Attitude change with younger RTs
Anyone else find themselves working with a lot of gen Z/young millennial RTs that like to have opinions? I'm locums working at multiple sites and the RTs keep trending younger, the game now is apparently to talk the physician down from whatever intervention is requested. Patient needs a tube? Why not put them on bipap instead. Patient needs bipap? Why not put them on a nonrebreather for heart failure. Need deep suction for bronchiolitis? Why not try a bulb. Young people suck.

Bronchiolitis Treatment? (When supportive is not the answer)
A 14-month-old male presents to the emergency department with fever, cough, and increasing difficulty breathing over the past 2 days. On physical examination, the child is in moderate respiratory distress with grunting and retractions. Auscultation of the lungs reveals diffuse expiratory wheezing. The most beneficial treatment for this child's respiratory difficulty is
- amoxicillin
- dexamethasone
- diphenhydramine
- prednisolone
- albuterol
This sounds like bronchiolitis to me (< 2y/o...

I am 100% sure I want to do Pediatrics... I think.
Now I know this topic has most probably been beat down more than I can imagine on this forum, as I have read most of them on this topic, but I'm still not too much clearer on what I should do.
Let me start by saying I love medicine, I don't mean IM medicine, or Peds medicine per say. I just love medicine in general, whether it be a case of bronchiolitis, Williams Syndrome, HTN, FSGN, or CHF, it all appeals to me, especially the crazy random/tough cases. However, ever since before even...

Please help! Possibe CF? Sweat test needed after rectal prolapse in 2 1/2 year old
Hello,
This is my very first time posting here. I never thought I would find myself posing questions in regard to CF and my children, as I thought any fear of CF would have been completely put to rest by my prenatal testing and newborn screening. Apparently, as I am learning, this is not always the case.
I just got back a little while ago from an over night stay at a children's hospital following my daughter's first experience with rectal prolapse.
After speaking with the gastroenterologist at the end of her 24 hour observation period, I learned that it is protocol to send children her age with rectal prolapse for a s...
