“Hormonal birth control (HBC) is dangerous” Driving a car is dangerous. Has @elonmusk relinquished his drivers license? Preg planning/birth contr conferred the greatest economic advances for women in history. Some essential perspective on HBC instagram.com/reel/C5WcnArOs…

I was pushed down the stairs, head butted and suffered broken bones during my pregnancy. I was lucky to survive, many don’t. Women are more likely to be murdered during pregnancy or soon after childbirth than to die from the 3 leading obstetric causes of maternal death.

I admit it - I used to appreciate that Twitter made the evening news feel like old news. Now, innumerable posts about some lady vaping and getting fondled in a theatre, while not a peep about the devastation in Libya??.. just gross Corrupt and gross
Double-barrelled surnames are largely used by wives not husbands. He retains his single identity, she embraces a dual identity. Double-barrelled surnames for children is a ‘compromise’ — he gave up ‘his right’ to name their child after only him… well isn’t she the lucky one.

In cancer care, use of alternative medicine is associated with decreased survival. 39% of people in the US believe that alternative medicine such as dieting, herbs, and vitamins can cure cancer without the use of standard cancer treatments. Not good. annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/an…
Do the Germans have a great word for the pre-dread that overburdened healthcare workers feel heading into the holidays, knowing that any time off with their family directly translates into patient suffering?
The intro of virtual care (in Ontario) was associated a savings of 3 billion km of patient travel, ~600 million kg of CO2 emissions, and over half a billion $CAD in expenses for gas/parking/transit. Why on earth did it take a pandemic to do this??

I have had patients ask if they can write their spot in my practice into their will, for a relative’s use when they pass on. Please remind me how this is universal healthcare? We now have two-tiered care: those with family docs, and those without.#everyonedeservesafamilydoctor

@DrSiyabMD @SeekJustice117 This is it. The answer to crappy doctors who gaslight and bully their patients is not a full body scan. It's teaching doctors how to be humans and creating an environment where they don't burn out so quickly.
About 40% of women’s economic gains since the 60s are directly related to contraception. You are a handmaiden of the patriarchy.
Birth control is wrong not just because of the harmful side effects. Birth control is wrong in its very purpose. It’s designed purposely to divorce sex from procreation. It has duped us into believing that casual sex is not only okay, but also an inherent “right.” There is NO…

The birth control pill contributed massively to the economic gains achieved by women, so I could see why misogynistic serial impregnators would be against it.
Thank you @drcarl_vancouvr. I owe much of my professional life, career and personal values to Dr Robin McLeod, a true giant of colorectal surgery. She taught me how to treat patients, colleagues & residents with grace & compassion. She taught me so much. May she rest in peace
It is through some tears that I write this. Dr Robin McLeod, a legend of surgery, passed away today too soon. Dr McLeod was a pioneer in evidence based surgery. Her contribution to research, edu and clin care are peerless among 🇨🇦 surgeons and we are diminished by her loss.
Just watched @BCFerries crew approach a man sitting near me who looked extremely down on his luck. I braced for the worst, thinking they’d ask him to put his shoes back on etc, but instead offered him a free meal. My heart. Kindness is always in season. Thank you to the crew 💓

Once, a woman stopped me in the lobby. "I'm sorry, I can’t find the ICU.” I showed her where to go. An hour later, I was called to the room—her husband was dying from cancer. That was the day I decided to treat every person in the hospital as if it were their hardest day.
With over 600 Israeli & nearly 400 Palestinian casualties so far, the pain felt by those of us in the region and connected to it can't be overstated. The lives cut short in the past 48 hours are a tragedy, evidence of the need for an immediate ceasefire. ijvcanada.org/ijv-calls-for-…
This is an atrocious strategy. The Palestinian people are not synonymous with Hamas. Punishing innocent civilians with these cruel and inhumane tactics will fail and backfire. This helps no one.
“i ordered a full siege on the gaza strip. no power, no food, no gas, everything is closed." - israel defense minister yoav gallant population of gaza: 2.2 million
As a human rights lawyer, let me remind y'all just how horrifically illegal Defense Minister Gallant's order is: 1. This is Collective punishment of 2.2M people—which is prohibited by treaty in both international and non-international armed conflicts, specifically Common Article…
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: "I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly."
This conflict for me has always been about morality. Morally, you cannot justify the killing of Palestinian civilians, even if you say it’s fighting terrorism. But morally, you also cannot justify the killing of Israeli civilians, even if you say you’re fighting occupation.
We continue to be horrified by the escalating violence in Israel and Palestine. The attacks on innocent Israeli civilians - especially women and children - are unjustifiable. The attacks on innocent Palestinian civilians - especially women and children - are unjustifiable. As…
The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. How will this deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.

On this date in 1992, Sinéad O'Connor's protest on SNL against the abuses and coverup by the Catholic Church brought on decades of vitriol against her. She was the fiercest of truth tellers.
