34. Updates on MIS-C and COVID in Children with Dr. Anita Patel

<p class="p1">EPISODE 34</p> <p class="p1">In episode 3, I had Dr. Anita Patel on the show to share her invaluable knowledge on MISC. She graciously returned to answer all of my listener’s questions related to the Covid-19 Delta Variant. There has been so much chatter about this on social media and the news, so I’m grateful that I got to pick the brain of an expert on the topic. From treatments used to the results of the vaccine study, she fills us in on the facts that you’ve been wanting.</p> <p class="p1">Dr. Patel is a pediatric critical care doctor, assistant professor, and NIH funded researcher at Children's National Hospital in addition to being a 500 hour RYT yoga teacher. She uses her social media to show the human side of academic medicine that she so lacked as a medical trainee with a focus on motherhood in medicine, her IVF journey, and the raw difficulties of finding balance in this chaos.</p> <p class="p1">In this episode, we discuss:</p> <p class="p1">-How Covid’s effect on children has changed throughout the pandemic</p> <p class="p1">-Treatments that have been found to be effective and ineffective</p> <p class="p1">-Ways healthcare workers are dealing with the pandemic two years later</p> <p class="p1">-Pfizer vaccine study results in regards to safety and efficacy in children</p> <p class="p1">Connect with Dr. Patel:</p> <p class="p1">-Instagram: @anitakpatelmd</p> <p class="p1">-Tiktok: @anitakpatelmd</p> <p class="p1">SHOW NOTES: <a href= "https://www.lynzyandco.com/motherhood-meets-medicine-the-podcast/">lynzyandco.com</a></p> <p class="p1">Connect with me on Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/motherhoodmeetsmedicine/">@motherhoodmeetsmedicine</a>.
