Well, since there are so many new people here, maybe it’s time for a re-#introduction.
I’m a pediatric gastroenterologist in with clinical interests in #intestinalfailure #CF and #nutrition. I’m also a program director and into all things #MedEd, especially #FOAMed. I co-host the @bowelsounds podcast and do social media for JPGN (not yet on Mastodon).
I’m loving the great sense of community here, and I’m here for all the great #MedMastodon #Gastrodon #MedEdadon people joining in droves!
@DrJSilverman @bowelsounds -Welxome. We are gald you are here. #MedMastodon #MentoringInHealthcare #Fediverse #fedi22
@DrJSilverman @bowelsounds Great to be here with you! Are you seeing patients with GI symptoms due to Long Covid? If so, what can help them? Asking for my son.
@bowelsounds @doggonenuts Hi there. Thanks for the friendly hello! I’m sorry, but I don’t provide any medical advice on social media platforms. If you haven’t already, I would suggest reviewing with your son’s primary care doc and see if together you think a consult by a gastroenterologist could be helpful. Hoping you find the help he needs!
@DrJSilverman @bowelsounds thank you. Understandable. He does see a gastroenterologist and all other causes have been ruled out. Treating symptomatically, which GI Doc says would be the same whether idiopathic or LC. Have a great day!
@DrJSilverman @bowelsounds something also really satisfying about knowing a gastroenterologist is here to do a heap of toots...#dadjoke #welcome #betteroutthanin
@DrJSilverman @bowelsounds #Gastrodon is such a creative name!
