Just heard from a colleague that “insurance companies hate it” when I Tweet about them denying drugs for my patients So I will absolutely continue to do so They’ve got fax machines, we’ve got social media, & they can’t stop us from calling out inappropriate coverage decisions

Good showing from the @childrenswi spina bifida team at the @sbwis Sprint for Spina Bifida! Always nice to support families outside of clinic and raise money to improve the lives of those with spina bifida throughout Wisconsin.

Our responsibility to our patients shouldn't end at an arbitrary age cutoff. Pediatric neurosurgeons should see themselves as congenital neurosurgeons providing lifespan care. Check our out editorial @TheJNS Focus. @Jpb1007Jeffrey @MJClarkeMD thejns.org/focus/view/journa…

“Wonder = joy + awe” @jaywellons5 suggests that we can get so mired in the mechanics of our jobs (e.g. charting in the EMR) that we lose sight of the things about medicine that are truly remarkable: the fathomless depths of the body’s complexity, the privilege of healing #asco24

Proud of our @NeoConsortium Neurosurgery Focus Group's project describing types of surgical interventions and short-term outcomes in this large North American cohort of preterm infants with #PHH. Read more details at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3869…. @susancohen06

There was significant intercentre variation in rate of intervention, which may reflect variability in care or referral patterns. Rate of PS placement in infants with TDs was 66%.
