It's funny how this will play out. Recruiting high powered professionals to AB is complicated. Having a world recognized educational system for these people's children is an incredible advantage. Losing it will have negative spin offs. But Goa has not thought this through.

A question for my fellow Albertans: did our gaslighting Premier "fix healthcare in 90 days" as promised Oct 20th, 2022, or did she and her predecessor break an already weak system? You know she'll say one thing, but what do the stats (and anecdotes) say? #ableg

I like this idea very much. We need choice, not straight jackets, in the ways MD's practice. Most MD students are now trained by people on a salary - they are attuned to this in ways many of us weren't. cbc.ca/news/health/ci…
Great thread. I wish more people would read and understand this. And then, I'd like more people to embrace the Canadian ethos of group protections/safety for all.

ZERO COORDINATION and NO OPERATIONAL OVERSIGHT for the entire system. If well connected HC leaders have no idea what it all means, or how to navigate any of it, how do you think all other HCWs are feeling? Or the Patients?!!! Our HC system is in serious trouble... so are Pts!
Great article! There is always a trade off between the rights of the individual and group rights. Where we place the cutoff lies on a spectrum. A more centrist view, emphasizing group rights, has always made sense to me. It is one of the reasons life expectancy in Canada > US.

A quick thread. This is important information for the health system to have. To generalize though, there are many types of information and key metrics that we should be evaluating in real time to improve system performance. This one is not controversial. /1

Alas, I'm positive that government won't answer the question below so I will just make a small point. We need more physicians in AB. In fact from comparative OECD data we know that Canada has around 240 MD's per 100,000 population. /1

If you haven’t already read “The Death of Expertise” by @RadioFreeTom, right now would be an excellent time.
Warning--Emergency Department visits for COVID are surging once again, approaching last winter's peak. I think the new variant-updated COVID vaccine should be available to everyone, instead of restricting it like RFK Jr has. And we should restart the conversation around air…
When a top CDC scientist resigns and cites eugenicist rhetoric from federal health agencies as a main reason, everyone should absolutely be paying attention.
UPDATED: The C.D.C. director was fired after she refused to promise to accept recommendations of a vaccine committee (hand-picked by Sec. Kennedy's team) that drives insurance coverage and access to inoculations. GIFT: nytimes.com/2025/08/28/hea…
Once again it is not about public vs private. This is a rabbit hole. It is about how our governments ration our healthcare. Why do we let them? Opinion: Japan — land of no health-care wait times financialpost.com/opinion/japan-…
