COVID-19 misinformation contributed to 2,800 Canadian deaths, report suggests ctvnews.ca/health/coronav… by @nicireland_news cc @cca_reports "The actual impact of COVID-19 #misinformation is very likely much larger than the report findings show..." #ScienceUpFirst
Cost-effective benefits of great primary care: Family docs & their teams in Calgary & area reduced COVID hospitalizations to 3% of cases, vs 7.5% national avg (Hlth Canada: health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epide…) Great work to PCNs like @foothillspcn @scpcn @cwcpcn et al & @ABFamDocs!
Today the @Royal_College announced that candidates will have the choice to complete the oral portion of their certifying exam this spring to receive licensure, or defer the exam 1 entire year (to spring 2022… assuming orals are offered then) /1
Another physician in my rural practice has announced their resignation. Moving to BC. Excellent young dr with a long career ahead. Lists UCP as reason. Doesn't trust this gov't. Huge loss for AB. @shandro @Albertadoctors @jkenney
Great advice from a model resident. Leadership and mentorship, rolled into one.
This seems a touch at odds with the policy for community clinics - I guess staff will do a continuous loop through McD’s so front line workers can access PPE? This is a bit bizarre. @AnnaliseDr @John1MD @SamanthaMyhr @ABFamDocs @Albertadoctors @djillk1 @FionaMattatall @alb0001

Thanks to all those family docs working hard on #WFDD2020, #familydocsrock and I see all of you and the good you do - with patients every day, and as teachers, researchers, leaders, advocates and clinical experts. Feel free to RT and tag others @ABFamDocs 1/x
This is a big problem. We need more open respectful dialogue to dispel the fear of the unknown/misunderstood. sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/v…
So out of my ignorance/confusion I need to ask- if you pass a law that allows you to create laws when you want that run contrary to previous laws- are you still working under the “rule of law”? Asking for 4 million Albertans because I can’t be the only one whose mind is a pretzel
Family doctors are still providing care to patients & I want to encourage anyone who needs care to call their doctor. Most family doctors can do virtual visits by phone or other means & can determine how to best get patients the care they need.
Thank you to everyone who downloaded #ABTraceTogether app. You’re helping with our work to keep Albertans healthy & to provide crucial information about the spread of #COVID19AB. To download the app, visit alberta.ca/ab-trace-toget…
Interesting but not surprising. The social disparities of rural living are common and often overlooked. calgaryherald.com/news/rural-hom…
1/ Although it feels like 10 years ago, it was actually only 8 weeks ago that the Health Minister gave notice that Alberta radiologists would have their contract terminated next year, after the radiologists took a retroactive 12% pay cut during binding arbitration.
You speak with great authority about the practice of medicine. Remind us all about your experience in this area?

I love that you want to support our NP colleagues. I’m not sure how this helps patients though. Is there a shortage of physicians willing and able to provide care in these facilities? The outbreaks are attributable to many things but I don’t think lack of medical care is one.

After reviewing the privacy statement and calling the HIA office I am surprised by their attention to detail to ensure patient confidentiality. Well done. alberta.ca/ab-trace-toget…
