Pediatricians out there: I am trying to figure out of these two policy statements are current (
@AmerAcadPeds statements expire after 5 years unless reaffirmed). If you know how one would determine if a statement has been reaffirmed/is current, pls reply.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @SteveJoffe @AmerAcadPeds
Best way I've found is to use Google to search the AAP website for a reaffirmation statement. I have a working theory that all statements listed in the policy section of the AAP website are current, but am not certain that is true.

So, in discussion with staff at
@AmerAcadPeds, some policy web pages have a link at the top that show that they have been reaffirmed. So we know they're current.pic.twitter.com/Q5wDrlOorJ

But others have silence in that space, so it's not clear what their status is--have they expired, or has there just been a failure to update the web page. Like this one. Will update as I learn more.pic.twitter.com/UBhRy6b4ay

AAP leadership dares not issue a statement of reaffirmation for its unethical & indefensible 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement, b/c they know that would only call attention to a debate with the rest of the world's physicians that they cannot win

But AAP also doesn't want to upset the MDs who profit handsomely from tearing apart boys' genitalia w/out medical need. So AAP leaves the Circumcision Policy Statement up, hoping the public won't notice it's expired. #i2 #tweetiatricians #tweetiatrician
