So happy to hear that our Paramedic colleagues have been rightfully prioritized in Phase 1 of the #CovidVaccine rollout. Wonderful example of how advocacy can help set things right! Great call by Gen. Hillier and the provincial Vaccine Task Force. 👍🏽

If your job is to go to a COVID patient’s home, resuscitate and intubate them, then transport them in a closed metal box, then you deserve to be prioritized for vaccination. I’ve been blessed to work with countless paramedics in my career Respect their work and keep them safe

It seems like a no-brainer. Paramedics are front line workers who put themselves at risk in clinical situations that are the LEAST controlled.

Disappointed @fordnation does not consider us a frontline healthcare worker eligible for the #CovidVaccine . We are around the most sick and most vulnerable everyday. We have gone above and beyond during this pandemic because we are needed and now we need ppl to stand up for us.

Would love to see our front line paramedic colleagues getting the jab in Ontario. It is an honour to work alongside these heroes in the trenches. Like Bryan Rusk or Mike Larsen or Stephen Callisti. Let’s get it done. @TorontoEMS_live @celliottability @fordnation

Every so often I see people reassured when actively bleeding patients have a systolic BP of 100. To get a ballpark multiply their MAP by 80 and then divide that by 2000 (a squeezed shut systemic vascular resistance in stupid units - dynes.sec/cm5)

1/ Why can furosemide improve dyspnea/pulmonary edema from acute congestive heart failure within minutes of administration? The answer does not involve diuresis. #medtwitter #tweetorial

You know that magnetic white pill from your chemistry lab? The one that spins and stirs the solution. Why isn’t that a thing for normal cooking?

In many urban hospitals, the majority of physicians are white & the majority of patients are black. Why is that? The old narrative was the reason we're the ones who ended up in the white coats is that we worked hard & are smart. Perhaps that's not the right narrative. 1/thread

At the end of #covid19, can we all come together and decide on the right way to pull wipes from the purple jar? I can't be pulling the lid off 40 times a shift for the next 15 years. It has a hole in the middle for a reason people.

Please help us. #FDNY #EMT and #Paramedics are being punished for using N95s, even while transporting confirmed #COVID19 patients. @JoeBorelliNYC @JustinBrannan @AndrewGounardes @NYCEMSwatch @nytimes @nypost @NYDailyNews @washingtonpost

Hey @celliottability, @MaritStiles, @AndreaHorwath, just spent time reading the essential worker list and couldn’t help but notice that paramedics weren’t included. Does this mean that Ontarians won’t have access to prehospital emergency care come Wednesday morning?

If you call 911 you will be asked Covid-19 screening questions by dispatchers. Please do not lie if you have travelled or have fever/cough. These questions are part of a comprehensive screening tool to protect our paramedics who are working tirelessly thru this pandemic 😷

For at least 3 consecutive months, I believed in my heart, mind and soul I was 36 years old. This past November, someone at work asked me how old I was, and I replied, “Thirty-six, I’ll be 37 in April.” I was born in 1982. 🤦🏾‍♀️
