What happens when parents no longer have full access to their child’s medical information? Tudor Dixon is joined by Alleigh Marré, Executive Director of the American Parents Coalition, for a conversation about parental rights, pediatric medical privacy, and the role parents play in major health decisions involving their children. Tudor and Alleigh discuss policies that can limit parental access to some adolescent medical information, the American Academy of Pediatrics and its approach to gender-related care, and the broader debate over confidentiality between doctors and minors. They also examine Planned Parenthood, cross-sex hormones, youth sports, schools, summer camps, and the political battles surrounding gender policy. Plus, Alleigh explains what parents can ask their pediatricians, schools, sports organizations, and elected officials—and why she believes mothers and fathers need to become more involved in decisions affecting their children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nobody trains a sponge. You leave it in the sink, and it takes on whatever is in there: the dishwater, the coffee grounds, the cereal milk somebody poured out at breakfast. Kids work about the same way. The sit-down conversation about investing and saving goes nowhere. What lands is the endless Amazon boxes on the porch, the credit card handed over without a care in the world, and the "sure, go ahead" that arrives before the money question is finished. In a house like yours, the thing they are soaking up is that money does not appear to run out. It all comes back out when you squeeze it. Like the time Nate's boys asked his mother-in-law why she doesn't get a nicer car. We also answer questions from your colleagues. A Pediatrician in Oregon writes, “My husband and I both make good money, and we cannot agree on anything. He wants to save every dollar, and I want to actually use some of it. Who's right?” A mid-career physician in the Midwest asks, “What are the pros and cons of taking out a variable universal life insurance policy as a mid-career physician? An OBGYN in New Hampshire says, “I started with a hospital group mid-year last year because they offered me my dream setup: it was a short commute, pay and benefits were competitive, and the culture was exactly what I was looking for. They just got acquired this year, and everything has changed. Is it worth it for me to switch to locums at this point?” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into a plan for college and retirement?

Mallory Fletcher took her 5 year old son Nolan to his Pediatrician for his annual physical in October of 2025. Nolan was feeling fine and had no visible health issues but while feeling Nolan's abdomen, his pediatrician felt that it was abnormally hard. Acting quickly, Mallory was told to take Nolan to the Emergency room of a local hospital and a large tumor was found that was covering much of Nolan's abdomen. The diagnosis was given of Ganglioneuroblastoma and Nolan is currently undergoing treatment at the Oklahoma University's Children's Hospital as well as at the Memorial Sloan Kettering's Cancer Center. Nolan's cancer is stable, it has not metastisized, and he has not had to receive any chemotherapy, but questions still remain about how Nolan will undergo his future treatment. 

Dr. Sandra Hassink is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Zmuda, Associate Dean of Health Systems and Operations at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. Together, they discuss the new AAP Policy Statement, "The Role of the Pediatrician to Promote Effective Approaches for Child and Adolescent Nutrition in Schools." They examine the foundational role of school nutrition, the social and emotional component of school meals, and how pediatricians can empower families and peers to learn more and support school nutrition.

This week we note and mourn the passing of pediatric cardiologist and thought leader Dr. Steven Lipshultz who passed on September 4, 2026. Dr. Lipshultz was one of the most significant cardiologists of the past half century and his contributions to the fields of pediatric cardiomyopathy, HIV cardiomyopathy and cardio-oncology were gigantic and meaningful. This week we turn back the clock and review a landmark work of Dr. Lipshultz from the Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Registry that was published in 2003 in the NEJM and we speak with 3 pediatric cardiomyopathy experts as well as friends and colleagues of Dr. Lipshultz - namely Dr. Neha Bansal of NYU, Dr. Daphne Hsu of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Dr. Joseph Rossano of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Each shares their remembrances of this work and provide insights into the legacy of Dr. Lipshultz. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa021715.

Dr. Trevor Cabrera, the self-described Nomadic Pediatrician, first joined us on Episode 4 as a new resident who chose locum tenens as his very first job. Six years later he's back at a pivotal moment, having used locums strategically at two big transitions, straight out of residency and again after his neonatology fellowship, and now stepping into a permanent role. In this episode, Dr. Cabrera talks about how locums helped him pay off his student debt in three years, why that freedom reshaped how he thinks about his career, and how he sees locums as a smart bridge between chapters of a life in medicine, without losing sight of why he became a doctor.Enjoyed this episode?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, DR. BROWN IS BACK!! We start where you'd expect: toilet training (you guys know this is overtaking our brains lately). Alex gets a live check-in on Tate's progress (verdict: she's in the "warm up phase"), and Dr. Brown drops the reframe every potty training parent needs to hear: it's the CHILD'S milestone, not the parent's.. so when they're ready, it happens in about a day (WHAT?!). Plus her honest take on pull-ups, and the nighttime potty training news that shocked us. Then the important stuff: the measles outbreak (including the recent Austin case and what early symptoms actually look like), cold & flu season prep, which medications are appropriate at which ages, and when seasonal allergies actually start (+ her Vegas bet on the "it's just allergies" toddler.. hahaha). Plus her takes on OUR recent debates: toddler ear piercing and video games around kids, because she knows a whole lot more than us!!! And then YOUR questions (baby then toddler): the 4 month sleep regression (she calls it a progression and we're never saying regression again), when baby moves out of your room (her answer is different than you might think!), sudden bottle refusal, the car seat hater, the toddler who eats like a bird, the "bridging" trick for meat refusers, the teeth brushing battle, and what to watch for when your climber takes a fall. WOW we learned a ton. DISCLAIMER: This episode is for general informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8661BAMBOLE TRANS PER BIMBI DI 4 ANNIdi Giuliano Guzzo La buona notizia è che l'ideologia gender risulta effettivamente in frenata. Dopo aver sposato le battaglie arcobaleno molti marchi hanno incassato batoste economiche, diverse produzioni televisive estere pro Lgbt ultimamente non sono state rinnovate e l'identità transgender, negli Usa dove tante tendenze hanno inizio, risulta in calo. Tuttavia, chi sposa l'antropologia fluida - questa è la cattiva notizia - non si arrende. Anzi, rilancia con nuove trovate davanti alle quali è difficile non restare perplessi. Ne è un esempio un progetto dell'Università del Minnesota per la creazione di bambole transgender «terapeutiche» destinate a bambini a partire dai 4 anni. Si tratta di prodotti pensati «per bambini di età compresa tra i 4 e i 10 anni» dei quali abbiamo solo delle prime bozze grafiche, ma che comunque - pare - verranno lanciati ufficialmente quest'anno. In effetti, esiste un sito - eloquente fin dal nome, Mygenderdolls.com - che esplicitamente invita «ad iscriversi alla lista d'attesa» dato il «lancio previsto nel 2026».Da quanto è dato sapere, queste bambole - che dalle prime bozze mostrano davvero un aspetto inquietante, altro che «terapeutiche» - sono l'esito, come si diceva, di un progetto universitario; per l'esattezza di un progetto pluriennale portato avanti dai docenti dell'Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health dell'università. Alcuni link sul sito non funzionano ancora e c'è chi ha provato a contattare il portale, come il sito Collegefix.com, per il momento senza ottenere ulteriori chiarimenti su questi giocattoli che è difficile non giudicare sconvolgenti; e non solo per l'estetica, come già detto, tutt'altro che gradevole. Quel che infatti più colpisce di questo progetto sono le finalità sottese, vale a dire, anzitutto, quella di attribuire un'identità fluida o incerta a bimbi di appena 4 anni; e in secondo luogo, quella più in generale di diffondere l'idea - perfino tra i piccoli che si sentono maschi o femmine - che non si è solo maschi o femmine, ma possano esistere «terze identità», per così dire. Quentin Van Meter, presidente uscente dell'American College of Pediatricians, avvicinato da Collegefix.com, ha affermato che minori di età compresa tra i 3 e i 7 anni che venissero persuasi a credere che il sesso possa essere cambiato diventeranno «confusi» e «vulnerabili all'ansia». Difficile dubitarne.A ciò si aggiunga che queste bambole (udite udite) «pensate per medici o per educatori» rappresentano uno strumento chiaramente favorevole all'«affermazione di genere», in un periodo storico non solo di ripensamento internazionale sulla transizione dei minori ma anche di pubblicazioni scientifiche che ne evidenziano i rischi. Come quelli richiamati in uno studio scientifico pubblicato ad aprile sulla rivista Acta Paediatrica - esito di un'analisi di oltre 2.000 persone monitorate per un lasso di tempo di 23 anni, tra il 1996 e il 2019 - ha messo in luce come la transizione peggiori, anziché migliorarla, la salute dei giovani con disforia. Non è finita. A fine maggio anche un altro lavoro pubblicato sull'European Journal of Developmental Psychology aveva sollevato forti perplessità sul cosiddetto «protocollo olandese», che è il modello terapeutico secondo cui - quando il disallineamento fra genere percepito e biologico, che a volte insorge nella prima infanzia, persiste - si può interrompere lo sviluppo bloccando la pubertà sin dalla fase iniziale, per «guadagnare tempo», e poter quindi decidere con calma la propria identità di genere, senza «l'ostacolo» del corpo in crescita.Chiaro che in un contesto simile le bambole transgender siano qualcosa non solo di inopportuno, ma perfino potenzialmente pericoloso. Non pare infine inutile ribadire un ultimo aspetto. Veniamo da anni nei quali ai giocattoli sessualmente tipizzati - quelli cioè considerati «tipicamente maschili» o «tipicamente femminili» - è stata fatta quasi una guerra, esortando i genitori ad acquistare il più possibile giocattoli neutri se non addirittura a regalare giocattoli «maschili» alle bambine e «femminili» ai bambini; e tutto questo per scardinare i temibili stereotipi di genere dei quali anche una bambola rosa sarebbe effigie e megafono. Bene, ma allora come la mettiamo con le bambole transgender? Non è forse anche questo un modo - ammesso e non concesso possa esserci qualche insidia, nel regalare ai piccoli la bambola rosa o la navicella spaziale blu - per veicolare stereotipi, oltre che per rendere dei bambini «confusi» e «vulnerabili all'ansia»? Sarebbe interessante capirlo. Perché secondo un certo modo di guardare il tema dell'identità sessuale e dei ruoli, esisterebbero solo gli stereotipi di genere; mentre quelli pro gender, chissà perché, andrebbero benissimo.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday and happy Labor Day!! Confession: we cut our first-ever weekend away from both kids a night short. Zero regrets after the morning we had… Tate climbed into bed with us, said "mama hand, dada hand," and held both ❤️ (one of the many fun things she learned over a weekend with Grandma!!)  As for the trip: our official US Open review is in, and it's hands down the BEST sporting event in the world for a casual sports fan. There's a whole tennis village!! Free Junior matches you can walk right up to, restaurants, shops.. and yes, we got the $100 chicken nugget box. Six pieces. SIX. The nuggets themselves? Phenomenal. The count? Unforgivable. Before NYC, Harrison did his HYROX.. and all four of the dads CRUSHED it. For any dads listening, Harrison officially recommends doing one: 1) it takes way less time to train for than a marathon, and 2) they do a great job of making you feel like a professional athlete (which, as it turns out, is all any man has ever wanted). We also compare spectating notes: HYROX lets you get right next to the sled pushes vs. marathon makes you do a scavenger hunt across a city for one wave hahaha And of course, it's not a trip without some travel drama: we witnessed the most LAWLESS airport line of our lives at JFK & (we have thoughts on line-cutting etiquette). Before all of that.. we took a ROBOTAXI to recording today!! Austin is officially market one, and we came prepared: the full experience review,  price myth-busting, and the big debate Harrison's timeline can't stop fighting about: what happens to Uber when the robotaxi has its own app? Onto the parenting topic: kids ear piercing, part two. Some pediatricians pierce ears IN OFFICE?! Plus the case for piercing parlors over the mall gun (Jules has the cartilage story), and where we've officially landed for Tate. And the fun corner: Alex reviews Earle Meets World and explains the entire family tree (you need a whiteboard), football season is officially here (which is why we can't commit to DWTS.. yet), and the craziest dish we have EVER been served at a restaurant.

This week we take a step back in time 4 years ago to recall when we spoke with noted cardiovascular surgeon Dr. John J. Lamberti who is Associate Professor of Surgery at Stanford University. Dr. Lamberti's career has spanned from the time of Dr. Robert Gross in the 1960's to present day with Dr. Frank Hanley and the team in Stanford. His career perfectly mirrors the transition from the 'old days' of cardiac surgery up until the present modern age and he shares his reminiscences of working with Dr. Robert Gross, Dr. Aldo Castaneda, Dr. Maurice Lev, Dr. Roberta Williams, Dr. Nadas and others. He also shares his thoughts on how to be a good mentor and what that takes from someone who has mentored many surgeons in the past 5 decades.

Dr. Carole Keim welcomes internationally certified baby sleep consultant and founder of the Yawn Baby Sleep platform, Camille Jaramis, for an insightful conversation about baby sleep in the first two years of life. Together, they explore how newborn sleep differs from infant sleep, what really happens during the four-month sleep regression, and why developmental changes, like the Wonder Weeks, can temporarily disrupt even the best sleeper. Camille explains the difference between self-soothing and self-settling, and why flexibility and age-appropriate expectations are so important for both babies and parents. Camille and Dr. Keim also explore the cultural pressures many families face around sleep schedules, maternity leave, and “sleep training,” offering reassurance that there is no one perfect way to help a baby sleep. Camille shares practical guidance on sleep environments, including light exposure, white versus pink noise, and safe sleep basics, along with insights into how her AI-powered sleep support tool, Yawn, helps parents personalize sleep plans based on their baby's unique temperament and developmental stage. Most importantly, Dr. Keim and Camille remind parents to give themselves grace, because healthy sleep is a journey, and every family's path looks a little different.

Why do some kids seem to get stuck in a cycle of eczema, allergies, asthma, and one health issue after another and what can you actually do to change it? In this episode, I sit down with holistic-minded pediatrician Dr. Carole Keim to talk about what's happening beneath these symptoms, including the connection between eczema, allergies and asthma, the enormous role of the gut microbiome and why the foods and exposures your child encounters early in life can matter so much. We also get incredibly practical: picky eaters, building more diversity into your child's diet, natural approaches to everyday childhood illnesses and simple ways to support your child's health without turning your entire life upside down. Eczema is nuanced and multifaceted, but you have far more power to influence your child's health than you may realize. The key is knowing which pieces matter for your child—and what to address first.

McKenna West was pressured to abort baby Gabriel due to a diagnosis of a heart condition. She fled to Texas, gave birth, and because of legal interventions, baby Gabriel is alive and undergoing treatment.

President Trump signed an executive order earlier this month to limit the vaccine schedule to 11 immunizations. Trump directed officials to review the timing and sequencing of vaccinations. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), heavily criticized the decision, warning that it lacks scientific backing, creates unnecessary hurdles for parents, and leaves children vulnerable to preventable diseases.

Ohio's child immunization rates are dropping amid major measles outbreakBack to school season is upon us, sparking concerns over the increased number of children returning to Ohio's classrooms unvaccinated. The number of kindergarteners nationally with exemptions has risen 18% since last year to 4% of all kindergarten students, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Vaccinations are a controversial topic nationally, with the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being a strong advocate against immunization. As the country has seen a resurgence in measles, even he has changed his tune, urging families to vaccinate against the disease that was once considered eradicated. In Ohio, 109 measles cases have been reported, according to the Ohio Department of Health's summary of infectious diseased dashboard. That's over double the number of cases for all of 2025. 24 reports were made in both Geauga and Ashtabula counties alone, which also have some of the highest nonmedical immunization exemption rates in the state. Guests:- Mark Evans, M.D., Pediatrician, Akron Children's Pediatrics, Brecksville- Valerie Wallace, RN, Public Health Communicable Health Disease Nurse, Tuscarawas County Health Department OhioSEE program expands access to children's vision careIn January, the Ohio Department of Health launched the Ohio Student Eye Exam program, also known as Ohio SEE, hoping to reduce the number of children in the state with untreated vision problems. Despite schools providing free vision screening to students starting in elementary school, 35,000 students who needed glasses in the 2022-2023 school year did not get them, according to the Ohio Department of Health. Vision problems are common in children, and the sooner they can be treated the better. Guests:- Bruce T.

Could One Page Change Your Child's School Year? A Free Tool to Help the Adults in Their World Truly Understand Them If you're the parent of an autistic or ADHD child, you know how exhausting it can be to explain your child to every new teacher, therapist, physician, coach, tutor, or camp counselor. You hope they'll understand your child's strengths, communication style, sensory needs, executive functioning challenges, and what helps them thrive—but those conversations don't always happen the way you'd hoped. In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I'm introducing a brand-new FREE resource designed to make those conversations easier. The Get to Know My Child Snapshot is a one-page, fillable tool that helps the adults in your child's world understand who they are before assumptions, misunderstandings, or unnecessary struggles begin. Whether your child is autistic, ADHD, or both, this practical resource can help create stronger relationships, reduce anxiety, and support better outcomes at school, in therapy, at medical appointments, during extracurricular activities, and beyond. As a psychologist who has spent nearly three decades supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and their families, I've seen firsthand how understanding changes everything. When adults understand why a child communicates differently, struggles with executive functioning, experiences sensory overload, or responds in unexpected ways, they're far more likely to respond with compassion, support, and effective accommodations instead of frustration or correction. In this episode, you'll learn: Why autistic and ADHD children often begin the school day already feeling anxious or overwhelmed. How misunderstandings can increase anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and school avoidance. Why communication differences are often mistaken for defiance, disrespect, or lack of motivation. How sensory differences and executive functioning challenges affect learning, participation, and emotional regulation. Why understanding a child's strengths is just as important as understanding their challenges. How therapists can use the Get to Know My Child Snapshot to support self-awareness, self-advocacy, and collaboration with families. How one simple tool can help teachers, therapists, physicians, coaches, tutors, camp counselors, and other caregivers better support autistic and ADHD children. What's Included in the FREE Get to Know My Child Snapshot? Your download includes: Three one-page fillable PDF formats. Completed examples to make completing the Snapshot simple. Sections for strengths and interests. Communication preferences. Executive functioning. Sensory needs. Emotional regulation. Social interaction. Helpful supports and accommodations. Behavior as communication. It takes about five minutes to complete and can be updated as your child grows and their needs change. This Episode Is Perfect For: Parents of autistic and ADHD children and teens. Mental health therapists, psychologists, counselors, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. Teachers, school counselors, and other educators. Pediatricians and medical professionals. Coaches, tutors, camp counselors, caregivers, and anyone who supports neurodivergent children.

What Pediatricians Do Every Day That's Great—and Nobody Knows About (with Dr. Lisa Cronin)On The Pediatric Lounge, hosts interview Dr. Lisa Cronin, a general pediatrician and chief marketing officer at Children's Medical Center, a 17-physician independent practice in the Tampa Bay area with four locations and about 50,000 patients, 40% Medicaid, open 362 days a year with extensive after-hours access and an integrated behavioral health component in Pinellas County through a Juvenile Welfare Board partnership. Cronin describes her path from intending emergency medicine to pediatrics, briefly training in anesthesiology, and choosing primary care for continuity and relationships, while discussing why general pediatrics can be more challenging than controlled inpatient settings. The conversation covers maintaining culture across offices, generational communication, marketing and digital presence, business education, efficiency as reducing pain points without sacrificing quality, and resisting private equity consolidation. Cronin shares how a conference talk on early type 1 diabetes screening led her to identify a 10-year-old with abnormal A1c/glucose and positive antibodies, refer to endocrinology, and confront family reluctance about further testing and treatment.00:00 Podcast Intro00:39 Meet Dr Lisa Cronin01:12 Why Pediatrics02:10 Inside Her Practice04:28 Hospitals And Coverage07:41 Detour Into Anesthesia10:44 Why General Peds Is Hard14:37 Culture Across Offices17:35 Information Overload And Trust25:01 Chief Marketing Officer Role31:40 Marketing Meets Modern Pediatrics34:04 Hiring Accountability And Work Ethic36:00 Part Time Scheduling Wins37:20 Flexibility Beats Rigidity38:47 Weekend Coverage Reality39:34 Motivating Future Partners43:02 Leadership Explaining The Why46:58 Private Equity Misconceptions49:16 Efficiency Without Volume54:13 OP Engage Diabetes Screening56:03 Case Finding Early Type 101:04:10 Why Screening Matters01:06:25 Conference Hook And Hope01:07:55 Wrap Up And FarewellSupport the show

When adults look back on school, they often remember more than lessons and worksheets. They remember recess — the playground, movement, friendships, laughter and freedom. Yet in many schools today, recess can be one of the most negotiable parts of the school day. It may be shortened, delayed or withheld in favor of academics, structure or behavior management. But research continues to show that recess is far more than a break. Regular opportunities for play and movement support children's physical health, mental well-being, social development, and ability to learn. Pediatricians are uniquely positioned to keep play, movement and recess part of the conversation about child health.  We're joined by two experts from Children's Hospital Colorado: Amanda Lopez, a school health nurse, and Eve Kutchman, a prevention education and outreach manager. Together, they share insights into the role of recess in children's health and development and how pediatricians can advocate for making play a priority.  Some highlights from this episode include: The health benefits of recess that go beyond a "break" from learning How movement and play support children's physical, emotional and social health What children may lose when recess is shortened, delayed or withheld How health care professionals can help keep recess visible in conversations about child health This episode is underwritten by Ovintiv, proud philanthropic supporter of Charting Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation. Ovintiv recognizes that their responsibility begins in the communities where they live and work. They are committed to giving back and building safer and more resilient communities. Ovintiv's generous support has made a monumental difference for our patients and families, from enhancing health outcomes to reducing health disparities.

This week we speak with Dr. Ted O'Leary, Co-Director of Adult Congenital Heart Disease Electrophysiology at Boston Children's Hospital about a recent publication he authored on the use of pulsed field ablation (PFA) for the transcatheter ablation management of complex atrial arrhythmias in ACHD patients. How does PFA work and what are some of the potential advantages and disadvantages of this novel ablation energy technology? What are the advantages of a variable loop catheter in this setting? Is PFA going to supplant radiofrequency current for standard "SVT" ablations one day? These are amongst the questions reviewed with Dr. O'Leary this week. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCEP.125.014619

When your child is sick or hurt and it's nine o'clock at night, how do you decide where to go? The emergency room? Urgent care? Or can it wait until morning? For most parents, that moment of uncertainty is one of the hardest parts of raising kids — and making the wrong call can feel terrifying.

The medical examiner opened today's testimony in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Dr. Kimberley Springer walked the courtroom through the autopsy of the youngest victim, Callan. Cause of death: complications from mechanical asphyxiation, strangulation by ligature. There's no softening that, and the prosecution didn't try to.What followed complicated the picture rather than simplifying it. Pediatrician Dr. Lindsay Rosshart testified she'd examined all three children and never saw signs of postpartum depression in Clancy. Under cross-examination, she went on record saying Clancy was a good mom. That's the kind of testimony that doesn't fit neatly into either side's narrative, and it's exactly why the defense wanted it in front of the jury.A preschool teacher from Learning Sprouts, Susan Fraone, rounded out the day with a smaller detail — drop-offs had been difficult for Dawson. It's a minor moment in a trial full of much larger ones, but the defense may lean on it as evidence something was off in the household before anyone recognized how badly.Prosecutors are still expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing that day. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three witnesses took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.The clinical parts of this case are the hardest to sit through, and today didn't spare anyone. Dr. Kimberley Springer, the medical examiner, testified to the autopsy findings for Callan — cause of death was complications from mechanical asphyxiation, strangulation by ligature. Clinical language for something that shouldn't need a definition.Then came the pediatrician, Dr. Lindsay Rosshart, who'd seen all three kids and, by her account, saw nothing alarming in Clancy either — no signs of postpartum depression, and on cross-examination she went further, calling Clancy a good mom. That's the tension this trial keeps circling back to: a woman everyone around her says looked fine, and three children who are dead.Susan Fraone, a preschool teacher at Learning Sprouts, added a smaller but pointed detail — drop-offs were hard for Dawson. Whether that means anything beyond a toddler having a rough morning is for the jury to decide.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

This week we review a recent book entitled Reimagining a Child's Heart: The Lone Pines of Congenital Cardiology which was recently published by Springer and which was authored by Dr. Thomas J. Kulik and Dr. Macdonald Dick. Drs. Kulik and Dick recount the innumerable steps in discovery that led to what the authors view as one of the pinnacles of achievement in our field, namely the palliation of children with HLHS and single ventricle disease. Dr. Kulik tragically passed suddenly in 2021 but his friend and colleague Dr. Dick completed the book that Dr. Kulik had spent over a decade toiling over.
