever made for me. Do you know who has shared it the most? Other pediatricians and pediatric safety advocates. They shared it when it was first posted, and they continue to reshare it years later.

I am proud to be a pediatrician. More often than not, as a specialty, we will never know whether something we counseled our patients or their families about saved a life or prevented an illness. Most of the victories in pediatrics are invisible — the injuries that never happened and the illnesses that never came.

Sometimes the conversations families remember most are the ones about dangers they never knew existed.

Yet we continue to have these conversations over and over again because we follow both the science and our hearts. We speak up not because it is easy or popular, but because children deserve adults willing to protect them.

The day we become too tired to talk about the importance of vaccines, car seats, or amber necklaces is the day we should stop practicing. Until then, we will keep having these conversations — one family, one child, one act of prevention at a time.

I am not tired yet. So buckle your seatbelts. ~Dr. Kim coming to UT Health in Quitman next week.
