Matt and Rob discuss pediatric fat shaming: EVERYONE is guilty. Yes – you can be happy & healthy AND overweight. Mallomars! Little Lotta, BMI as a tool is not good, Pediatric Office Food Prescription Programs, pediatric care givers comments/growth charts CAN trigger anorexia, draining pus still requires some antibiotics too, Will Amoxicillin soon be out as first line for Otitis in older kids?, St. Louis ribs pressure cookers, Syncope EKGs, Matt’s mushroom coffee – ugh, PLUS – some diarrhea song verses you did not need to know. Fly Eagles Fly and crush those Cheatin Patriots!

Thank you so much for this. The body image issue is huge and pediatricians have a critical impact on this (for better or worse).
Thank you. I agree we need to be really mindful of our words we use about weight and body types – toom much reliance on BMIs and not healthy habits and self esteem!
