Pediatric clinicians have obligations to their patients and law enforcement. But it can be challenging to figure out how to navigate situations where these obligations conflict or where there is uncertainty about the right thing to do. This has increased with recent executive branch agendas. Dr. Alyssa Burgart is the Associate Director of Pediatric Bioethics at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics, Medical Director of Ethics for the Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, and writes about ethics and culture in her substack Poppies & Propofol. She joins Dr. Wolfe to discuss the ethics of interacting with law enforcement, specifically immigration and customs enforcement (ICE).

We are blessed to have a very international patient population at our clinic in Minneapolis, helped by the Twin Cities reputation as a safe and supportive place for immigrants, refugees and asylees. With roots abroad, many of our families frequently travel home, where infectious disease exposures carry a unique profile compared to that of the U.S. It is therefore not surprising that having a returning traveler with fever, especially when ill appearing, can be a stressful trip down infectious disease memory lane. Today’s episode will explore fever in a returning traveler and tools to narrow your differential during these encounters.
Dr. Kade Goepferd, Chief Education Officer at Children’s Minnesota and host of Talking Pediatrics introduces our clinical podcast and gives a sneak preview into what you can expect as we partner with you in the care of your pediatric patients.
