@hemeoncABnorth Yes, AHS cut the payments to many lab physicians by 20% or more. I guess they missed the news that there is a crisis in recruiting and retaining physicians.
Add your name to a letter at PrioritizeMyHealth.ca. Tell government to prioritize women's health.
So when doctors are telling us that Smith's policies are going to harm kids...if you're siding with Smith on that, is that because you think she knows more about children's health than doctors do? Or because you're okay with harming trans kids in the name of ideology?

The important thing that we need to realize is this: Primary Care has been smoldering for years, it just fully set on fire in the pandemic. Family Med could use the help. NPs have a part they could play in this. But this needs to be collaborative.

People don't seem to talk about how pre-2019, our system, while not perfect, was humming along fairly well and many of our rural areas had great healthcare. Most of the breakdown of our system came at the hands of Kenney and Shandro. I have a few fixes to suggest:
Gender identity is a health issue, and every step should be taken to ensure that all children and youth can achieve optimal health. #CDNhealth cma.ca/about-us/what-…
I know many of you are worried this will happen in Alberta. I am too. This is the worst, most harmful form of culture war politics that has already taken over the discourse in the US. We cannot allow it to happen here. 1/

Between 2015 and 2021 life expectancy has dropped a shocking seven years for First Nations men and women living in Alberta due in part to drug poisoning deaths. #ableg aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
First Nations ppl in Alberta are 7x more likely to die from toxic drugs than other Albertans. Further delays in a (long overdue) public health strategy to address this inequity will cost lives. #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…

Real example: patient with a brain bleed from a tumor and low platelets was placed in a hallway bed and had to walk down the hall to use a washroom. If they fell, doctor held accountable. People need to hold gov’t accountable for inadequate and dangerous hospital accommodation.
An internist friend was lamenting about the massive increase in complaints they have had against them and that they have had to respond to regarding patients roomed in hallways. They have zero control over this. Bed coordinators place the patients, docs take on the risk. Unfair.

It is extremely frustrating for my current admitted pt who requires urgent chemotherapy cannot get a bed at the only cancer hospital north of Calgary. They are getting sicker and need chemo. This situation is going from bad to worse very quickly and people are suffering #abhealth
Next week the CCI closes more beds due to ongoing construction. We will be down to 29 inpatient beds until September. That’s 29 inpatient hospital beds with chemotherapy capability to serve the entirety of northern AB (north of Calgary) and the NWT.* This is vastly inadequate!!
Eek! This is even bigger than that time Ron Sexsmith followed me (sorry @RonSexsmith)!!
“There’s also all kinds of rumours on Twitter, and accounts people were making on Twitter, I needed to see whether or not there was any concern about myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots. We’ve all read that there are concerns about that.” - very serious premier of Alberta.

#Ableg The UCP is BRAGGING about increasing the Alberta Wildfire Budget to $155.4 million from $100.4M A reminder the NDP allocated $159M for wildfire prevention In 2019, the UCP cut funding by 37% to pay for a 33% corporate tax cut Priorities Matter globalnews.ca/news/10330545/…

It seems ridiculous until you hear this dude’s voice.
I know it's been a while but hi Twitter, guess what? I have 480 patients on my panel as per my EMR calculation. That means I'm exactly 20 people short of receiving supportive payments from @ABDanielleSmith Why do I have less than 500? Simple reasons 🧵👇 #abpoli #ableg
1. I'm a new mom. My husband recently changed jobs. Life is hectic. I don't work full time so I can be there for my family. Women often have to flex the most and I'm no exception. My husband's job doesn't flex. So I bend for the sake of family and that's important to me
2. I have taken on complex patients purposely. I do addictions support, palliative home care, counselling, mental health and I provide virtual care for rural patients outside of #yeg too. So I book longer appointments with them
3. I am obsessed with keeping availability for my patients. I refuse to take more patients if it reduces my availability. Patients can usually see me within 24-48hrs and I have same-day availability. And I have maintained this for 6 yrs
4. I work hospital care too. I love mixing up my practice to give me variability in my day and keep me in close contact with my specialist colleagues. The knowledge and connections I make in hospital directly benefit my clinic patients
5. I bill ethically and fairly. I do not bill 03.04A codes unless I do a true full physical/assessment as per the fee guideline. Not all docs, particularly walk in clinics, are ethical about this & when they bill 03.04A on my patients, they "steal" them for their panel count
So why will I not get a desperately needed payment from the @Alberta_UCP? Because I'm a woman. I'm a mom. Because I value complex care. Because I prioritize availability. Because I enjoy variability. Because I'm ethical Because I'm a Family Doctor who does full spectrum care
