Covid changed a lot for the world of pediatrics, and healthcare workers are working tirelessly to bounce back. This week, your hosts are joined by Dr. Krupa Playforth, aka The Pediatrician Mom, to discuss RSV and connecting parents with the information they need most. Dr. Playforth is a wealth of knowledge, offering a rundown of what RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is, the influx of cases this year, and what she says to parents when they find out their child has it. She also talks about her website, The Pediatrician Mom, and how it came to be at the start of the pandemic. The website offers cheat sheets for so many things, giving parents a hands-on way to feel like they’re really helping their kids. Dr. Playforth also offers up an incredible WoMed exclusive: she’s working on putting together her own practice!! Congratulations, Dr. Playforth!! Lastly, we wrap up with some tips on keeping your kids safe during the holiday season. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!
