I knew when my 9 yo daughter learned about persuasive writing, we were in trouble! 😅 @sanjsath @KWBilingual
On this #Doctorsday, I'm grateful to my physician colleagues who care so deeply for their work, and their family members who support them behind-the-scenes. @OntariosDoctors And @BreneBrown, FYI, my 9 yo daughter thinks you're onto something 🙃
Are you interested in playing a key role in shaping OCFP programs and services for members? The OCFP is seeking two non-physicians to serve as members on our board of directors. Deadline for applications is Friday March 24, 2023. Learn more and apply: bit.ly/3lqhIQy
I'm incredibly proud to be sharing an exciting accomplishment that I've been working towards for years. I never knew I'd actually get here. My 11 yo son thinks my jokes are as good as (I think he meant better than) my husband's dad jokes. @sanjsath look out!
Came home from after-hours clinic today to this beautiful portrait from my daughter. Reminds me of how grateful I am for all of the healthcare workers who are working hard to support their patients this season. Hope you all find time to rest and recharge 💙.
My 8-year-old daughter is both enjoying the Christmas spirit and the opportunity to practice her cursive writing 😁.
It's energizing to see people like @asa_aahimbis raising awareness about #bullying with books like this one. Your kindness towards my son will not be forgotten 💙. #bullyingpreventionweek

Why was I told it was a "he said, she said" when they could see the bruises? Why didn't they help when he was suicidal? Why was nothing done when the bully threatened to kill my family? Bullying hurts. Don't miss an opportunity to support a child in need. #bullyingpreventionweek
Bullying can be traumatic for all involved. If you witness bullying, please remember to be an ally rather than a bystander. #standuptobullying #bullyingpreventionweek
It takes courage for a child or family to disclose bullying. So when they do, please LISTEN to them. I was shocked and felt helpless when my efforts to keep my son safe at school didn't work. kitchener.ctvnews.ca/we-felt-really… #bullyingpreventionweek @nicolelampa
My son was terrified when he was at school. My daughter was heartbroken when she saw her brother was hurting. My husband and I were devastated. Bullying has ripple effects. This week, let’s talk about how to #stopbullying. @TREEducation @KidsHelpPhone #bullyingpreventionweek
On the eve of #bullyingpreventionweek, I proudly remember my son's bravery in speaking out about his experiences with bullying and I am so grateful for all of the support we've received since. @vaillancourt_dr @nicolelampa kitchener.ctvnews.ca/we-felt-really…
It's been 21 years and this day still brings tears to my eyes.
Family Docs are seeing a surge in children experiencing respiratory illness so we created this tip sheet for parents and caregivers. Learn: 📱When to call a family doc 🏥When to go to the emergency dept 🤒How to manage illness at home 🔗ontariofamilyphysicians.ca/actions-parent…
We are encouraged to hear that Minister Duclos is considering increased investments through the Canada Health Transfer on the condition that the provinces use common key health indicators. Today, 1.8 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor
Thanks Richard. You can find examples of those not seeing in person, but our data shows only 105/9462 (1.1%) of comprehensive FPs doing virtual only in Ontario. This story not well researched and feeds false narratives. @CBCNews @tara_kiran @OntarioCollege @allan_k_grillMD

The article ⬇️ by @PSwadden highlights the overcrowded ER situation in Ontario. It also suggests primary care providers are not seeing enough patients in person. Since no Family MD or nurse practitioner were interviewed, here are my thoughts: A 🧵. cbc.ca/news/canada/to… 1/17
This headline is disappointing. Our research has shown repeatedly that the vast majority of family doc offices have been open to in-person visits through the pandemic Our team has been seeing +++ people with respiratory illness these last few weeks. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Ok, here we go again. Let's blame FPs for overcrowded hospitals. Does the data show that lots of FPs aren't seeing patients in-person? Nope. Aren't most of these issues structural and multifactorial? Sure, but FPs make great punching bags. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Family medicine is often seen as a "lesser than" specialty. In truth, generalism is more and more needed yet harder and harder to practice. Family medicine needs respect, pay and support commensurate with its value thewalrus.ca/family-doctors… via @thewalrus cc @UofTFamilyMed
Thank you @CFPC_e . I am very honored and accept with humility. Thank you to the many colleagues and friends who have emailed/texted to congratulate me.
Congratulations to @Lemire_Francine on being appointed to the Order of Canada! 🇨🇦 Your outstanding contributions to family medicine truly make you a beacon of inspiration. You are well-deserving one of our country’s highest honours! #OrderOfCanada ow.ly/uWMh50QnctR
Family doctors are being stretched too thin. A survey conducted on behalf of the OCFP shows that 65% of family docs are planning to change or leave their practice because they aren’t doing the work they need and want to– which is spending time with patients.
These are the same issues OCFP has been sounding the alarm on. Across Ontario, patients do not have equal access to a family doctor. Without a family doctor, routine check-ups are missed, cancers go undetected, or people turn to hospitals because they have nowhere else to go. 1/2

My Mom never let me play with barbies. I never liked them anyways. And then the climate deniers & haters called me climate barbie to try to diminish me. But if it takes a #Barbie movie to say what needs to be said about the impossible expectations for women, then count me in. 👇
