After meeting with Premier Danielle Smith for the first time today, Treaty 6 Chiefs had this to say: "It was clear from our discussions that Premier Smith does not understand Treaty or our inherent rights, nor does she respect them." #ableg Full statement:
Family doctors are NOT the cause of ER overcrowding. We have known this, forever. Ask ER doctors. Sloppy journalism without careful analysis of real data and rare anecdotes leads to questioning the ER-family medicine alliance. The problem is policy-makers, not family MDs.
If you’re advocating for not providing care to people who have not yet been vaccinated, STOP IT. Seriously. I went into emergency medicine to provide care to anyone, anytime, for anything regardless of who they are, what they believe, or ability to pay. I stand by that still.
got home from a chaotic call shift last night, popped 1g Tylenol and 600mg Ibuprofen, chugged about a litre of water, and fell asleep beside a plate of half eaten dinner in bed. medicine is so glamorous
I got to give my husband Anthony his third dose Booster of the Covid-19 vaccine at #VaxxFest in Treaty 8 with @thepowerof100X I want people to know that the vaccine is so safe, I would give it to my life partner, because I want to have a long life together with him ❤️ #vaxxed100
Please get vaccinated. That’s all.
“I always thought the kookoo bird was called that because it’s crazy. But it’s called that because it coos!” - my physicist husband 😭😂
ONE more 24 hour shift left of first year residency … may the call Gods be kind to me
The smartest people I know somehow make it seem like they’re the ones learning from you.
If y’all hear my son call me and I’m not around, please help him...
Paul Bloom published “The Case Against Empathy” in 2013. As a new med student, empathy seemed inherently good to me. Which is why this article caught my attention. (Sidebar: my husband and I discussed this article on our first date bc were that cool) 2/ google.com/amp/s/www.newy…
A todxs ellxs les dedico mi ilustración, por sus sacrificio, por bajar la terrible curva, por subir la de altas, por seguir tirando fuerte para recuperarnos, para hacernos volver. Gracias! #QuedateEnCasa #sanitarios #COVIDー19 #SanidadPública #coronavirus #VolveremosAVernosMas
🧵Dr. Ben Danielson... I had been an ER attg for < 2 yrs. My shift was over & I'd signed out to the attg relieving me (JR). I was finishing charts when the triage RN peeked her head into the now-thankfully-defunct "doctor's room" to grab the attg to look at a "maybe-sick" baby.
Seeing a snotty instagram story that says “nobody cares about your Spotify.” I do. I care about your Spotify 2020 wrap. I think it’s fun to know what people listen to, why you gotta be a music grinch?
Colten Boushie. Tina Fontaine. Cindy Gladue now Barbara Kentner. We have seen what Canada’s “justice” system does. My thoughts on the Brayden Bushby trial: Canada’s courts are barely hiding their disdain for Indigenous people theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
I just got new glasses (for the first time, thanks aging) and how does anybody function with the mask/glasses fogging combo?!
Imagine being in pain crisis & needing to go to the ER. But first, putting on your nicest clothes & brushing your hair to avoid judgment — just to get healthcare. It's time we address one of medicine's great injustices: racism towards Black people with sickle cell disease.

@itsmetheHBIC exactly- helps no one. she learns nothing and continues to foster a negative work environment and possible distrust/animosity in the team-maybe even btwn pt and team- it’s narrow minded bully behavior that we need to end!
“if we think this, why are we doing this? I want to understand.” i’ve had so many BEAUTIFUL learning experiences from fellows etc willing to take time to teach me when i asked these kinds of questions. the “look at this idiot” is the biggest problem. a**hole behavior.
I have strategically unfollowed a lot of medtwitter accounts over the years for, quite frankly, my own sanity, so I missed this, but it's a great illustration of a VERY common misconception about diagnosis: just because a test is negative does not mean it was not indicated.
Now why would you delete this gem…
@DrSiyabMD yup. most of the LPs I did as a peds resident didn’t ’end up’ being meningitis. but thank god, right? that’s why do we them- it’s the only way we can talk to CSF. must to fantastic to know how each initial clinical presentation will end up, but most of us aren’t superheroes
@NurseIngrid2 Don’t say things on a public platform if you’re not OK with getting pushback. I don’t control how other people act. 🤷♂️
@dfreedman7 Assuming you can get usable urine 🤣
Not a dunk on this account but a VERY important teaching point for any trainee. Hell, for *any* practicing CLINICIAN no matter how many years out of training. Never just assume any presentation is from a particular diagnosis. This is why we teach trainees to form a DIFFERENTIAL…
I use ultrasound way less as an attending compared to when I was a resident.
@CanadianKayMD I usually do. If something is really obvious I’ll act but most of the time I wait for the read. The more I look first, the better I get.
I’m sick of women having to tell our abortion stories & beg for our humanity. What about men’s abortion stories 🧐 When did you benefit from not being forced into fatherhood? How did it help your career? What were you free to pursue instead of becoming a teen dad??
For people asking about my steroid routine, I get a testopel implant every 3 months along with intermittent testosterone cypionate injections. I don’t recommend this for everybody though. You have to lose both testicles to cancer first. Kind of a hassle tbh
It’s been 7 months. I can now squat 300 pounds and can do 20 pull-ups without stopping. Everything ortho says about “gains” is true 💪
While it may be helpful, if the job continues to be less desirable (ie poorly paid & overworked) then I’m not sure how adding a medical school “focused”on FM will solve this? What we’re watching is the free market work and med students are less interested in FM for many reasons
"In an effort to boost the number of family doctors in the province, the government said it is investing in a new medical school, at York University, that will focus on family physicians." I wasn't expecting that. It's innovative and will be impactful. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
@DRitterMD I totally agree with you. The pendulum can’t swing too far in either direction imo.
We need to exempt neurosurgeons from the "should doctors work 24 hour shifts" discourse, because I think they legitimately enjoy it. They don't want to stop working. Making a neurosurgeon take a nap is a punishment worse than death.
Whenever I see an article about soda being bad I'm like right. Exceptfor tiny can of ginger ale, surely ?
If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.
They don’t! Hope that helps!! 😊
What an incredible gift! I’d love to know if this changes the schools match data significantly going forward. Is there a shift to more students choosing primary care specialties when you remove student loan burden?
