Alright - what's the best book you read this year and why?
Because of my son’s medical conditions, we frequent the hospital at least once a month, whether it be for biologic infusions for his Crohn’s, transplant clinic, bloodwork, cardiac cath’s, ultrasounds, etc. We, along with many medical families are frequent flyer’s at the /1
Dear Medical Doctors, if you want to help patients with complex chronic diseases (and they sincerely need your support!), here are some important wishes from a patient’s perspective. 1/
A few reflections as I look around a dysfunctional healthcare system. I see firsthand every day how terrible the situation is yet one of the unfortunate features of staffing a system with such resilient healthcare workers...is that it will never truly "collapse"... 🧵
YEG has both a level 1( UAH) and level 2( RAH) trauma centre, yet we let people fall by the wayside who require simple treatment. #dobetteredmonton

Thank you for your kindness and helpful suggestions. What I love about this place is its remoteness. It’s also what makes it vulnerable to crime. The nearest RCMP station is 45 min away, and because or resources they will not answer automated alarms.
Medicine needs more nontraditional, rural origin, and Indigenous trainees. It’s so much harder to get in when you’re non-trad. I got a lot of help when applying & continue to pay it forward by helping others. I encourage other doctors to do this. Kindness can change medicine.
In the meantime? I’ll exist in the world as a fat, plus-size person and not let it stop me from living my life!
Did you get a vasectomy? Will you? Any regrets or issues?
Picking three songs to perform at brunch tomorrow knowing bigots will be outside picketing is harder than I imagined. How do I say “fuck you” without saying “fuck you”?
Some of y’all really come on here and try to “gotcha” MDs and PhDs when you couldn’t even pass high school biology. 😂😂😂💀💀💀
@iwashyna That’s disgusting and at the very least they need to get fucking paid.
This weekend, help curb transmission by respecting gathering limits & staying home if feeling unwell. Indoor social gatherings are not permitted for unvaccinated ABs ages 12+ & limited to a max of 10 ppl from 2 households for ppl who are vaccinated. alberta.ca/covid-19-publi… (4/4)
Went home poof it was gone. But within the hour of being confused and upset over missing a day of work my brother would wake up to a bad cough and a very scary trip to the bathroom. His Aorta ruptured into his stomach. The graft had burst and the scene made the movie Carrie mild.
Vaccination is a choice. Choices have consequences. The consequence of not being vaccinated, while employed with AHS, is that you lose the privilege of providing patient care. PATIENT CARE IS A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT.
The insane call volumes/unit utilization + not-mandatory-mandatory OT + lack of support + the traumas of the job is why I’m now on a hiatus from work.
Just had a patient come via interhospital transport. The EMT asked if I could take my time so they would have time to get water and go pee. This is what we are doing to our frontline fighters. It is NOT ok.
Why does a potential 4th wave matter so much to me? Even if it’s smaller than the the others, it still has huge implications on public health. ICU resources are the safety net that allow surgeries to happen, independent of hospitalization rates.
Alberta delayed 10,000 surgeries during its 3rd wave of COVID-19, which pushed ICUs to the brink cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
