165. Pediatric Perspectives: Musings, Insights and Encouragement
From Measles to Mass Epidemics: This episode is dedicated to a pediatrician's journey through medical challenges and advocacy. Join host Dr. Lia Gaggino this week, as she features heartfelt conversations with renowned pediatricians, Dr. Bravo and Dr. George Rogu. Listen in as they share personal stories from their medical careers and highlight the importance of preventive care. From preventing infectious diseases to the struggles of combating mental health crises, they stand at the frontline of pediatric care. Pediatricians feel their call of duty is to advocate for the health and wellbeing of their young patients. But pediatricians will say “we must never lose sight of why we chose this path in the first place. Our purpose is greater than any obstacle, and our dedication to the health and wellbeing of children is unwavering”. So, as they continue to stand strong, united in their mission, always remember that the impact that just one pediatrician can make extends far beyond the confines of a podcast episode, and together, their voices will be heard.

Key quotes for Twitter:
"I think Chuck Chavanau. He's a brilliant pediatrician. He was extremely obsessive/compulsive. He would call the NiCU 4 times before he went to bed and he'd be like, yeah. Anything I need to know?” …Dr. Bravo talking about doctors who have made an impression on him in his early years
“...And he told me, George, never be afraid of giving medications. Never be afraid of the patient. We'll do whatever it takes to make the patient better”… Dr. Rogu talking about Dr. Jez, a Polish physician that had a great influence on him in his early years
