Great opinion piece from 2 of my favourite (and respected) people. @AntibioticDoc and @BradenMannsYYC Province’s pandemic review needs to be transparent (The Globe and Mail (Alberta Edition)), Apr 27, 2024
Excellent note. Why do we stand for this?
I'm sure the NP's, pharmacists and naturopaths can round up enough people to cover it Carrie....

I agree with this. I don't think we've learnt much at all. In fact I think we've taken a remarkable step backwards in terms of listening to our experts. I also think we have a bit too much infighting amongst experts over nuance.

Fantastic to see the evidence for everyone to consider their measles vaccination status right now. Everybody needs to see this. Government please broadcast this message widely. PH needs to advertise this to all Albertans.

My goodness. Things are pretty bad when we have to pay skilled people to come to the province. How did we let ourselves down so badly?

And Braden nails it again. We should not be funding a competitive model. How do you know whether your 'headache' can be seen by an NP or needs a doc? You shouldn't even be expected to. They should work together as teams which have been proven to work.

Yes. The future of primary care should be efficient and effective team based care. Teams should be coordinated by a primary care physician. This is the future. Alberta is veering towards the past.

Everyone is raising the alarm. FM is the foundation of our healthcare system and we are losing it. It is government who needs to not only listen, but act. Now.

I’d love to see what Trudeau would say if asked the question.
@JMeddings @BradenMannsYYC Thanks Jon :) TBH I still have this naive - optimistic hope that a proper COVID response review (NOT a trial or sideshow, a well structured, objective, rigorous science based review of evidence and outcomes) could happen in 🇨🇦 Important, and sure would be useful.
@picardonhealth @AntibioticDoc @GlobeDebate Thanks Andre for posting. Comments you’ve received so far are (not surprisingly) quite far on one side (or the other). Hopefully we can all agree that the pandemic was BAD. We will have another during our lifetimes. So we need to get all the groups together - have a discussion…
@BradenMannsYYC @picardonhealth @GlobeDebate Rationally cutting through all of the biased takes on what worked and didn’t (propped up by cherry-picked and often flawed studies) is so important. (She says, nervously eyeing H5N1)
We should not be wasting time and money on anything less than evidence based transparent reviews. Enough of the politicking - we need our best and brightest working on this so we are prepared for the next pandemic. theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
#COVID19 has killed almost 60,000 Canadians to date. We deserve a transparent report into the overall effects, good and bad, of pandemic public-health measures, by @AntibioticDoc @BradenMannsYYC theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta… via @GlobeDebate
@JMeddings You know what has stuck in my craw even more that what is happening here? It’s HOW it’s happening. It seems deliberately insulting. Why table this BEFORE dealing with family medicine compensation framework? It’s quite unbelievable to me….the disregard, avoidance & ignorance.1/2
@JMeddings Glad to know you are still practicing with and supporting wonderful NP’s. let’s keep collaborative practice moving forward.
I want to strongly support and echo this message from the Minister. The Measles vaccine is safe and effective. Vaccines really do work! In a HC system that is already struggling, the last thing AB needs is an outbreak of a preventable highly transmissible virus.
Alberta Health Services has confirmed a case of measles in Edmonton. This case was acquired through travel. The measles vaccine is proven, safe, and effective. I want to encourage all Albertans with children who have not received the MMR vaccine to do so. Myself, and all seven…
Wow. Never mind cap gains. Look at this from AB MD
@ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange @DShepYEG @Lorian_H A number of my colleagues have reviewed the Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Program and have noted, in many ways that this is a Plan far superior to what family docs are getting in the province, and yet...2
@JMeddings Oh, did you know I was a Neuro Oncology NP or was that just a lucky guess? Most FM practitioners will never encounter a patient with a malignant brain tumour, and yes, NP’s know how to do a full neuro exam and know when to refer for further scans and tests. I agree to disagree.
A very logical series of tweets. The timing around this NP announcement (both times) - bad. I hope we don’t see what is happening in Quebec. 5% of docs (and many NPs) have opted out of public system and are setting up private pay clinics at prices unaffordable to most
@ABDanielleSmith @AdrianaLaGrange @DShepYEG @Lorian_H A number of my colleagues have reviewed the Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Program and have noted, in many ways that this is a Plan far superior to what family docs are getting in the province, and yet...2
@SamanthaMyhr @JMeddings I don't blame them! At $2400/pt/yr the private system is much more lucrative than the public system. If that's the market rate (and our docs are roughly $250-300/pt/yr in FFS) - the province is already getting a 90% discount. We are wildly undervalued in the public system.
Many doctors contacting me w similar concerns… We’ve been telling govt daily that they need to invest in FM specialists as the foundation of primary care The new PCCM funding model cannot come quick enough This NP announcement is for 48 NPs We have 1000s of FM docs struggling
In 23y of practice, after 14y of post-secondary ed, I've never had that high an income for my 1000 patients despite working 50+ hours weekly. And recall, my overhead comes OUT of my income. And recall, family docs have NO pension, benefits, vacation. open.alberta.ca/publications/n…
@JMeddings Same re naivety. Look to Ontario re mandate letters.
No one talking about the crisis in cancer care 🫤

@JMeddings Thank you for your excellent comments (as always)! I’m banging my head against walls….you are so right…the economics don’t work. There will also be duplication of efforts ($/time) & redundant steps for patients. Is patient experience/patient centred care still a thing?😉
With every bill, they're making it more difficult to call them conservative, and tougher to avoid the label authoritarian.
