Max and Matt dive into the wild world of sick kids: the endless fluids, missed days at daycare, and the looming question of how much sickness is too much. They talk about everything from preventing illness to navigating the tricky moments when it strikes, including handling fevers, the viral load theory, and whether it's okay to send your kid back to daycare with a little Tylenol. Max shares his unconventional (and controversial) approach to keeping his family from getting sick, and the guys explore how the balance between taking care of your kids and taking care of your work responsibilities can lead to some seriously complicated decisions. Plus, they discuss the fine line between being a concerned parent and overthinking it.

Being a teenager is hard. So, imagine for a moment that in addition to everything else that teenagers have to endure, you're a teenager who's been diagnosed with MS. Your ability to participate in after-school activities or just hang out with your friends is impacted by MS-related fatigue. The typical adolescent anxiety over something someone posted on social media evolves into depression. And cognitive issues begin to make it harder for you in the classroom. This is an unfortunate reality for many adolescents who are living with MS. Joining me to discuss how MS affects adolescents and how families can help manage MS is Dr. Ann Yeh. Dr. Yeh is a Professor of Pediatric Neurology at the University of Toronto and the director of the MS and Neuroinflammatory Disorders Program and Fellowship Program at the University of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, known as SickKids.  We'll also tell you about a new online resource for MS care partners. We'll share the results of a study that explored how different symptom management responsibilities impact MS care partners. We'll share details of a study that demonstrated positive results in improving MS-related fatigue. We'll tell you about the discovery of a plant-based molecule that is showing promise in promoting myelin repair. And we're sharing surprising research results that have more than doubled the prevalence of MS in Australia. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

What if a childhood filled with unexplained symptoms could finally find clarity years later? In this emotional and powerful episode, we journey with Jodi as she takes us through the highs and lows of her lupus diagnosis. From the age of four, Jodi's life was a whirlwind of mysterious rashes, fatigue, and pain. It wasn't until she was 13, with the help of the dedicated rheumatology team at SickKids in Toronto, that her family's relentless quest for answers finally bore fruit. Jodi shares how her parents' fierce advocacy and the support of persistent healthcare professionals made all the difference, turning confusion into understanding and hope.In an inspiring discussion, we explore the creation of "Fabulupus," a groundbreaking book written by two young adults with lupus. This crucial resource aims to help young people navigate the complexities of living with chronic health conditions. We delve into the practical advice the book offers on relationships, education, and workplace rights. Jodi and I exchange thoughts on the importance of personal stories in guiding others, and we provide tips for aspiring authors looking to make an impact in the chronic illness community. The chapter underscores the power of support groups and connecting with relevant organizations to foster a sense of belonging and shared experience.Our conversation also highlights strategies for managing lupus day-to-day. Jodi emphasizes the significance of mindfulness, self-care, and building relationships with consistent healthcare providers. From breathing exercises to using practical gadgets like automatic can openers and sit-to-stand desks, we discuss tools that can simplify life with lupus. We wrap up by reflecting on how living with a chronic condition shapes one's perspective, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique journeys with grace and self-compassion.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on sisters sewing for a good cause.

Before he was even born, baby Rowan Thomas had to fight for his life. Rowan was born with a rare condition: Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. It affects 1 in every 33-hundred births in Canada. Rowan was born on January 30th, and since then, he's had to endure surgery, a feeding tube, and more pokes and prods than most adults face in a lifetime. He's now four months old, and is finally able to come home from Toronto to meet his family. Mary Rankin is Rowan's grandmother, and she joined us on the line today from Coley's Point.

Do working parents need more sick leave?  The conversation has arisen again, Frog Recruitment polling more than 1,700 office workers, 969 of which were working parents, to find out.  The poll revealed that 625 are coming to work sick after running out of leave, and 46% of parents use their own sick leave to stay at home with an ill child.  Frog Recruitment Managing Director Shannon Barlow told Mike Hosking that businesses don't necessarily need to allocate more than ten days of sick leave, but rather to work with their employees to find something that works for everyone.  She said that it's an issue when you've got to not only be able to take care of yourself and your family, and the people around you at work.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As moms, we want to do everything we can to help our kids prevent sickness and feel better faster, which is why I'm thrilled to welcome a very special guest today, Dr. Elana Roumell, a renowned pediatric naturopathic doctor, mother of three, and the brains behind the innovative Med School for Moms. Dr. Roumell not only co-hosts the popular Doctor Mom Podcast, but she's also the founder of Nourish Medical Center in San Diego, California. Her Doctor Mom Membership program helps moms feel calm, competent, and confident when their kid gets sick, and ultimately helps parents feel empowered with their family's healthcare decisions.In today's episode, we delve deep into the world of children's health, exploring holistic and homeopathic remedies. Dr. Roumell shares her expert knowledge on treating common childhood conditions, like ear infections, with natural methods by helping parents understand their causes. We discuss the different types of natural medicine, their roles, and easy home hacks – particularly in managing fevers and colds without traditional medication. A topic that has been a source of anxiety for me and many moms, especially in states with mandates, is vaccines. Dr. Roumell provides incredibly helpful insights into vaccine education, including delayed schedules and strategies to prevent adverse reactions. She also emphasizes the importance of informed dietary choices during illness, particularly avoiding sugar and dairy, and even shares her top recommendations for pediatric supplements to enhance immune response and gut health.I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Roumell for sharing her expertise and for her unwavering advocacy in the realm of pediatric healthcare. Her dedication to empowering parents is truly inspiring. If you're eager to learn more and feel empowered in your role as a parent, I highly encourage you to explore Dr. Roumell's course.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Can we help individual people cost-effectively? Our trial with three sick kids, published by NickLaing on February 20, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR: My wife and I tried to help three children with severe illness cost-effectively. We paid for their medical care, followed up on what happened and reflected on the process. "Hearing about her death hurt badly - as it should. But not only had I done what I could, it made sense. Those 300 dollars gave her a chance of not only surviving, but living a long and happy life." My wife and I live in Gulu, Northern Uganda, where I operate OneDay Health, a social enterprise which provides cost-effective health care in remote rural areas - but this post isn't about that. We naturally encounter many situations where we feel compelled to help those around us, We sometimes help with school fees, medical bills and sometimes just cash bailouts. Many of these might not be very cost effective and fall into the "fuzzy giving" category, but by virtue of living in Uganda I suspect these contributions may often hit the unusual jackpot of both feeling good and being cost-effective, earning both "fuzzys" and "utilons" at the same time (sorry Yudkowsky, we mix them). Which got me thinking, could we target some of our support in a more cost-effective way? As a medical guy in Uganda, I figured we might be in a decent position to try, so we embarked on a mini-experiment to see if we could find a few medical cases which could be super cost-effective to treat, on par with top GiveWell charities. Our Cost-Effectiveness Bar We kept it simple here, and deferred to GiveWell's top-charity bar of $5500 per life saved. [1] I estimated cost effectiveness by dividing the money we would spend on medical care by a series of discount multipliers based on loosely estimated counterfactuals (see calculations below). My approach is deeply flawed as it fails to account for many variables, but allowed me to make a reasonable estimate in about 15 minutes. Feel free to criticize and discuss the method, I'm sure there more accurate and easier ways (@NunoSempere @Vasco Grilo). I didn't attempt a cost-effectiveness range as it would take longer. But where to find these sick people who might be cost-effectively helped? We planned to identify poor rural farmers who had life-threatening treatable illnesses, who were unlikely to be treated unless we paid for it. So I asked a couple of our OneDay Health managers to be on the lookout for sick people who presented to our Health Centers, while I also kept an eye out in the health center where I work as a doctor - people who could die without treatment that they couldn't afford. Finding people to "cost-effectively" help turned out to be harder than expected. Over a 2 month period we identified three young girls to help, while we decided not to help in another 5 or so cases. These are the stories people we tried to help- feel free to skip the BOTECS if you aren't into that! Lamunu - age 9 Even for a hardened doctor, Lamunu's photo was tough to look at. She showed up in our Health center with about 30% of her body burned after falling into a fire. She had spent 10 days in an ill-equipped government hospital and she continued deteriorate. Her father ran out of money and took her home, before arriving one of our health centers (which can't treat burns) as perhaps desperate last-ditch effort. Her burns were infected, she was malnourished and everybody involved knew that she probably wasn't long for this world. I happen to live 500 meters away from the best burns unit in Northern Uganda at St. Mary's hospital Lacor so I thought we might be able to help. We paid for her father to take a 5 hour bus ride to Lacor hospital, and supported the family with hospital fees and some food. Cost effectiveness BOTEC? Chance of death withou...
