Glue Mishap Teaches Humility
- Dr. Susan Lipsett shared a personal story about an unsuccessful attempt to glue a child's facial laceration leading to patient distress.
- This experience taught her to ask for help early and to be kind to trainees during first-time procedures.

- Community acquired pneumonia includes bacterial, viral, and fungal infections outside hospital settings.
- Diagnosing bacterial pneumonia is difficult because symptoms overlap with viral infections in children.

- Chest x-ray can help rule out bacterial pneumonia by identifying or excluding radiographic pneumonia.
- Shared decision-making about imaging availability and antibiotic usage is important, especially in outpatient settings.
